RSS started a huge community kitchen at a temple to prepare, pack and distribute food for Covid patients... 

The RSS has deployed the highest number of over one lakh  ‘Swayamsewaks’ in Kerala for  “serving”  those facing distress on account of coronavirus. Overall, the organization has sent out a total of over 2 lakh of its workers — of which around 2,000 are doctors and medical students — across the country. 

A total of 25,61,391 people who are affected in one way or the other since the outbreak of the pandemic were assisted by 2,04,190 RSS workers across the country in 25,924 places.

The RSS “inspired” doctors and medical students under the banner of the ‘National Medicos Organisation’ have been working “in around 110 places in the country” including hotspots, they are “inspired” by the RSS and willing to be the ‘frontline warrior’ in the crisis.

Beside Doctors and medical students, the RSS 'Swayemsevaks’ are spread over 25 states according to the RSS zone-wise division of the country. The states include Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka in the south to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh to Jammu, and Kashmir in the North and Maharashtra and Gujarat in the west to Bengal, Assam, and Tripura in East and the North-East.

Interestingly, the RSS deployment is massive in Kerala where 1,04,500 of its workers have been placed in 6000 places. They have attended to around 30,00,00 people in the state to date.  In comparison, the other states including the highest populated Uttar Pradesh and the most coronavirus-affected state of Maharashtra stand nowhere near Kerala in the presence of ‘Swayemsevaks’.

In Uttar Pradesh, the Braj area has 8977 workers, Kanpur 7827, Avadh region 3273 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home constituency Varanasi has 4639 ‘Swayamsevaks’ to provide civic help.

In Maharashtra, the RSS has sent 136 workers in Konkan, 290 in Vidharbh, 250 in west Maharashtra, and 588 Swayemsevaks in Devgiri.
