Bhawanipatna, July 18: Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has once again demonstrated its commitment to community welfare by organizing a mega multi-speciality health camp under its flagship CSR initiative, Project Aarogya. The camp was held in Gobardhanpur Gram Panchayat, covering 15 villages deep within Odisha’s Kalahandi district.

Conducted during the peak monsoon season—when rural communities are particularly vulnerable to seasonal illnesses—the camp provided timely and essential medical care to over 350 patients. Specialists in paediatrics, general medicine, gynaecology, and allied fields offered consultations, treatment, and preventive health education to bridge the healthcare access gap in these underserved regions.

Speaking on the initiative, Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya, CEO of Vedanta Alumina Business, said, “At Vedanta Lanjigarh, we are deeply committed to uplifting communities through sustainable healthcare interventions. This mega health camp is part of our preventive approach to ensure timely medical support, especially in remote villages. Through Project Aarogya, we continue to drive meaningful impact by bringing healthcare to the doorstep of the needy people.”

Project Aarogya has emerged as a transformative healthcare program in the region. In FY2024–25 alone, Vedanta Lanjigarh conducted over 660 Mobile Health Unit (MHU) visits, reaching more than 20,500 individuals. Additionally, over 680 community awareness sessions were held, educating more than 15,000 people on hygiene, wellness, and disease prevention.

Vedanta’s continued efforts in last-mile healthcare delivery reinforce its role as a responsible development partner in Odisha’s tribal heartland. The initiative not only addresses immediate medical needs but also fosters long-term health awareness and resilience among rural populations.
