Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) has launched a new cashless medicine purchase facility, marking a significant step toward enhancing employee healthcare support. The initiative was inaugurated by Shri S. Suresh Kumar, IAS, Chairman, DVC, in the presence of Board Members at DVC Towers. The facility enables employees to access prescribed medicines without upfront payment, ensures timely treatment, reduces paperwork through digital records, and simplifies billing through direct settlement between empanelled Frank Ross pharmacies and DVC. A total of 50 authorised outlets will provide this service, including doorstep delivery in Kolkata via WhatsApp at 91477 33373.
The scheme provides benefits to regular employees, dependents, retirees, spouses, FTEs, and casual or supply workers through cashless or discounted medicine purchases. It is also expected to lower DVC’s medical expenditure through standardised discounts on medicines and consumables. Overall, the initiative strengthens welfare measures, improves convenience, and enhances transparency and efficiency in healthcare support across the organisation.
