For Kudumbashree members across the State, fighting COVID-19 is not just about manufacturing masks and sanitisers. The organised workforce of women contributes to several aspects of COVID management in the State, especially during the second wave of the pandemic. Services of Kudumbashree range from arranging treatment centres in association with local bodies, providing pulse oximeters to the needy in every ward, to offering assistance to the public to connect with local bodies. One of the biggest contributions of Kudumbashree is its ‘Janakeeya Hotels’ across the State. “Most local bodies arrange food for patients at FLTCs, SLTCs and for those in home quarantine through our Janakeeya Hotels as there are only a few community kitchens functional now,” said Kavitha.P.C, District Mission Coordinator of Kudumbashree in Kozhikode, adding that there were 103 Janakeeya Hotels providing meals at ₹20.
