Suggestion to establish Corona Command Center in every district

A think tank under the Department of Science and Technology has suggested that Corona Command Center should be set up in every district which is equipped with the necessary infrastructure and human resources. So that information can be exchanged between the villages and the two sides. According to the suggestion of The Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council, it will help maximize the resources and data available for other scientific purposes. According to the Council, the Corona Command Centers of all the districts should be connected to the Corona Command Center of the state which would be the information repository center of the entire state. Likewise, all state Corona command centers must be connected to the central Corona command center.
