During the COVID-19 outbreak, the NORKA-Roots portal played a crucial role in facilitating registrations from individuals worldwide who wished to return to Kerala. Recognizing the challenges faced by people stranded in different states of India due to lockdowns and travel restrictions, the portal opened its registration services on April 29, 2020. This initiative aimed to assist individuals in reaching out to authorities for support and coordination in their efforts to return to Kerala amid the uncertainties and disruptions caused by the pandemic. The portal became a vital tool for those seeking assistance and repatriation during these challenging times.
