who came together to join in the ‘Now it’s your turn’ campaign.
This edition witnessed the highest ever numbers in terms of participation with over
2,200 volunteering activities were conducted by 55 Tata companies across 170+ locations,
to support 560+ partners (non-profits, orphanages, local self-governments, schools,
hospitals, villages and communities). Volunteers contributed their time, effort
and expertise to causes ranging from conducting road safety awareness campaigns
to protecting biodiversity by involving local partners to assembling wheelchairs
for the differently abled; and from building houses for those affected by disaster
to employees signing up for organ donation.
