In the wake of the Uttarakhand Disaster, CII had launched its relief and rehabilitation initiatives. Phase – 1 focused on relief and we have reached out to about 600 families spread over more than 95 villages in the impacted areas of Rudraprayag, Ukhimath, Chamoli and Augustmuni. Our focus has been to try and reach out to the most needy. The items distributed through these relief camps have been appreciated by the beneficiaries as well as the local District Administration. We are now in the process of identifying projects for Rehabilitation in close coordination with the Government of Uttarakhand.

Pithoragarh. The tradegy having struck at the time of the Char

by the calamity. More than 1 lakh people were rescued in the
ensuing rescue effort. As per official estimates as on date, 580
people have been declared dead and 5748 are missing.
In addition to the immense loss of precious lives and damage to
