Telecom service provider Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd (SSTL) has partnered with India Unite to End Polio Now (IUEPN) campaign supported by UNICEF, for Polio Eradication Awareness campaign across five states.

These states are Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra. As the telecom partner for the campaign, MTS will be sending out specially designed SMSs to its subscribers in all the states informing them about the upcoming Polio Rounds on 04th November, 2012. The SMS would read, “November 4 Ko Apne Bachche Ka Jeevan Polio Se Surakshit Banaaye. Har Baar Polio Ki Khuraq Pilaaye”.

According to Shankar Bali, Chief Operating Officer, Delhi NCR & Haryana Circles, MTS India, “As communications partner for the program, our plan is to use the power of mobile technology to reach out to maximum number of people and notify them about getting their child secure against Polio.”
 
Under the campaign, polio booths will be set up at multiple locations across all five states to administer polio drops to children.
