On a big scale, the fertilizer cooperative IFFCO has come forward to rescue the poor villages, farmers, women and others by distributing blankets to them, who are forced to sleep at night on the streets when the temperature plummets across northern India.
On a daily basis, IFFCO officials across the country are distributing thousands of blankets to the needy people. In one of the functions organized by Gazipur District Cooperative Union under the banner of IFFCO, its Chairman Vijay Shankar Rai distributed 200 blankets to the poor farmers, women and others on Wednesday.
In another function, Prakash Dalal, Agriculture Minister of Haryana gave blankets to the needy and appreciated the efforts of IFFCO by mentioning them in one of his tweets. This was organized at Loharu, Bhiwani, Haryana where more than 400 blankets were distributed among the poor and the needy people.

In West Bengal, At Gotra Cooperative, Nadia, West Bengal, blankets were distributed to the needy women farmers in the presence of Dy RCS Avijit Sarkar, RGB and IFFCO Field Officer by maintaining COVID norms in the village.
