JDMC NCC under the guidance of Principal Prof. Swati Pal, and CTO Debahuti Brahmachari have taken the initiative to build an online resource platform (NCC ONLINE COVID TASK FORCE) related to essential information and resources that is helping people all across the city and NCR in such grave times of the pandemic. The cadets have been working around the clock and are providing information in relation to urgent queries related to hospital beds, oxygen suppliers, blood/plasma donation agencies, home care ICU services, medicinal contacts, ambulances and much more for more than over a month now. Various telephonic channels, social media handles, messaging groups are being used to disseminate valuable and verifiable information on real time basis. Some cadets are working on ground as Covid relief forces who volunteer for basic needs such as distribution of food , medicines to the needy etc, promotion and awareness of basic protocols for COVID safety etc. Mental health expert sessions were being held with the help of international experts for the students primarily. . The task force has also been approached by several organisations and volunteer groups to partner with them. With a total of 63 cadets as part of the initiative, the efforts have been substantiated with excellent feedbacks from the beneficiaries. Meanwhile it has also started a sensitization campaign for vaccination and blood donation as well in these tough times
