Avashya Foundation, the CSR arm of Allcargo Logistics, has announced that it will plant 1,02,500 trees by working with 2300 farmers in Jawahar, Mokada and Karjat – the tribal belt in Maharashtra, under its Maitree 2019-2020 initiative.

 

To set the ball rolling for Maitree 2019-2020, Avashya Foundation celebrated World Environment Day on June 5, 2019 involving over 200 farmers in that region wherein it created awareness on plantation. With this, the total count has gone up to 0.5 million trees in the last four years. The vision of Allcargo is to plant a million trees by 2021.
