Extending Warmth to Communities Nationwide

In its 10th edition, Gift Warmth distributed approximately 200,000 blankets across key regions, including Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, NCR, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Gujarat. The distribution at Kumbh Mela on January 23, led by Shri Nand Gopal Gupta, Uttar Pradesh’s Minister for Industrial Development, Export Promotion, NRI & Investment Promotion, helped reach the one million blanket milestone**.

Their presence highlighted the collaborative effort in providing relief to underserved communities during harsh winters.

A Decade of Impact and Growing Need

Over the past ten years, Gift Warmth has evolved into a large-scale initiative addressing the growing impact of extreme winters—worsened by climate change—on vulnerable populations. Working closely with local authorities, ReNew has ensured efficient distribution, reaching shelters, remote areas, and village-level communities most affected by cold waves.

Reflecting on this milestone, Ms. Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-founder and Chairperson of Sustainability, ReNew, stated:
“The Gift Warmth* initiative embodies ReNew’s mission to create meaningful social impact. Distributing one million blankets is a testament to our team’s dedication and the power of collaboration with local communities. It is heartening to see this effort transform into a movement of compassion, and we are committed to expanding its reach in the years to come.”

Supporting Local Economies & Strengthening Community Engagement

In addition to providing critical winter relief, Gift Warmth* supports local businesses by sourcing blankets from small-scale enterprises, fostering economic sustainability. What started as a modest initiative to prevent cold-related hardships has become a flagship community engagement program, making a lasting difference in the lives of many.
