The present article discusses the emergence of community conscience and active help by the community during the Covid-19 crisis in India. As the Government struggled with ways to contain the spread of the virus, and provide treatments to the affected, the neighbourhood community came forward and lent active support in whatever ways they could, starting from distributing food and necessities, to hospitalization of the sick. These community initiatives made noteworthy contribution in preventing starvation of the marginalized class, rendering necessary medical assistance to the affected people, and helped spread awareness which went a long way towards curbing the spread of the virus.
