Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Non-Profit Sector in Telangana

Having been on the forefronts of almost every crisis situation, Nonprofit and Nongovernmental Organizations in India have often been more than a helping hand to both governmental establishments and communities in general. In light of the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, many NGOs in Telangana, as well as in the other parts of India have experienced a dip in financials and increased demands for their services. As a result, many NGOs in the state of Telangana have adopted new strategies and new ways of working in an effort to make themselves thrive and still be relevant in society. This research article primarily focuses on the impact of the novel coronavirus on the social service sector in the state of Telangana in terms of financials, strategies and ways of working that have helped the NGOs thrive sustainably so far. Clean Environment Initiative has taken a step towards investing its efforts in understanding the impacts on the aforementioned factors through a questionnaire-based survey and has presented a detailed summary of its findings in this research article.
