The medical camp was organized in association with an NGO called Bhubaneshwar Development & Peace Council (BDPC) to help the flood victims in Orissa. Mr. Abhijit Basu, Branch Manger, FCm (Bhubaneshwar)
In this medical camp over 300 people were served by the company. ”Our company has always been committed to providing a hands-on supportive role in the local communities where we have our branch offices. It is only because of the immense support of the local people and authorities that our Bhubaneshwar branch has flourished beyond all expectations since its launch in August’06. Now it is our turn to serve the community and organizing the medical camp was a small contribution from our organization”
The state of Orissa has still not fully recovered from the floods that hit the Mahanadi river and its tributaries in September, leaving lakhs of people homeless and a large number of villages being flushed away. According to Ms. Swarna Pattnaik, President, Bhubaneshwar Development & Peace Council, “In this crisis situation, when any kind of help and support is valued, we appreciate that corporates like FCm are coming forward and providing assistance in their own way”.
