The programme will be implemented across Jhajjar district in Haryana with the objective of protecting adolescent girls from cervical cancer — a potentially life-threatening yet largely preventable disease.

As part of the initiative, girls in the age group of 9 to 14 years will receive the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which medical experts consider most effective when administered before exposure to the virus. Early immunisation significantly reduces the risk of developing cervical cancer later in life.

The project will be executed by Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust (HLFPPT) at the Primary Health Centre, Bahu. To formalise the collaboration, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was earlier signed between APCPL and HLFPPT, establishing a structured framework for implementation and outreach activities.

Prior to the rollout of vaccination, an awareness session was organised at APCPL for the daughters participating in the Girl Empowerment Mission (GEM). During the session, healthcare experts sensitised the participants about cervical cancer, its causes, preventive measures, and the importance of timely HPV vaccination.

The awareness programme aimed to dispel myths, build health awareness, and empower young girls to make informed decisions regarding their long-term well-being. The initiative reflects APCPL’s continued commitment to community health, women’s empowerment, and sustainable social development in the region.

Under the initiative, a total of 252 assistive devices were distributed among 164 pre-identified beneficiaries from various locations. The beneficiaries were shortlisted following detailed assessment camps conducted by Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO), a Government of India enterprise specializing in manufacturing and distribution of assistive aids.

The distribution ceremony was graced by Abhishek Meena, Deputy Commissioner of Rewari, as the Chief Guest. Mohammad Nizamuddin, GM (Operations & FM), APCPL, attended as the Guest of Honour. Several dignitaries and officials were also present, underscoring collective support for the initiative.

Sustained Commitment to Social Welfare

APCPL has consistently collaborated with ALIMCO over the years to extend meaningful assistance to persons with disabilities. Supporting senior citizens and Divyang individuals continues to remain a core focus area of the company’s CSR initiatives.

The event concluded on an emotional note, with visible joy and satisfaction among beneficiaries and their families. The initiative stands as a strong example of how corporate social responsibility can create tangible social impact and contribute to building a more inclusive society.
