NEEV Foundation has launched a powerful NEEV Summer Relief campaign, deploying 60 relief vans across six states to combat extreme heat conditions affecting millions of outdoor workers.

The initiative provides clean, cold drinking water at high-footfall public areas and directly to frontline workers including traffic police personnel, delivery executives, construction workers, street vendors and autorickshaw drivers. Alongside water, the vans distribute ORS pouches and protective caps to help replenish minerals and counter heat exposure.

Recognising the impact on all living beings, NEEV Foundation has also installed water tanks for stray animals and placed bird feeders and water trays across multiple locations.

“The thirsty always come to the well. This summer, we decided to take the well to the thirsty,” the Foundation stated.

Mr. Vivek Patni, Director – Wonder Cement and Founder of NEEV Foundation, said, “India’s summers are becoming increasingly harsh for people who spend most of their day outdoors. Through this NEEV Summer Relief campaign, we wanted to create immediate, accessible relief for those who keep our cities functioning despite extreme weather conditions.”

He added, “Sometimes the most meaningful interventions are the simplest. We hope this campaign encourages citizens to participate in small acts of care and collective compassion.”

The NEEV Summer Relief drive, titled “Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega,” is being implemented across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra.

The seasonal campaign forms part of NEEV Foundation’s broader development mandate, which includes women skill development under Hunar, community infrastructure through Sanrachna, education under Udaan, healthcare via Arogyam, and sustainability under Eco Green.
