As states struggle to get Covid-19 vaccines, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative has come to the aide of Dharavi residents. The area’s representatives and private players came together and got nearly 9,000 Dharavi residents vaccinated in two days. The camp’s vaccinations over three days are one-third of the total in Dharavi since March this year.

The Dharavi model was highly appreciated for containing the spread of Covid in both waves. But the response to vaccination was lukewarm and the civic body had to adopt various measures to bring citizens to vaccination centres.
