Summary

  • Sunfeast Marie Light rolled out its 'Surya Vardaan' awareness drive at Puri Rath Yatra, using a 2-minute Vitamin D requirement check to engage devotees and families.
  • Surya Sahayaks guided participants through the check, distributed educational material on deficiency, and offered select people free Vitamin D medical tests.
  • The brand also extended the campaign online through a WhatsApp-based assessment built around questions on sunlight exposure, outdoor routines and Vitamin D awareness.
  • The initiative targets a broad public-health gap in India, where Vitamin D deficiency affects millions despite abundant sunshine, while tying the campaign to Odisha's cultural link with the Sun.
