Speaking on the occasion, Mr Abhinav John Bara, Brand Head – Réal, Dabur India Ltd., said, “Réal comes with the commitment of providing its consumers healthy happiness by offering a nutritious yet tasty choice of consumption. Keeping in tune with this core brand philosophy, we initiated the Réal ‘Dil Se Dua’ campaign during Diwali this year, wherein we went around Delhi seeking support for undernourished children. We encouraged people to sign on a pledge to support the kids and against each signature we committed to give one pack of Réal fruit beverage to a needy kid. Altogether, we have collected 24,000 such goodwill signatures from people of Delhi in just 3 days. Against the signatures collected, we have donated 24,000 packs of Réal fruit beverages, amounting to a total of 4,800 litres to Delhi Food Banking Network, who in turn would distribute these to around 2,000 underprivileged children in the city.”
