From providing care for the elderly to building hospitals, Tata companies and Tata Trusts continue to support those in need. While several initiatives were in continuation of ongoing relief work, some projects saw completion.

The relief effort included construction of covid-19 hospital wings and units by Tata Projects, distribution of tea and campaign effort towards elderly care by Tata Consumer Products, transportation of essentials by Land Rover and Vistara - among others.

Supporting Emergency Response

Jaguar Land Rover has deployed over 362 vehicles globally to support charitable organisations and front-line workers tackling the spread of Covid-19. In May, a fleet of 15 Jaguars was supplied to support the Help NHS Heroes campaign – a nationwide effort delivering vital supplies to NHS staff in the United Kingdom.

Care For The Elderly

Tata Tea, well-known for its issue-based brand campaigns that call for citizen rights awareness and activism under the slogan "jaagore", pivoted to a campaign that calls for care for the elderly who are particularly vulnerable both to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as lockdowns. The campaign continues to be live as of June 2020 and can be accessed here: https://www.issbaarbadonkeliyejaagore.com/

At the time of publishing, 176 farmers were connected, with over 35,800 kg of vegetables, fruit and grain transacted.

The Okhai website facilitates both procurement and donation of face masks in many cities in India. As of date, over 120,000 have been produced.
