CARE CENTRE -  COVID19 AWARENESS RESOURCE CENTRE

Dear All,

Greetings from the Library Division, ISI Kolkata.

I hope you are keeping safe during this difficult phase! 

I want to reach out to you personally during this uncertain time, as the situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to evolve and is having an unprecedented impact and effect on the educational institutions across the globe. As we are in a locked-down phase and not able to attend the Institutes, Offices, Schools, etc. and thus to help you out, I have compiled with the information from various resources for your reference. I hope you will enjoy referring to this…..

Thanks & Regards,

Dr. Kishor Chandra Satpathy
