Chetak Foundation has tied up with India’s leading organizations including SGRH, DMRC, IOCL to roll our various social initiatives to honour and felicitate their frontline workers and drivers and provide them with dry ration and sanitization kits, which will prepare them to avert the Third Wave of Covid.

Some of these include Oxygen Plus (an environment initiative), Swasthaya Plus (a Health initiative), Poshan Plus (a nutrition initiative to alleviate hunger), Shiksha Plus (an Education initiative), Zindagi Plus (a Road Safety Initiative), Sahayata Plus (an initiative to help people during crises or natural calamities).
