Pahal Welfare Foundation ran a free pulse-polio campaign on Thursday 22 September at the 14th Avenue society in Gaur City, with the cooperation of the Pulse Polio programme, the Community Health Centre, the Badalpur unit and the government hospital.
Under the campaign a camp was set up and more than 300 children of the 14th Avenue society were given polio drops.
Foundation president D.K. Singh said the polio-drops camp was held in the society so that its children could be protected from polio. He added that, from a safety point of view, the polio-drops campaign was being run in phases for residents of different societies in Greater Noida West, so that no child would be left without a dose.
He explained that although polio has been eradicated in the country, giving children polio drops as a precaution remains necessary so that the disease cannot spread its feet in the country again.
D.K. Singh said a covid vaccination campaign had earlier been run for residents living in the societies of Greater Noida West; in the covid vaccination camps held in various phases, thousands of people from the societies received the covid vaccine and booster doses.
Present at the free polio-drop camp were D.K. Singh, H.N. Goyal, Rajeev Chatterjee, D.S. Pundir, Chetan Kumar, Vilas Munvantivar and other members.
Around 1,000 saplings were planted at 12 locations across the district, part of a drive spanning Aligarh, Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar — with school children planting alongside our volunteers.
From 20 to 23 July 2025 at Salempur on the national highway in Bulandshahr, thousands of devotees were hosted with rest, food and a doctors' team through the Sawan kavad yatra.
As every year, the foundation distributed blankets across Greater Noida from the first day of January — in jhuggi settlements, to temple priests, roadside labourers and vendors.
