Partnering with Seva Bharathi
Due to the sudden surge of COVID-19 cases in India, even conducting the last rites of deceased has become very challenging. A lot of families are finding it difficult to find means of transport for deceased COVID-19 victims. Even though the vehicles are available, due to fear of exposure to the infection, drivers were not willing to come. Mr. Ravindra, a very active volunteer from India, invented a solution whereby he customized a van to be completely safe for drivers which will leave no scope of exposure from the deceased. Seva Bharathi, a non-profit organization, wanted to provide vehicles for this service of transferring the victim bodies to crematoriums to receive last rites, and reached out to Vikasa Tarangini, VT Seva’s sister organization, as they were running into similar issues of not finding drivers. Vikasa Tarangini collaborated with Seva Bharathi and customized the vehicles for free, and also gave a vehicle for use in this service. This service is helping the victims’ families and giving them a little respite in ensuring the loved ones receive respectful last rites.
