Extraordinary times need extraordinary measures and the outbreak of coronavirus has presented a new challenge to the world which was already battling economic challenges.
India currently is under lockdown up to May 3, 2020, to break the chain of this virus and as our Hon’ble Prime Minister said, if we don’t act now, the development of our country will be pushed back by 21 years. In this scenario, it is important for us to continue to connect with each other through various communication channels, keep our confidence level high and spearhead policy advocacy in a focused manner with government and all other stakeholders.
IMTMA is bringing you information on what countries across the world including India as well as industries are doing to combat the situation. The E-newsletter gives an insight into news, advisories and notifications from the central and state governments in India and the best practices that Indian and global industries have adopted to combat this pandemic. |
