COVID-19 has put the citizens of India, in crisis. This deadly virus is not only harming people physically, but the jobs of people also got lost. People do not even have money to buy daily rations.

On the last day, the organization officials provided ration materials to dozens of Braj’s needy folk artists, and the mission provided relief assistance to more than 1 lakh people in the form of food, ration, mask, sanitizer, etc. throughout the lockdown.
On 8 June, under the COVID-19 Relief Service, Vishwa Shanti Sewa Charitable Trust provided ration packages including flour, pulses, rice, chili spices to folk artists affected by the lockdown, in the park at Krishnanagar.
On this occasion, the organization secretary Vijay Sharma informed everyone about the mission being run under the leadership of organization President Pandit Devkinandan Thakur and how relief food material was distributed since the beginning of the lockdown, providing assistance.
