DRIVER MEETS
Keeping the welfare and benefit of the truck drivers in
mind, Mahindra Navistar organized Truck Driver camps in different cities for
the betterment of the truck drivers. The duration of these camps were from 1 to
3 days in cities like Kolkata, Lucknow, Chandrapur, Hyderabad etc where all the
truck drivers received proper health checkup which included BMI, Blood Sugar
and Eye checkup. Medical kits along with food packets were distributed to each
one of them.
In order to build awareness among them Skits were organized
in Hindi, Tamil and Gujarati addressing issues like HIV and STD. The drivers
received special counseling sessions to educate them on issues of vital
importance like HIV and driver safety. A Yoga camp was held by a Yoga expert who
conducted exercises relating to the lifestyle of drivers which proved to be
beneficial and useful for them.
An initiative has been taken by the Agrawal Packers and
Movers who created Driver Kendra, a facility for all drivers who need to take a
break from long hours of driving to utilize the retiring facilities and restart
their journey afresh. The idea behind this approach is to address the needs of
the drivers who are a vital part of this country. The final camp took place in
