Beyond the skyscrapers of "Millenium City" Gurgaon lies a village called Palra. A village of 7,000 people which has seen only one case of COVID-19 so far but has donated ₹ 21 crore to the Haryana government's coronavirus relief fund. It is among the five villages of Haryana that have together donated ₹ 50 crore to the fund. None of these villages, however, are facing a Covid crisis. The money has been donated by the village panchayats, from the development fund of the villages.
