What’s It About?
This COVID-19 Solution Challenge, initiated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has been rolled out to the public on the Indian Govt. portal mygov.in.

This initiative, known as ‘Help Us To Help You‘ seeks to collect maximum suggestions from the citizens and startups. The suitability of these suggestions will be then evaluated for adoption in treating coronavirus.
Harnessing innovation for a healthier planet.
A lot of people have been sharing technology-driven solutions for COVID-19.
I would urge them to share them on @mygovindia. These efforts can help many. #IndiaFightsCorona https://t.co/qw79Kjtkv2
