Free Saplings Distribution for Plantation Drive

"Our CSR activity is not just some routine thing done to meet the rules. It really makes a difference in the lives of the people", says Debjani Chatterjee, Assistant General Manager (AGM) ESG of VFS Capital, as corporate social responsibility exists in the core values of VFS Capital.

The objective of VFS Capital is to provide a holistic approach to the betterment of the marginalized population through developing socio-economic and environmental solutions. Through the community enrichment plans, VFS Capital envisions an all-inclusive development of people and the environment for a more promising, greener world for everyone.

“It feels great when you visit a village and realize that you are standing in the shade of a mango tree that you planted years ago", says Ajay Dalui, Zonal Head of VFS Capital, West Bengal. VFS Capital sensitizes plantation drives across the geographies for a green revolution and has undertaken several environmental development projects to reduce adverse impacts on the environment and instil societal sustainability.

People of the rural community inherently love trees, and VFS Capital encourages them to plant trees through free saplings distribution drive during Republic Day and Independence Day. VFS distributes saplings of several plants from fruits, vegetables and shades to make the locality greener and support the villagers in creating their own kitchen gardens.

VFS Capital ensures sustainable environmental and economic advancement of the geographies through plantation drives; purchases the saplings from the local nurseries, which are often part of its income-generating activities to empower local people. VFS Capital supports them to thrive in their entrepreneurial ventures and materializes its vision of a greener world.
