Jio Phone was launched with the mission to provide a digital life to every Indian. In these unprecedented times of the Covid pandemic, Jio wanted to ensure that staying connected remains accessible and affordable for all customers,
especially the less-privileged sections of our society. To ensure this, Jio has announced two special initiatives for the pandemic period:
- Jio working with Reliance Foundation will provide 300 free minutes of outgoing calls per month (10 minutes per day) for the entire period of the pandemic, to JioPhone users who have not been able to recharge due to the ongoing pandemic.
- Additionally, to further enhance affordability, for every Jio Phone plan 1 recharged by Jio Phone user, they will get an additional recharge plan of the same value for free. For example, a JioPhone user recharging with Rs 75 plan, will get an additional Rs 75 plan absolutely free. Reliance is committed to standing with every Indian during these challenging times, and will continue to make every effort to enable our fellow citizens to overcome the difficulties
created by the pandemic.
The entire Reliance family has joined forces to strengthen the nation’s fight against COVID-19. With a 24×7, multi-pronged approach, Reliance promptly initiated on-the ground initiatives to ensure the nation wins the battle against COVID-19. It has worked relentlessly during the coronavirus pandemic to ease the suffering of the people of India
and help in faster recovery. Reliance is leveraging all its resources, human as well as material, to help India overcome the threat posed by the virus. Reliance Foundation has been in the forefront of the battle against Covid in India with multiple initiatives. Reliance Foundation established India’s first Covid-19 care hospital in just two weeks and has now ramped up the number of beds from 100 to 2,325 beds spread across Maharashtra and Gujarat including intensive and special care, treatment and isolation facilities.
Reliance Foundation launched Mission Anna Seva, the largest meal distribution programme undertaken by a corporate foundation anywhere in the world. Reliance Foundation is supplying grocery kits and cooked meals and bulk rations through nearly 200 partners and has so far provided over 5.5 crore meals to the under-resourced and
the frontline workers in 19 States and Union Territories. Reliance is providing free fuel to government notified vehicles and ambulances to ensure that the emergency services continue to operate in an uninterrupted manner.
Reliance is also providing over 1,000 MT of medical grade liquid oxygen across the country which is about 11% of India’s production or nearly 1 in 10 patients requiring oxygen is being supported by Reliance. In order to ease the pressure on logistics for moving the medical grade liquid oxygen, Reliance has imported 32 ISO Containers for
transporting oxygen from across the world.
