Avashya Foundation, the CSR arm of Allcargo Logistics, distributed grocery kits to families in the tribal localities in Maharashtra.
Allcargo Logistics has also been actively involved in numerous CSR initiatives to support communities and healthcare fraternity. Similarly, to join in the fight against the COVID-19, Avashya Foundation provided PPE kits to healthcare workers at Sion and Poddar Hospitals in Mumbai. Additionally, Allcargo Logistics collaborated with Khushiyaan Foundation to run community kitchens for distributing food to migrant labourers and daily-wage earners in Bhiwandi, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
As many as 380 kits which would last about a month were distributed to the families who have lost their livelihood due to the nationwide lockdown. Avashya Foundation distributed these grocery kits at Maldooge group gram panchayat and Waje group gram panchayat in collaboration with Savali, an NGO working in the area of education, health, and relief.
Strictly following the social distancing norms, 80 families in Dhamni, 48 families in Chothi Dhamni, 47 families in Aaushachi wadi, 125 families in Shivansai, and 80 families in Sangatoli benefitted from the initiative. “The nationwide lockdown has severely affected the regular earnings of the people from the underprivileged sections of the society, migrant labourers and daily wage earners. In such a challenging scenario, we undertook this initiative to address the plight of the people in some tribal belts in Maharashtra who have little or no meals. We are grateful to the Sarpanch of Maldunge and Waje group gram panchayat for their support,” said Dr. Nilratan Shende – GM CSR, Allcargo Logistics Ltd.
Furthermore, Avashya Foundation as the CSR arm of the company, has been continuously working in Dhamni village in the Maldunge group gram panchayat in Panvel block – Raigad district since 2019 to set up a holistic village development model for the betterment of the locals.
