As an endeavour to do service to the society, the NGO Pararthya Sustainable Development & Environment Conservation Society, supported by Viraaj Ventures and funded by Realty Assistant conducted ‘Project Rahat’, a Social Development drive for CSR 2020-21 in which they distributed clothes, organized donation drive, and did various activities in the different parts of the capital region to help those severely affected by winter season in a pandemic stricken environment.
The initiative themed Rahat was dedicated to bring relief to the migrants of Delhi and NCR region who lost their jobs succumbing to the deadly blow of COVID-19. The project was aimed at making people aware about the importance of following personal hygiene amidst the winter doubly hit by the life taking impact of COVID-19.
According to the IMD, in the past decade the country has seen 506 percent increase in cold waves which accounted for more number of deaths due to cold waves as compared to the heat waves. The major reason for the death is the unavailability of shelter and clothing to shield one from the cold waves.
