Relief for Cyclones Ockhi, Gaja, and the Covid 19 Pandemic

Project

Ramco’s philosophy

Ramco’s philosophy towards disaster response has always been to rush to the affected areas and deploy our employees from nearby factory and marketing team to co-ordinate with the District Administration for providing immediate lifesaving essential relief materials and measures to the affected persons in the area. In fact, Ramco tracks the onset of events like cyclone in advance and the employees and the team of men, tools and equipments are planned beforehand.

This organization was tried and tested during the relief for cyclones Ockhi, Gaja, and the Covid 19 pandemic.
