Supporting the country in the battle against COVID-19, Canon India is conducting a vaccination awareness drive and setting up support camps in its adopted villages – Maheshwari Village (Haryana), Parivali Village (Mumbai), Kalyanpur Village (Kolkata) and Annadodi Village (Bangalore), to help them register for vaccination. Canon India is helping the villagers with the required information on vaccination, its benefits, after-effects, and procedures. Additionally, the organization is also helping them to get registered on the government portals, in case walk-in registration is not available.
Apart from volunteers taking individual sessions with villagers at their homes, village authorities and leaders are also supporting the drive by circulating the right information and encouraging the residents to learn about the vaccination process. Within a week of the awareness drive, Canon India has helped over 1000 people with vaccination regarding procedures and get them registered on portals. Last year, Canon India had commenced its COVID-19 relief efforts by donating essential ration kits to over 12,500 beneficiaries including the daily wagers and Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in its adopted villages and sanitation items to children from SOS Children’s Village Family homes.
