This year, ReNew distributed around 200,000 blankets across key regions, including Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, NCR, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Gujarat. The Kumbh Mela distribution on 23 January, at the hands of Shri Nand Gopal Gupta, Minister for Industrial Development, Export Promotion, NRI & Investment Promotion, Uttar Pradesh government, brought the total to a remarkable one million blankets. This milestone underscores ReNew’s steadfast commitment to aiding vulnerable communities during harsh winters.
This year’s campaign witnessed the presence of leaders at the blanket distribution drives, including Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, in Rudraprayag; Shri Vijay Sharma, Deputy Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, in Raipur; Shri Inder Singh Parmar, Cabinet Minister in Madhya Pradesh, in Ujjain and Ratlam, and Shri Ganesh Ram Singh Khuntia, Minister of State for Forest, Environment & Climate Change Odisha in Mayurbhanj. Their participation underscored the collaborative spirit and shared commitment to supporting vulnerable communities during the harsh winter months.
The ‘Gift Warmth’ initiative has grown significantly over the past decade, addressing the severe impact of extreme winters on underserved populations, which have become more frequent and intense due to climate change. Working closely with local authorities, ReNew has ensured the effective identification and support of individuals and communities most affected by cold waves, extending its outreach to shelters and remote areas. This year alone, blanket distribution drives reached district, tehsil, and village levels, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals.
Ms. Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-founder and Chairperson of Sustainability, ReNew, reflected on this remarkable journey, “Gift Warmth embodies ReNew’s mission to create a meaningful social impact. Achieving the milestone of distributing one million blankets is a testament to the dedication of ReNewers and the unwavering spirit of collaboration with local communities. It is inspiring to see how this initiative has evolved into a movement of compassion and care, and we remain committed to scaling such impactful efforts in the future.”
ReNew’s ‘Gift Warmth’ campaign sources blankets from small-scale businesses, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local economies alongside providing critical winter relief. What began as a modest endeavour to prevent cold-related hardships has become a landmark initiative in ReNew’s community engagement efforts.
