DLF Foundation organises 2-day long blood donation camp in Mohali

DLF Foundation, the philanthropic arm of India’s leading real estate developer DLF Ltd in collaboration with Max Healthcare organised blood donation camps at New Chandigarh and Panchkula on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day. The camps were organised at The City Club- DLF, New Chandigarh on 18th June 2022 and The Valley Club- DLF, Panchkula on 14th June. The initiative witnessed wide participation of 68 donors, residing in various parts of the city, and 68 units of blood were collected during these 2 day-long camps.

On this occasion Girish Sehgal, Senior Vice-President- Super-Luxury Operations, DLF said; “Blood donation is the most precious gift that a person can give – the gift of life. The blood banks in the country are currently facing an acute shortage, and your decision to donate blood can very well be the difference if the person survives or doesn’t. Seeing the active participation of the DLF employees and members was really heart-warming”

The theme of this year’s campaign is blood donation as an act of solidarity. It highlights the fundamental human values of altruism, respect, empathy and kindness which underline and sustain voluntary unpaid blood donation systems. We have embraced the slogan, “GBSL – Give blood. Share life”, to draw attention to the roles that voluntary donation systems play in encouraging people to care for one another and generate social ties and a united community.

Applauding the initiative, Gayatri Paul, CEO, DLF Foundation said, “Blood Donation costs nothing, but it can mean the world to someone in need. It has been observed that post Covid people are wary of donating blood, perceiving it as risky. We urge our community to come out, donate blood and save lives. Only those who have tested positive for COVID-19 and have shown symptoms of infection, must wait to donate blood until they have been symptom-free for at least 14 days.”

DLF Foundation was established in 2008 as the philanthropic arm of the DLF Group. DLF Foundation’s vision is to transform communities they work with through high-impact interventions in spheres of education, healthcare, and social sustainability with the resolve of enabling a better quality of life, backed by sustainable ecosystems for all stakeholders within the immediate and extended communities.

Tricity’s popular Dine-In restaurants begin acing the online delivery and takeaway with creative menu

Garam Dharam, Mohali and Warehouse Café have been popular among Tricity’s families and youngsters respectively due to their diverse range of cuisines and options in the menu. The spirit to delight their guests with absolute perfection and unforgettable taste, remains intact even during the lockdown days but with utmost safety and precautions. The government announced a lockdown in Chandigarh and has allowed restaurants to only function with takeaway and delivery, which puts a huge challenge on the management of the restaurant. However, the teams at Garam Dharam and Warehouse Café have been active and creative in altering their menus, and being extremely engaging on the social media platforms to provide just the right dishes for those lockdown cravings. Both the restaurants Garam Dharam and Warehouse Café, come under the hospitality wing of TDI Group- Benito Business Development Ltd. in a recently held award ceremony, HT Hall of Fame was bestowed to both places under the categories of popular family restaurant & Trending Bar & Kitchen in Tricity.

Garam Dharam inspired from the veteran actor Dharmendra is offering those relishing Indian dishes in creative meal boxes. While Warehouse Café popular for its young and energetic vibe, has rolled out deals on a variety of cuisines from Continental and Chinese, to American for deliveries and takeaway. The café has introduced Super Saver Combos just at the right time, when remote working and learning is giving people chance to satiate their cravings. The café also has a special range of menu for the health conscious section of customers, with their curated meals for Keto Diet. It is only due to their active social media presence that delivery orders have continued to remain similar to the dine-in days. Guests are actively interacting on the official social media pages of restaurants, which gives the chefs an insight of the customers’ preferences.

In these challenging times, ensuring the safety and good health of kitchen staff and other restaurant members is extremely important, and in order to keep the staff involved healthy there has been an introduction of ‘Turmeric Milk breaks’ instead of ‘Tea Breaks’ at both these restaurants. Mr. Akshay Taneja, Promoter, Benito Business Development Ltd said, “We are an employee centric company, and ensuring their safety is of utmost importance during such times when they are willing to go the extra mile to keep the business up and running with similar zest and dedication. Our aim always remains to deliver the guests a memorable experience, and we are trying to achieve it with our safe packaging and contactless delivery methods accompanied with our special food menu.”
