While we see the global numbers increasing every day, the villages we work in have followed PM Narendra Modi’s instructions strictly.
Let's take you to a village called Bejnathpur in Uttar Pradesh where IndusInd Bank under Jal Jeevan Project of Hinduja Foundation has made safe drinking water facility available to this village.
Understanding the importance of this essential service being provided, the operator of Jal Jeevan Kendra has been proactively helping the Gram Panchayat in sanitizing the entire village. They have ensured each household had enough soaps, sanitizers, gloves and masks for self-protection. Ration made available equitably to avoid panic buying in the village.
The operator circulated the IEC material shared by the Sarvajal team to spread awareness amongst the community. He educated the villagers about maintaining personal hygiene by washing hands and cleaning their utensils before filling water. He sanitizes the plant every 2 hours and ensures people do not come in groups to take water. Social distancing is being maintained as he can specifically mark circle a meter away.
The villagers have also co-operated and responsibly came forward to declare their people who had just returned from any journey. The Public Health Center immediately conducted tests for these people fortunately they were negative.
Everyone in the village firmly believes in staying back in their houses helping contribute towards making their community healthy.
