VEDANTA CSR : HEALTH AND MEDICAL BENEFITS IN DEEP RURAL AND TRIBAL AREAS

One of the major problems that rural India faces today relates to Health and Medical Issues particularly, during the change of seasons there is always a risk of spread of epidemic diseases. The hospitals and health posts are all distant away which further aggravates the issue. Where adult members can still reach distant hospitals, carrying children due to lack of proper commutation source, becomes even more difficult.

Vedanta has taken the Health and Medical benefits at the door-steps of these deep Rural and Tribal areas in the States of Rajasthan, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Tamil Nadu.
