- Savlon Handwash Pledge for mothers a big hit among devotees at the Ujjain Kumbh
- Savlon Mobile Ambulance on Bi-cycles took first aid to the point of need
- Brand reached and engaged more than 2 lakh individuals at the Kumbh
Savlon, India’s trusted hygiene brand from ITC, extended its recently launched hand hygiene programme to masses with encouraging outcomes at the recently concluded Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv at Ujjain. The campaign reached and engaged more than 2 lakh people at the congregation.
The hand hygiene programme aims at sensitising people that most contagious infections are preventable by adopting simple lifestyle practices like frequent washing of hands with soaps or handwashes. A national spiritual congregation at this scale was a relevant platform to communicate the importance of hand hygiene and promote cleanliness and good health. Savlon undertook a slew of initiatives to help devotees not only avoid infections by adopting handwash but also help with first aid in a first of its kind initiative designed specifically for Kumbh.
Savlon took the initiative to remind parents that their child's future was literally in their own hands “ab apkey bachon ki suraksha apke haton mein”. The brand urged them to take The Savlon Handwash Pledge – a pledge to wash their hands before touching food. A simple act that could help prevent numerous ailments. Savlon created pledge units where people would wash their hands before scanning them as a symbolic act of their commitment and gave them Savlon Suraksha Kit with Savlon products.
Hand washing before a meal has been an integral part of our culture but it is also a well-established fact that handling of food with unclean hands is one of the most common causes of infection among children and adults. A national congregation at this scale was a relevant platform to communicate the importance of hand hygiene and promote cleanliness. Savlon handwash which is effective against a wide range of germs was rightly positioned to generate awareness on hand hygiene.
In addition to the hand hygiene programme, Savlon launched an initiative of Savlon Mobile Ambulance on cycles for treating minor injuries. As Kumbh is a massive congregation, to manage crowd, movement of vehicles are restricted. Even for medical first-aid, people have to walk a distance to the nearest medical camp. Noticing this necessity for first aid closer to the ‘snan’ area, Savlon launched the mobile ambulance - The
Savlon Suraksha Dal, a team of cyclists with first aid kits. They helped more than 1500 individuals, providing first aid and information about nearby dispensaries and hospitals in case of emergencies.
