Vedanta Aluminium Expands Assistive Support for Persons with Disabilities in Kuraloi

The assistive devices were distributed in the presence of Sanathan Naik, Sarpanch, Kuraloi Panchayat, along with ASHA workers and community members, highlighting strong collaboration with local stakeholders in driving last-mile impact.

Martha Ping, a 53-year-old resident of Kuraloi Village, said, “I am grateful to Vedanta for this wheelchair support. With 45% locomotor disability and growing age, I was finding it difficult to move even within my home or to step outside. This support has made my daily movement much easier and helped me move around more comfortably.”

Another beneficiary, Bhumisuta Kharsel, a resident of Bartap village, shared, “Earlier, I struggled to follow lessons in class, and my mobility on roads was affected as I could not hear the sound of approaching vehicles. With the hearing aid support, I can now hear better and feel more confident in my studies and daily life.”

Vedanta Aluminium remains committed to driving transformation in its operational areas through initiatives spanning education, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, rural infrastructure, and grassroots sports and culture. By working closely with local authorities and community stakeholders, the company ensures its interventions lead to tangible socio-economic progress in its operational areas.
