New Delhi/Mumbai, 7thJuly, 2021:Vedanta is rolling out a social transformation campaign through its flagship project, NandGhar,focused on key areas of Health, Education, Nutrition, Women Empowerment & Hygiene. The campaign titled #ForABetterKalaptly showcases the essence of Nand Ghar, aiming to bridge the gap between urban and rural India.
As part of the campaign, the company will be unveiling five videospaying tribute to frontline workers of NandGhar who are working tirelessly towards upliftment of communities.The NandGhar project – run under the aegis of the Anil Agarwal Foundation -is transforming the Anganwadi ecosystem in collaboration with the Union Ministry of Women & Child Development.
The campaign, conceptualized and created by McCann World Group, throws light on services such as education and new e-learning modules introduced across villages to ensure continuity of early childhood education even during the lockdown. These modules that were previously only seen in urban cities are now being implemented successfully in villages through the ardent efforts of the Nand Ghar team. Another video showcases the advanced healthcare facilities provided to the communities. Medical services that were a distant dream for these villages are now seeing the light of day due to the Nand Ghar project.
The company will also be launching these videos as TVCs across multiple national television channels as well as social media platforms. They will be aired on leading channels supported by digital, outdoor and retail activation plan.
Speaking on the initiative Ms. Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Director, Vedanta Resources said, “All women and children deserve equal opportunities. Vedanta NandGhars are working towards providing the best nutrition, healthcare, education and skilling for children and women in rural India to help them grow and become self-sufficient.These videos are a testimony to the undying spirit of our frontline workers of NandGhar who are fulfilling these dreams through their unwavering determination.”

With the launch of the second phase of this campaign,a new dimension to this relationship will be added.”
With more than 2,300 NandGhars across 11 States, the campaign is key to bringing out stories to the world and aid transformation in rural women & children. NandGharaims to transform the lives of 7 crore children and 2 crore women at the grassroots level.
