MUMBAI: The coronavirus pandemic has posed unprecedented problems. Despite the challenges of daily life in the metropolis of Mumbai, police personnel continues to work as Corona warriors tirelessly and selflessly. In a novel way to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 08, India Exim Bank felicitated policewomen of Mumbai in two events by gifting them organic honey under its initiative ‘Protect the Protectors.’
Ayurveda, the eternal science of health, regards honey as ‘amrita’ or healing nectar. Modern research has also shown honey to be possessing unique nutritional and medicinal properties. Hence, with the intention of contributing to their wellness, India Exim Bank gifted honey to nearly 900 policewomen.
For the first event on March 03, 2021, the Bank coordinated with the Office of Additional Commissioner of Police, North region, and the bottles of honey were handed over to policewomen in the presence of Mr. Dilip Sawant (IPS), ACP of the North zone. The second event was held on March 5, 2021, at the Office of Additional Commissioner of Police, West region, where Mrs. Harsha Bangari, Deputy Managing Director met the policewomen in the presence of Mr. Sandip Karnik (IPS), ACP of the West zone.
The honey was procured from Under The Mango Tree Pvt. Ltd. (UTMT), a social enterprise that is supported by the Bank under its grassroots initiatives for development. UTMT focuses on poverty reduction through training small farmers (many amongst whom are women) in tribal communities in beekeeping with indigenous bees and markets organic honey.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, India Exim Bank has taken several initiatives to support social organizations to provide relief to health and sanitation workers in Maharashtra.
