However, most citizens may not realise that these sites are being operated by numerous Civil Society Organisations (CSO’s) and executed by persons volunteering their time, efforts, and energy. One organisation, SEWA TT (pronounced See-Wa), has been overseeing the vaccination of as many as 3000 persons every day from their location at the Divali Nagar.
