As part of committed efforts to create a sustainable roadmap for community empowerment, employees at the Container Freight Station (CFS) of Allcargo Logistics Ltd at Mundra, Gujarat have been initiating numerous CSR programmes since last few years.
The employees of the CFS and their wives have been actively chalking out social development programs for underprivileged populations in the local areas. A blood donation camp and tree planting drive around the area of Baroi was held by the Mundra CFS team on June 7 2018. The camp received an overwhelming response and within a record 2 hours, its intake and storage capacity was full.
With a view to promoting the cause of environmental conservation and elucidating the health benefits of a clean environment, the team planted saplings in the CFS premises on June 5. The wives of the CFS employees, nicknamed the Allcargo Queens, have partnered with an NGO to educate migrant laborers, in the hutment areas, reaching out to women and children, on issues concerning health, hygiene, sanitation and vaccination.
The team installed a RO plant at a secondary school a few years ago. The installation has helped children avail the benefits of clean drinking water and stay free from the risks posed by gall bladder and other abdominal diseases on account of total dissolved salt (TDS) found in the water a few years back.
These may seem like small initiatives but it’s said that it takes one noble thought to change the society. Here at Allcargo, we have many.
