Sanjeev Kumar, Senior Vice President, DDRWA says, "I believe that the government introduces many schemes for the welfare of society especially women but these schemes do not reach them because of lack of awareness. As a result, weaker sections of society remain troubled throughout their life. Awareness of schemes becomes important in every case, especially in the families where the earning man/male person dies."
Ravi Kumar, Hamra and Meenakshi Tyagi, Founder of Nari Pragati Social Foundation, were present. N P Singh (President), Rajiv Kumar (Advisor), and Sanjeev Kumar (Senior Vice President) from DDRWA were also present. Moreover, Eminent social workers from Noida such as Manish Gupta and Vikram Sethi also joined the camp.
