Activities to fight against Covid-19
The moment WHO declared Covid-19 a Pandemic in March-20, the company started a massive awareness campaign in the nearby areas of Bhadla Solar Park. Saurya Urja has constantly reached out to people in need including local habitants, migrant labourers, contractors and people associated with the company.
Some activities are mentioned below:
Awareness campaign for COVID-19:
From placing banners to pasting posters, to door-to-door awareness campaigns, the company has taken several initiatives to educate the people about the ongoing pandemic
Food distribution to the unprivileged:
During the first lockdown, the company supplied ‘Dry Ration,’ which included 10 kg whole wheat flour, 2 kg pulses, and 4 pieces of soap to about 1000 families in five revenue villages surrounding the Bhadla Solar Park.
Aid for migrant labours:
138 labour families, including children, were deprived of food and water. During the lockdown, the company provided rations for around two months and assisted them in obtaining clean water and other necessities.
The country is experiencing an Oxygen Crisis during the second wave of COVID-19. To address this issue, the Company is assisting the Government of Rajasthan by supplying an oxygen generation plant, oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, pulse oximeters, and thermal guns to the Community Health Center (CHC) in Bikaner’s Lunkaransar Tehsil.
