New Delhi [India], December 21(ANI/NewsVoir): GovernEye Systems, a New Delhi based citizen engagement platform, is trying to find out how in the future we can be best prepared for an unexpected crisis like a pandemic that requires a strict lockdown. To achieve that goal, a survey was launched on Oct.1, 2020 to find the most helpful Lok Sabha MPs during the COVID lockdown. The results have been announced today and are available at the following URL: www.governeye.co.in/survey/result.
A total of 33,82,560 valid nominations were received through our website for 512 Lok Sabha MPs between Oct 1, 2020 and Oct 15, 2020.

Speaking about the results, Manjunath Keri, Senior Project Lead of the survey team said, “The results don’t reveal the stories of courage and selflessness of these MPs that our teams heard during their conversations with people across various constituencies. For all the negative publicity our elected representatives get, we don’t hear the stories of how some MPs and their teams risked their personal safety to serve their constituency.”
Over the next several weeks, GovernEye will seek brief interview sessions with all the MPs listed above to learn from them how India can be better prepared to face a similar crisis in the future.
