Ever since Prime Minister Modi announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown in India, people have been really stressed about getting their essential needs taken care of.

Namma Bengaluru’s auto drivers will soon be delivering groceries and medicines at your doorstep. A city-based social enterprise, Three Wheels United (TWU) has launched a programme for auto drivers to provide delivery services for people who are in need of essential goods like medicines and groceries.
What’s In It?
Three Wheels United is providing their participating auto drivers with a guaranteed minimum income during this coronavirus pandemic.
