One such story comes from one of our villages Nimgaon (Maharashtra) adopted by SGS India Private Limited.

As soon as the word started to spread for containment against the deadly virus, the villagers became extremely alert. The Gram Panchayat started with sanitizing the entire village and immediately stopped movement of its people in the village.

It ensured only essential services were operational hence our safe drinking water services were permitted to continue so the village gets drinking water regularly. The machine and ATM are sanitized and users are encouraged to use a mask, wash their hands and clean their utensils properly before filling water.

Our operator in the village has displayed all important information including instructions on do's and don'ts, handwashing, maintaining personal hygiene and social distancing. The villagers have been practising these healthy habits as the Sarpanch is closely monitoring the villagers and their behaviours on the same.

The Sarpanch has been advocating precautionary measures amongst his villagers and assured them to complete support for all their needs. He has ensured both cash and kind help is given to the differently-abled, OBC caste families along with general villager. Cash deposited directly in the bank account and for records copies of passbook and aadhar card of each beneficiary is preserved.

It gives a sense of satisfaction to see how each one is being cared for while each one does its bit!
