TVS. India’s favorite company. A company that makes products that are built for Indians, and Indians only. They know the Indian market better than most and make perfect products according to it.
This time around, they are not just getting awarded for their stupendously perfect products, but for a noble deed fighting against COVID-19. Most companies become overly capitalistic and greedy, only focus on profits, and forget that they have some responsibility for the common man and the country. TVS is surely not one of them, as it puts the people first by helping in fighting against the COVID-19 virus in these trying times even when they were facing supply chain issues, like most companies.
To be precise, TVS Motor Company has won an award today at the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry) CSR Summit and Awards 2022, for their significant contribution towards the community through their CSR wing, Srinivasan Services Trust (SST), during the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing TVS Motor Company’s contribution and initiatives towards ensuring welfare and community strength, especially across rural India, the enterprise has been awarded under the category “Fight against COVID-19”.
Attending the ceremony at the FICCI Federation House in New Delhi, Mr Swaran Singh IAS (R), Chairman, Srinivasan Services Trust, said, “We are humbled to be recognized by FICCI for our endeavors against the pandemic. COVID-19 brought unprecedented challenges for the communities, especially in rural and semi-urban India, where the awareness and preparedness to tackle the situation were comparatively lower. Our teams, across the rural areas, worked tirelessly to provide essential services along with the local government. Over Rs. 85 crores have been contributed by TVS Motor Company towards COVID relief.
Procurement and distribution of essential medical equipment and medicines, spraying of disinfectant in villages and cities, life-saving oxygen concentrators and High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) machines, lakhs of food packets and much more were provided to the rural hospitals and communities. SST provided assistance to 525 rural primary health centers and hospitals to ensure that far-flung rural communities have access to essential medical items on a priority basis. Apart from this, Rajiv Gandhi & Stanley Government Hospitals at Chennai were provided full support during the pandemic with the aim to save thousands of lives. This award is a testament to the dedication and efforts of teams across TVS Motor Company, our partners, and the government.”
