Who told you that others aren't working too? Not everyone likes to post their activities online. Not that I'm insinuating in any way that these law schools are doing this for any ulterior motive.
Threads like this are responsible for the rise of the atrocious practice that unless you are making social media posts or pursuing media coverage, then you are not doing anything to help people.
Please let us discuss second wave efforts only. So far only alumni/students from NLSIU, NLUD and NALSAR, along with JGLS Chancellor Naveen Jindal, are helping in the second wave. I can understand that Modi personally requested Naveen Jindal and he is donating a lot as he is a billionaire, but even those with less money can help.
JGU COVID Support Group, a group formed by the alumni and student community of O.P. Jindal Global University as a response to the COVID-19 crisis as on June 9, 2020.
Phase 1: Ration, Travel, Sanitary and Medical Assistance We have served more than 13500 people in the last 2 months with dry ration, travel (bus/train), hygiene, and medical assistance in 10 States in India, namely, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal with the help of several partner NGOs, volunteers, interns and student community from JGU.
Phase 2: Floods Relief Work We have collaborated with local NGOs and volunteer groups in Assam and Bihar to provide ration, dry food, soap, sanitary napkins, candles, torches, mosquito coil, etc. to 1300 people affected by floods.

We, the LLM students of National Law University, Delhi and Nithi Manthan have launched the project 'Covify'. We plan to update the real-time verified data of resources for Covid patients and their families. The project website is live and can be accessed at https://covify.in
The process of verification and updating is going on. A cohort of several hundred students is working on it, albeit the data and area to be covered are too large. Wherefore, we need more volunteers. Please come forward and volunteer, or share this with your friends and colleagues who may like to volunteer. Even one verified source at right time has the potential to save a life.
What about the NLSIU administration starting charity from home by being sensitive to the needs of the students and staff during these troubled times? Because as an affected stakeholder (student), I can totally get behind that idea!
During the first wave NLSIU took the lead and organised chartered flights for migrants. It was praised on Twitter by many celebrities and covered on many news channels (videos below). In the coming days you will see another great idea.
