The initiative which commenced on 5th June 2021 targeted various Indian cities and was successfully culminated on 15th June 2021. The special plantation drive has been successfully organized by the alternate and emerging defence distribution channel of company in collaboration with different units of Indian Armed Forces – BSF, CISF, CRPF, SSB, BRO and MP Home Guards.
As a vocal advocate of a clean and green environment, the Company has conducted several CSR activities for women welfare, sanitation, child education and skill development in the past.
Taking this vision ahead, the Company has gone to new cities to further increase the reach of the awareness campaign with a distinct theme this year. The plantation drive that started on the World Environment Day recorded a total of 1,300 saplings planted in Delhi, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Guwahati, Amritsar and Siliguri in the last 10 days.
