The Coronavirus is affecting 210 countries and territories around the world and is causing considerable human suffering. Governments are trying to control the situation by enforcing lockdowns where unnecessary travel is restricted, and businesses are shut. This has created a serious cutback in the supply chain of essential goods. The Police and volunteers have scaled up relief operations distributing food packets and medical camps throughout the country

Under such circumstances a group of enthusiastic and socially responsible individuals from Kozhikode joined hands with Kozhikode Municipal Corporation and Kudumbasree to start a drinking water delivery system called ”Jala”. Jala is a digital platform for supplying pure drinking and cooking water within Kozhikode city limits, initially focussing on police checkpoints, volunteer relief camps, immigrants from other states and isolated residential areas.

Jala Project was inaugurated by the presiding mayor of Kozhikode, Mr.Thottathil Raveendran on April 7,2020. The Police, volunteers and other officials can now order water using Jala app from anywhere within Calicut city premises and the water will be delivered free by Jala volunteers in the minimum time. Extreme safety measures are taken to assure a very safe and hygienic delivery (as per UN protocol ).
