We at Samvad Partners have been working with Aapti Institute to create an app for tracking government notifications relating to the Covid-19 Crisis. The app uses resources from the 'Covid-19 Legal Resources' Google Drive folder created by us at Samvad and provides an easy way to search and view all Central and State legislations, notifications and court/tribunal orders related to the Covid-19 crisis.
As with the Google Drive folder, this app is also being made available as a public resource. We're happy to announce that the app is now ready for launch.
You can access it here.
This app is also a work in progress, but we will be updating it daily and are seeking suggestions for its improvement. Please let us know if there's anything we should be adding, updating or changing here. You can provide us your suggestions at contact@aapti.in and expertise@samvadpartners.com
