Hello, We have started working on this. Details are updated at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India and the FAQ page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India/FAQ We have opened up applications and started getting support requests. Because of lockdown in different states in India, things are a bit slow in couriering the kits. We'll keep things updated on Meta-Wiki and here. Regards.
