Over the last few months, Samsung has also
contributed INR 20 crore to Union and State
Governments in India
Samsung employees
across India
have put together a voluntary contribution of INR 1 crore to support the
country's fight against Covid-19. The money raised by the employees will be
transferred by the Company to the PM CARES Fund.
This contribution,
voluntarily raised by the employees from their individual salaries, is over and
above the INR 20 Crore donation made by the Company to the PM CARES Fund and
other state funds, as part of the commitment to the country's battle against
Covid-19.
Samsung believes in the
philosophy of 'Make in India ,
Make for India
and Make for the World'.
The voluntary
contribution by the employees is a testament to the same commitment, and takes
roots in the Samsung values of People and Co-prosperity, among the other values
such as Excellence, Change and Integrity.
The Company remains
committed to assist the local communities in these trying times, and beyond,
through various citizenship initiatives. In the last two months, Samsung India has
provided hospitals in Noida with medical equipment required in the preventive
drive against the pandemic. This includes thousands of Preventive Masks and
Personal Preventive Equipment (PPE) kits: Surgeon Gowns, Face Masks, Gloves,
Preventive Eye wear, Hood Cap and Shoe Covers. The Company has also equipped
hospitals and at other healthcare facilities with a large number of Infra-red
Thermometers and Public Address systems. Along with these, Air Purifiers that
are vital to improve the ambient air quality in medical facilities, have also
been provided.
In Noida, and in two
districts of in Tamil Nadu, Samsung has also supported the local
administration, local police and migrant workers with daily essentials such as
food packets and grocery.
Deliveries of Digital
X-ray and Digital Ultrasound machines that Samsung provides to government
hospitals as part of its Samsung Smart Healthcare citizenship program were also
hastened. The most recent deliveries of the equipment have been to hospitals in
Noida, Rajkot
and Pune that have been designated as Covid-19 facilities. The Samsung Digital
X-ray and Digital Ultrasound machines have aided in quick diagnostics.
