As a new initiative to circumvent the COVID-19 situation, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has announced providing health and hygiene kits to 25,000 families. Through employee volunteered CSR initiative, Sanjeevini, the company distributed health and hygiene kits to 5,000 employees, each of whom took it upon themselves to distribute the kits to five families in their neighbourhoods.
The task was carried out both, in Bangalore urban and the nearby rural areas, helping 25,000 families stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The kits comprised sanitizer bottle, three-ply facemasks and hand-wash soap.
Talking about the initiative, Vikram Gulati, Country Head & Senior Vice President, External Affairs, Public Relations, Corporate Social Responsibility & Corporate Governance, TKM, said, “Since the onset of the pandemic, TKM has been proactively responding to the crisis according to the needs of the community as well as by supporting the Government efforts.
The distribution of the health and hygiene kits carried out over the last one month is another such program aimed at empowering the community we live in. The idea for distribution of the kits stemmed from the view of safeguarding not just our employees but also the other families residing in their neighbourhoods.” (Source : ndtv.com)
