The Forum in its regular meetings, being convened by CYSD, deliberated several issues including the returning migrants, management of quarantine centers and the urgent need for collaboration between Government and Civil Society at the ground. A Memorandum with CSO feedback and recommendations was shared with the State Government. A model protocol for managing quarantine centres (Ekanta Niwas) was provided. ABHIYAN, a Member NGO of the Forum has initiated a regional hub in the Jajpur district to support various Panchayats in Jajpur and Kendrapara districts in running the Centres through a proper Dincharya (day long activities schedule). This offers a model for other districts as well.
