In Pune, Bajaj will support upgradation of key healthcare infrastructure required to tackle Covid-19. The aid will support the Government and identified private sector hospitals to upgrade ICUs, procure additional equipment and consumables including ventilators and personal protection equipment, enhance testing, and set up isolation units. These interventions will support communities in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and rural areas of Pune.
Bajaj also working with organisations in multiple geographies to extend immediate support to the most affected - daily wage workers, the homeless and street children. The group will support initiatives on food supply, shelter and access to sanitation and healthcare.
In the last few weeks, there has been a reverse migration to the villages. The group is thus committing a significant portion of its support towards an economic aid programme in rural areas which includes a direct survival grant, followed by a livelihood intervention using a revolving fund model. The family pays back the loan from the earnings of the livelihood intervention - leading to 80% of funds provided to family being returned to a community fund for further deployment to others in need within the community.
Bajaj will also work with authorities and partners towards creating awareness on Covid-19 and strengthening health infrastructure in the rural areas, including supporting and strengthening diagnostic centres and isolation facilities.
