More than 500 people across 15 villages registered their participation in the session, which was conducted in Zawar, Debari, Dariba, Chittorgarh, Kayad, and Agucha. It was organized as part of the CSR effort with the goal of spreading ‘Awareness on AIDS.’ The session was held at different locations with the help of Mobile Health Vans (MHVs), which drove to several villages educating communities on AIDS.
The informative session addressed and explored various concerns about AIDS. The topics covered by the health professionals were the difference between HIV and AIDS, the causes of infection, disease symptoms, health risks and concerns, and HIV prevention. The staff also debunked several myths and misconceptions raised by the attendees, such as AIDS cannot be transmitted by body fluids like saliva, sweat, or tears.

The company initiated its Mobile Health Vans near its operational locations, where communities can avail health screenings and benefits without any cost. Through awareness sessions and point-of-care testing, the MHVs aim to provide more preventative, primitive, and curative services. These MHVs have travelled across a number of communities and have also touched many remote locations.
