#HelpingTrueHeroes campaign salutes the undying spirit of India’s true heroes
The #HelpingTrueHeroes initiative was kick-started by WATConsult in partnership with TheBetterIndia (India’s no.1 Positive News Portal) on behalf of Merck’s Neurobion Forte. The campaign saluted the undying spirit of the four unsung heroes from across India and felicitated them as India’s True Heroes.
Many people in India are breaking societal grounds and fighting their personal battles of pain every day to ensure they can provide the best not only for their family but also to the society. It is this belief that we urged India to identify and help similar inspirational stories with the return of its annual initiative #HelpingTrueHeroes.
In the video series, the selfless and extraordinary efforts of these four common people were showcased in association with TheBetterIndia.
