Mobile Clinic
The doctor-patient ratio in our country is in bad shape. The situation is so alarming that some villages don’t even have a properly registered health clinic in a radius of 5-7 km. To deal with the situation Poonawalla is currently organizing a weekly mobile clinic for the poor masses. The clinic carries a qualified doctor and lab technician team to conducts basic health test like Blood Pressure, BMI & Blood sugar. Our medical camp has also distributed mask and sanitizer to all the visiting patients in the current pandemic. Till Mar’21, we have conducted around 579 health camps across the country and served around 44000 patients.
Promotion of Education
Under this initiative we undertake projects in govt. or trust schools that cater to underprivileged children. From building up infrastructure to set up of digital lab are part of this initiative. Modern facilities with hygiene factors are necessary to promote education among the marginalised kids. In FY 21, we constructed 9 toilets in govt. schools located in rural areas, installed a water purifier at a village school in Odisha and set up a digital lab for high school students in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal.
Hunger Free Education
One of the reasons that school drop outs in India continue to be high is what is termed Class Room Hunger! Magma has been working in this area for a few years now. Every year provide mid-day meals to nearly 6500 school kids at different government schools located in Kolkata, Nellore, Aurangabad, Jaipur, Jamshedpur, Faridabad and Delhi. We have a tie-up with ISKCON Food Relief Foundation as our implementation partner for this initiative. . Poonawalla has joined hands with NGOs to provide dry rations, stationery items, and hygiene kits to marginalised kids across the country when schools are closed in the current pandemic situation. In FY 21, we distributed happiness kit (including dry rations, nutrition supplements, stationery, exercise books, masks & sanitisers) to 7500 students. Since 2015 we have served 15.20 lakh mid day meal and touched the lives of over 33000 kids.
Scholar
Poonawalla believes in “Padhega India tabhi to aagey badhega India”. Under this scheme, Poonawalla supports bright students from under-privileged families to continue to live their dream by pursuing under-graduate studies at prestigious institutes. We have around 650 students enrolled in our scheme from various streams like Engineering, Medical, Humanities, Science, Commerce and Law at some of India’s best known institutions. Most of our first batch (2015) students have completed their college courses and received job offers from various Indian and overseas companies. The said students have now become the bread-earners for their families and helping the nation to grow. We have issued a letter for a fresh scholarship to 250 more students in 2020 and this will increase our students tally to 650.

One person dies every 3.5 minutes in road accidents on highways in India. The drivers’ fault account for 78.5% (3,81,648 accidents) of the accidents and more than 30% of the total road accident deaths are associated with trucks annually.
