Reliance has launched a ten-point humanitarian response in flood-hit Punjab, providing food, shelter, healthcare and livestock support. Working with local authorities, the company is delivering urgent relief in Amritsar and Sultanpur Lodhi while aiding long-term recovery.

In the wake of the devastating floods that have swept through Punjab, Reliance has activated a comprehensive ten-point humanitarian response in the state.

Working shoulder-to-shoulder with the state administration, panchayats and local stakeholders, teams have been on the ground bringing urgent relief especially across worst affected villages in Amritsar and Sultanpur Lodhi.

Anant Ambani, Director, Reliance Industries Limited. said “Our heart goes out to the people of Punjab in this hour of suffering. Families have lost homes, livelihoods, and a sense of security. The entire Reliance family is standing with them —providing food, water, shelter kits and care for both people and animals. This ten-point plan reflects our deep belief that We Care. We are committed to walk alongside Punjab through this difficult time,”.

On-ground action: Ten-point response includes:

Nutrition support

*For crucial nutrition, dry ration kits with essential food supplies for 10,000 most-affected
families.
*Voucher-based assistance worth ₹5,000 each for 1,000 of the most vulnerable
households — especially single-women and elderly-led families.
*Dry ration support for community kitchens to provide immediate nourishment for
communities.
*Deployment of portable water filters in waterlogged areas to ensure safe drinking water.

Shelter Support

*Emergency shelter kits with tarpaulins, groundsheets, mosquito nets, ropes, and bedding
to protect displaced families.

Public Health Risk Management (PHRM)

*Health awareness sessions and disinfection of water sources to curb post-flood disease
outbreaks.
*Distribution of sanitation kits with hygiene essentials for every affected household.

Livestock Support

*Veterinary surveys show livestock in severe distress due to waterlogging; urgent care is
being prioritised.
*Reliance Foundation and Vantara, with the Animal Husbandry Department, setting up
livestock camps to provide medicines, vaccines, and care. 3,000 silage bundles are being
distributed for nearly 5,000 cattle.
*Vantara’s 50+ member expert team, with modern rescue gear and years of expertise is
supporting efforts to treat rescued animals, ensuring dignified scientific cremation for
deceased animals and preventing potential disease outbreaks in coordination with local
authorities.

Reliance teams are working round-the-clock in close coordination with the District
Administrations, the Animal Husbandry Department, and local Panchayats to deliver
immediate, life-saving support while planning medium-term recovery actions.

The Jio Punjab team worked tirelessly to restore network in flood-affected areas in co-ordination with NDRF teams, ensuring 100% reliable connectivity across the state.

The Reliance Retail team in co-ordination with Reliance Foundation and volunteers is
despatching a meticulously curated dry-ration kit and sanitation kit of 21 essential items for
nourishment and hygiene of most affected communities, identified through the Panchayats.

In this moment of crisis, Reliance is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of Punjab,
with collective action, care and compassion on the ground, to enable a swift, holistic and
comprehensive recovery for the state to emerge stronger, together.
