COVID 19 Pandemic: VisionRI employees donated one-day's salary in PM CARES Fund

The management has been proactively implementing various precautionary measures since the first week of March, 2020. Besides, the headquarter was completely closed on March 19 and all the employees were asked to ‘work from home’. Therefore, all the employees of the company at its headquarter in Sonepat and also the contractual professionals working on abroad projects are safe from COVID 19.

In light of the COVID 19 outbreak in India, the employees of prestigious global consulting firm VisionRI have voluntarily donated their one-day's salary to help the national government in fighting against the pandemic. This also includes the employees of Devdiscourse.com, the global media platform of the group. 

“The pandemic to this magnitude is unheard off. This is a time for all of us to unite for the nation as well as for the entire humanity. We are with the national government in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic and hope the relief would reach to the needy at the earliest,” said Mr. J. P. Singh, Managing Director, VisionRI. “The present crisis is multi-dimensional that has paralyzed every sector of the economy. This is high time the political leadership of the country work in synergy with professionals to handle the pandemic and help the nation to wade through the imminent economic crisis,” he added. The collection was deposited in PM CARES (Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations) Fund on April 8.

It is pertinent to mention that VisionRI management had introduced several precautionary measures among its employees much before the strict measures were announced by the Central and state governments. This includes distribution of sanitizers, masks, social distancing and enforcing travel restrictions to cities such as Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida where the COVID 19 cases were initially reported. The company is strictly following work from home since March 20, 2020. Besides, the company has taken due steps at all its projects sites in countries such as Afghanistan, Kenya, and Zambia. The precautionary guidelines have been communicated to professionals and associates engaged in consultancy projects in various African and Asian countries.
