“Wherever there is a need we will be there”
“Wherever there is a need we will be there”, was the initial idea behind our incubation hub. We believe in holistic development since many human and environmental needs are deeply connected and interdependent. Our incubation hub gives us an opportunity to broaden our work to solve broader issues.
Any new idea is first nurtured as part of our incubation hub, piloted and then up scaled. Few of our earlier projects in the incubation hub, which is currently being successfully run include VTC, Divya Janani and Swayam Sikkim.
At the onset of the Global Pandemic, ROCF decided to stand with our distressed fellow countrymen, and actively participate in the national effort to support them at this difficult time through various National level relief work. We were also actively engaged in several initiatives for COVID Relief in the second wave of the Pandemic in India.
ROCF with support from various other NGOs and corporates conducted various N95 mask campaigns during the pandemic to ensure that frontline workers were protected. ROCF tried to ensure that the supplies of masks in large quantities reached the unreached, thereby supporting the efforts of state machinery in its efforts to curb the pandemic.
With the intent of enabling 100% COVID-19 Vaccination, ROCF with support from individual donors undertook a vaccination drive in Bangalore city of Karnataka state. It was intended to encourage unvaccinated individuals to get vaccinated- ‘By protecting yourself, you protect others’. 627 Individuals got vaccinated in the drive.

Project Smile by HP Indigo was an initiative where high quality smiling pictures of corona warriors are printed and stuck on the protective suits so that the patient and others can recognize the person easily. This simple action helped to comfort both the patents and the frontline warriors. ROCF successfully piloted this project in Jayanagar General Hospital in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Community Sensitisation on COVID-19 for General communities.
