Embassy Group provides meals, dry rations worth Rs 1 cr to daily wage workers in Bengaluru

Leading realty firm Embassy Group on Tuesday said it has invested over Rs 1 crore to provide cooked meals and dry rations to daily wage workers affected by the lockdown.

Under its Embassy Cares programme, it has distributed around 2,50,000 meals to daily wage workers and migrant families across several locations in Bengaluru, the company said.

"The Group has invested over Rs 1 crore to combat the COVID-19 crisis, with significant interventions," it added.

In north and central Bengaluru, the company is supporting 3,500 families of students at some of the government schools with food rations, amounting to 1,47,000 meals. Each ration kit contains rice, dal, channa, oil, spices and vegetables.

Similar relief measures have been carried out in other parts of the city.

Aditya Virwani, Chief Operating Officer, Embassy Group, said, with so many underprivileged members of our communities, daily wage and migrant workers trying to make ends meet during this crisis, it's important that we all step up to do our part."
