Students stand by villagers in Darjeeling

In a bid to help the families overcome this tough phase, students of premier institutes of Bengal — such as Presidency University Jadavpur University, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), who are members of Quarantined Student Youth Network (QSYN) — have come forward to donate food and essentials to them.
