New Delhi [India], April 3 ( /BusinessWire India): In view of major economic activities shutting down in the country as part of the nationwide lockdown announced on March 23 to combat Covid-19, informal sector workforce including a large section of migrant labour workers and daily wagers have found themselves without a source of disposable incomes and basic amenities like food and housing.This has led to scores of people trying to migrate back to their rural hometowns and villages with the unavailability of public transport. The Central Government and many state governments have mounted several concrete steps to ensure that these people are cared for.Pernod Ricard India Foundation has a long-standing partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation. We are now contributing 4000 meals a day, to Delhi Government's drive to feed vulnerable migrants and daily wage workers."The company has initiated myriad initiatives to support frontline healthcare professionals, enforcement agencies and truck drivers. We remain committed to support our communities and in the current situation, it is extremely important that every citizen contributes to the fight against COVID-19 and our healthcare system remains capable," said Sunil Duggal, VP, Corporate Affairs, Pernod Ricard India."This feeding program with Akshaya Patra serves the informal workforce and ensures that they are well fed, healthy while staying where they are and thus contribute to curtailing the disease spread," added Sunil Duggal.The program is a vital step towards minimizing public movement amid the need for preventive isolation. At the same, it is ensuring that vulnerable communities are being cared for and do not suffer from social and economic adversities during this time and can contribute to this national fight against COVID-19 pandemic in India.These meals are being prepared in best in class hygienic kitchens and are transported and served in safe manner by professional staff. It is being ensured that appropriate physical distancing is maintained by the beneficiaries of the program and they are made aware about best practices in personal hygiene.
