Knowledge Management Initiatives for Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic in India

Abstract

Even though India, with the second-largest population on the planet, had taken early careful steps through screening and activating the integrated disease surveillance program movement, the COVID-19 disease was yet spreading once the lockdown was lifted in 2020. Thus, not only India but the entire world is dreading the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The present work offers reporting and investigations of the current issues about COVID-19, particularly from March to November 2020 in India. The authors have done an exhaustive analysis of media reports, government briefings, social platforms and present five knowledge management initiatives through a framework to improve the current state of response.
