Coca-Cola and CARE India have prepared special dry-ration kits to meet specific nutritional needs of various marginalised groups like migrant workers, daily-wage earners and people living with HIV/AIDS across various parts of the country. The three-month long programme, which started in June, is a part of Coca-Cola's commitment of Rs100 crore towards various Covid-19 relief programmes aimed at benefiting over a million people all over the country. The kits, being distributed in Delhi and NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar and West Bengal, include essentials like wheat flour, rice, pulse, cooking oil, spices, sugar, salt, soy chunks, poha, peanuts, protein powder, milk powder and soap bars. Special attention has been given to meeting the nutritional needs of women and girls, as well as especially vulnerable groups such as those with HIV/AIDS. The two partners also ensure that safe and respectful distribution practices are followed in this distribution. With a focus towards supporting relief operations during the Covid-19 pandemic and making a difference, Coca-Cola has partnered with CARE India to provide immediate food security and other essentials to underprivileged and vulnerable groups. As a part of this initiative, it aims to benefit over 150,000 people in these states.
