As a relief measure for theflood-devastated state of Kerala, Xiaomi has announced a programme for aid and slashed the price of repair by more than half. This is to ensure that the uninvited and unforeseen cost of repairing a smartphone damaged due to the floods does not besour fans of the company in Kerala.
As per a tweet by MD Manu Kumar Jain,all of the 27 Xiaomi service centers in the state will remain openfor owners of Xiaomi devices. Xioami will also bereducing the price of replacement parts by up to 50 percent. Additionally, the company will also belifting any service or labor chargewhich users otherwise have to pay for the repair besides the cost of the spare part.
However, there is one catch and that is that theprogram is only valid till August 31. This means that if you want to avail the benefits of this offer, you only have a week’s time.
#Kerala: we are supporting all#Xiaomimobile users:

This means that the effective benefit extended to the customer can be more than 50 percent, depending on the discount on the spares. While other tech companies aredoing their bit in helping the people of Keralarecover from this catastrophe – such as collecting donations, accumulating relief funds, offering free pickup and drop of resources and to people etc. – Xiaomi’s endeavor is thefirst of its kind in the smartphone industry.
The gesture, not only shows Xiaomi’s empathy for the flood victims but is also exemplary of its pro-consumer stance.
While we support Xiaomi’s decision, we hope the company extends its date and other companies launch similar programs to help those who want to get back to their daily lives after the floods.
