As part of the ongoing 'Swachhata Hi Seva' 2024 campaign, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Steel, organized a special health check-up camp titled 'Safai Mitr Suraksha Shivir' at its Corporate Office. This initiative emphasizes SAIL's commitment to the well-being of the safai mitras (cleanliness workers), who play a crucial role in ensuring cleanliness across SAIL's plants and units.
The 'Safai Mitr Suraksha Shivir' aims to provide essential health check-ups and medical support to the safai mitras, recognizing their invaluable contribution to the cleanliness mission. The health camp is a reflection of SAIL's holistic approach toward promoting cleanliness, sustainability, and care for the individuals working on the ground to make these efforts successful.
Speaking on the occasion, SAIL Chairman Shri Amarendu Prakash said, "Safai mitras are the backbone of our cleanliness initiatives. Through the 'Safai Mitr Suraksha Shivir,' we are ensuring that their health and safety are prioritized, as they play a vital role in realizing the vision of a cleaner and greener India."
The health camp included comprehensive medical check-ups by a team of doctors and health professionals, offering general health consultations, along with specialized screenings for any potential occupational health issues that safai mitras might face in their daily work. The initiative is part of a series of activities under the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign, which runs from 17th September to 2nd October 2024.
In addition to the 'Safai Mitr Suraksha Shivir,' SAIL has undertaken several activities aimed at promoting cleanliness, sustainability, and environmental awareness, including tree plantation drives, awareness campaigns, and various competitions based on the theme of 'Swachhata Hi Seva' 2024.
SAIL's efforts in promoting cleanliness and sustainability, as well as its focus on the well-being of the safai mitras, reflect the organization's dedication to the Swachh Bharat Mission and its commitment to fostering a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for all.
