Hrudayalaya, AIT decided to offer free health cards to all its
members. These cards can be distributed to all members and employees
of the organization. Member organizations can demonstrate to its
employees that they care for the well-being of their staff.”

awareness among members as well as employees, and the basic idea is
to prompt them for check-up with these cards. These cards will
