    Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], December 07: In a bid to sensitize the local community on HIV-AIDS prevention in line with the “World AIDS Day” 2024 theme: “Take the Rights Path: My Health, My Right!”, Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, kickstarted a weeklong awareness campaign in Odisha from December 1-7.

    Commenting on the company’s health interventions, Mr. Sunil Gupta, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Vedanta Aluminium, said, “At Vedanta Aluminium, we firmly believe that the health and well-being of communities are the cornerstones of sustainable development. Our awareness campaign stands as a testament to our enduring commitment to addressing pressing health challenges and empowering communities through knowledge, care, and support.
