Conclusion Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement throughout its six decades of transformative evolution possess a track record of exemplary humanitarian action. Guided by Sarvodaya's inspirational purpose, to 'build a just, sustainable and a compassionate social order that fulfils the basic human needs of the community through individual and collective awakening', Sarvodaya leadership has acted out in humanitarian charity, understanding the very depths of the challenges COVID19 posed since its inception. Sarvodaya as an 'Organisation' has responded with purposeful action setting up realistic goals and indicators to measure the impact of the pandemic as well as the solutions they rollout to diverse communities. Sarvodaya as a 'Movement' has understood the sensitivities of the grassroots ground reality addressing not only the physical demands and needs of communities but also being extremely sensitive to the psychological, spiritual, and social requirements to mitigate consequences in the long run. This blend has brought about successful interventions to reality increasing the wellbeing of communities at this time of crisis. The COVID19 response has also reflected the urgency of the services which Sarvodaya has already rendered and has planned to rollout in the next few phases of the Suwodaya programme. In successfully and efficiently addressing these plethora of needs, Sarvodaya's development partners have immensely contributed to a structured yet holistic humanitarian action programme reinforcing their trust in the organisation, renewing partnerships as well as building new ones. The partner organisations, assuming interchanging roles as donors or project implementation partners have therefore contributed to the efforts in a grand scale facilitating the supply of essential resources as well as technical support required to affect positive action at community level. Convivial alliances such as the Civil Society Collective has been a key strength to mobilise emergency relief and action to the most vulnerable communities while sharing resources as well as building each other's capacities in the meantime.
