Event Overview:
Thattangulam Metro Construction Site – 20th July 2025
Don Bosco Migrant Services, in collaboration with the Don Bosco Becchi Brothers and its staff, conducted an ABHA card registration drive targeting migrant workers at the Thattangulam Metro construction area. The camp was designed to introduce underserved workers to the digital healthcare system and ensure they received their ABHA digital health IDs.
Total Registrations: 120 migrant workers
Key Outcome: Migrant workers received digital identities for healthcare access, improving their ability to receive timely, organized medical care.
URC Metro Station, Nungambakkam – 27th July 2025
Continuing its commitment to digital and healthcare inclusion, DBMS organized a combined Health & Digital Inclusion Camp at the URC Construction Metro Station in Nungambakkam. The camp focused on two key areas:
Registration for ABHA Cards, providing access to structured and portable healthcare
Onboarding onto the DBMS Mobile App, enabling access to a wide range of welfare schemes
Total Registrations: 52 migrant workers
Key Outcome: Participants became digitally connected to healthcare benefits and social support networks through real-time registration.
Impact:
Through these back-to-back camps, 172 migrant workers across two major metro construction sites were successfully brought into the fold of digital healthcare services and welfare access. This initiative demonstrates DBMS's commitment to ensuring health equity, digital inclusion, and social security for one of the most vulnerable yet vital sections of our workforce.
Acknowledgements:
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Don Bosco Becchi Brothers, URC Construction officials, and the dedicated staff and theological Brothers of DBMS for their coordination, commitment, and compassionate presence throughout the execution of both drives.
