The initiative aims to train in values over 200 first-generation learners from grades IInd to VIIIth, providing them with the essential tools to navigate challenges and unlock their full potential. The program will train boys and girls to ensure equal opportunities for both. In the first phase, the program is launched in two schools – Primary School Daffi and Composite Vidyalaya Naveen in Varanasi. Through the program, the students will receive an experience that will complete their education, life skill, development and nutrition requirements.
ROADIS has been running this program in Kedah in West Bengal for over 7 years. Following the positive impact, ROADIS is now expanding the program to Varanasi where it is currently constructing and operating a 192kms stretch Varanasi Aurangabad NH-2 Tollways Private Limited.
Eduardo Calvo, Global Corporate Responsibility Director-ROADIS, expressing the significance of the program said, “Sports plays an integral part in our growing up. Through this initiative, we bring an opportunity for the boys and girls of Varanasi to experience a new way of life that is full of opportunities. With the RMF program, we now complete the full circle of holistic development for children.  We are starting the RMF program in 2 schools where our Shikshantra Plus program for quality education with KHUSHI is already in effect. We believe that by equipping students with both physical and intellectual tools, we are paving the way for a generation of resilient, socially conscious, and successful individuals.”
The RMF program is a transformative initiative that leverages the power of football to instil values and foster a culture of integrity among young students, while simultaneously nurturing essential life skills and important values like respect, teamwork, autonomy, self-esteem, health, equality and motivation. To ensure international level of training for the local coaches that include both female and male educators; the trainers were trained on the Real Madrid methodology by RMF specialized football trainer who visited Varanasi for a 3-day training camp. This camp empowered the local educators to carry forward the program with the same commitment and excellence as that of RMF.
Julio González Ronco, Managing Director of the Real Madrid Foundation, adds, “Educational sports is a one of best ways to instil values of teamwork, collaboration, leadership and more. With our initiative, we envision to foster a value driven culture of diversity, inclusion and equality. Our coaches include male and female trainers and our program trains both girls and boys. Creating a platform for equal opportunity is essential for building strong individuals and a strong nation.”
Harish Gosain, Executive Director-KHUSHI, emphasizing the collaborative spirit behind the initiative said, “This partnership perfectly blends life skills and sports education. The Real Madrid Foundation’s expertise in football, combined with our deep understanding of the local community, ensures that the students receive a holistic experience. We are proud to be a part of a program that enhances athletic skills and prepares these young minds for the challenges of life.”
This program demonstrates the commitment of ROADIS in creating a positive change through innovative and inclusive education. By investing in the holistic development of the young minds, the initiative is contributing to the creation of a brighter and more equitable future.

Mangroves Initiative launched to conserve Coastal Ecosystems in Cochin
Cochin, India: DP World, a leading global provider of smart end-to-end supply chain solutions, has announced the launch of its Mangroves initiative in Ernakulam in association with Plan@Earth, a non-profit operating in the field of environmental conservation in Cochin. The project will cover a total of 50 acres of mangrove plantation and conservation area spread across 4 panchayats including Pallipuram, Kuzhipilly, Kadamakudy, and Narakkal, in Vypin, Ernakulam. These areas have been selected specifically, based on scientific studies in the indigenous communities. The project is in line with DP World’s sustainability framework of Our World, Our Future, within which oceans are one of the legacy focus areas in response to SDG 14: Life Below Water.
Through the “Mangroves initiative in Ernakulam” DP World plans to boost Cochin’s coastal ecosystems which are vital for the communities’ growth and prosperity. Mangroves have long been known for their critical role in combating climate change, offering one of the highest rates of carbon sequestration per hectare, and serving as vital buffers against coastal erosion and rising sea levels. In line with this, DP World will plant approximately 100,000 mangrove saplings in Kerala’s port city over the next three years, ensuring their long-term maintenance and survival. The company will foster community engagement in this project by implementing a shared community-oriented program. This approach will ensure a cooperative effort towards the care and maintenance of the planted mangroves.
The “Mangroves initiative in Ernakulam” by DP World was launched in the august presence of Mr. KN Unnikrishnan, Hon’ble MLA of Kerala, Vypin, along with Mr. Dipin Kayyath, Senior Director – Operations & Engineering, DP World Ports & Terminals, Cochin.
Speaking about this initiative, Mr. Praveen Joseph, CEO – DP World Ports & Terminals, Cochin, said, “Mangroves play a crucial role in mitigating climate change, protecting coastlines, and supporting biodiversity. Recognizing their immense value as natural bio-shields, the government has undertaken significant efforts to conserve and expand mangrove forests. Our mangroves initiative in Ernakulam aligns with these crucial efforts of the government and reflects our commitment to fostering a more resilient, sustainable future for the communities we serve. By engaging local communities, we aim to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the vital coastal ecosystems and their role in safeguarding the environment.”
DP World’s commitment to mangrove restoration extends beyond India.
The company is actively engaged in restoration projects around the world. For example, in Posorja’s Puná Island through the Sowing Life programme, DP World has partnered with the CALISUR Foundation to re-populate 105 hectares of wetlands with 218,000 seedlings already planted and a plan to sow a further 32,000 seedlings by 2024.
In 2023, DP World partnered with the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and became a member of the Mangrove Alliance for Climate initiative. The company will extend support to the recently launched Mangrove Breakthrough global initiative by UNGC. The global logistics company is committed to working to restore mangroves around the world in the areas where it operates – using a science and nature-based solutions in line with international frameworks and best practices.
Since its inception, DP World has conducted business operations in an eco-conscious way, assessing the impact on the environment and monitoring the waters in which they operate by using the latest technologies. The Mangrove conservation endeavor by DP World reinforces its commitment to sustainability and preservation of vital coastal ecosystems in Cochin and beyond.

Mata Amritanandamayi Math to Provide Aid for Landslide-Prone Wayanad

Mata Amritanandamayi Math to Provide Aid for Landslide-Prone Wayanad
Wayanad, India: On the occasion of the 71st birthday of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), the Mata Amritanandamayi Math (MAM) is unveiling a major disaster-relief initiative aimed at enhancing landslide resilience in Wayanad, Kerala.
This will include an aid package of Rs 15 crores to support the survivors of recent landslides and enhance landslide resilience in the region. In collaboration with its university, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, MAM will also deploy advanced landslide early warning systems in Wayanad District’s most vulnerable areas, to protect people from the growing threat of climate-change-induced disasters in the region. Work on the project is set to commence as soon as official clearance is received from the Kerala State Government.
This new initiative follows a series of devastating landslides that took place on July 30, 2024, causing widespread destruction in the villages of Punjirimattom, Mundakkai, Chooralmala and Vellarimala. The disaster – one of the deadliest in Kerala’s recent history – resulted in more than 400 fatalities and 397 injuries, with another 118 people still reported missing. Given Wayanad’s continuing vulnerability, the Math believes the programme will play a critical role in preventing future loss of life.
Speaking about the initiative, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Vice Chairman, Mata Amritanandamayi Math, said, “Amma’s approach to any situation, including disasters, is action endowed with compassion. She believes compassion is the first and last step of spirituality and life. Hence, Amma wishes that the survivors of Wayanad transcend immediate relief. It focuses on their long-term safety and sustainable well-being.
With a financial package of INR 15 crores, we aim to support recovery efforts, including implementing the Amrita Landslide Early Warning System (A-LEWS) and providing additional necessities that the community would require to build back better. The community’s specific needs, beyond what existing aid packages cover, will be identified and addressed once a thorough assessment is completed. The implementation of A-LEWS will be initiated as soon as the Kerala State Government and relevant local administration sanction the project.”
To conduct a preliminary assessment of Wayanad’s landslide disaster, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, who also serves as the university’s chancellor, sent a team of experts from Amrita to assess the impact of landslides. As instructed by the chancellor, the team also visited other landslide-prone areas in Meppadi, Pozhuthana and Vyithiri. It is based upon this team’s research that the ₹15-crore initiative has been conceived.
Soon the team will return to pinpoint the most critical areas requiring protection. These areas will be equipped with site-specific landslide early warning systems, which will provide crucial alerts about impending landslides to ensure timely evacuations and to achieve a zero-casualty vision in landslide disasters. In addition to these site-specific systems, a regional-level landslide early warning system will also be implemented, featuring a cutting-edge real-time risk-visualisation dashboard for district and state authorities to monitor real-time risk.
Dr. Maneesha V Ramesh, Provost, and Director of the Amrita Centre for Wireless Networks and Applications, stated, “Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s researchers have implemented AI-enabled Amrita Landslide Early Warning System (A-LEWS) in both Western Ghats and North Eastern Himalayas. The system has been effectively saving human life from imminent disasters from 2009 onwards by issuing real-time early warnings. Under the direction of our Chancellor, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (AMMA), we are now assessing landslide-affected areas in Wayanad to develop systems that enhance resilience and protect lives. We are deeply grateful to AMMA and the Mata Amritanandamayi Math for the opportunity to deploy A-LEWS in these highly landslide-prone regions of Wayanad, offering both regional and site-specific warnings to save lives.”
Amrita’s innovative approaches have gained international acclaim, being designated a World Center of Excellence in Landslide Risk Reduction by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) since 2017. In 2023, Amrita also received the prestigious Averted Disaster Award (ADA) for its exceptional disaster risk-management interventions, highlighting successful global programmes and policies. The Mata Amritanandamayi Math’s humanitarian efforts focus on providing food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood to those in need, with a special focus on disaster recovery. Since 2001, Amma has dedicated more than ₹700 crore to relief-andrehabilitation efforts across India, helping communities recover from the devastating effects of disasters.

Beyond the Box: Why Sustainable Gifts Are India’s New Consumer Favorite

Beyond the Box: Why Sustainable Gifts Are India’s New Consumer Favorite
As sustainable consumerism grows, India’s approach to gifting has also changed. What started as a trend has now become a necessity, with sustainable gifts rapidly gaining popularity across the country. According to the Indian Retailers Association, 68 per cent of urban consumers now consider green products important, up from 42 per cent just two years ago. Amid this green shift, leading corporate gifting organisations have quietly but consistently contributed to sustainability, working towards a greener future.
The shift in consumer attitudes has driven the rise of sustainable gifts in India. People are becoming more aware of the environment, turning green gifting into a popular trend. As of August 2024, 65 per cent of consumers in Tier-I cities prefer eco-friendly products, with 55 per cent in Tier-II cities and 45 per cent in Tier-III cities doing the same. This shows that green gifting is not just fashionable but necessary, highlighting the growing demand for sustainable products across the country.

Market Availability and Accessibility

The market expansion of eco-friendly brands has significantly increased availability, offering a wide range of options at competitive prices. Affordability has become a key factor, with 70 per cent of consumers now finding sustainable gifts within their budget. This widespread accessibility is driving the popularity of green gifting, making it a preferred choice for consumers across all city tiers.
Brands are offering eco-friendly gifts that are both beautiful and practical, focusing on reducing waste. For example, energy-efficient tech products and items that can biodegrade are leading the way in sustainable gifting. These innovations make green gifts environmentally friendly and stylish, appealing to a wide range of consumers who want items that fit into modern life while caring for the planet.
However, consumers are also smart enough to differentiate between a genuine and flimsy promise. Hence, offerings have to be trustworthy not just a mere promise on the outer side. To reduce environmental impact, almost 6 out of 10 customers are willing to change their shopping habits. But nobody is doing enough to make it happen.

Corporate Responsibility and Impact

Businesses are using sustainable corporate gifts to show their commitment to the environment and inspire change. This approach also strengthens customer loyalty, which is key to promoting eco-friendly business practices. By doing so, companies encourage other parts of the market to adopt sustainable ways of consuming goods and services.
Eco-friendly gifting has become a natural part of Indian customs, especially during festivals and celebrations. Companies are offering consumer-friendly products that are recyclable and can be personalised, adding a personal and emotional touch to the gifts.
In India you will see, many well-known gifting companies are opting to sustainability as their core value. A top-player in the corporate gifting sector has started their in-house sustainability product line and also promised 100 per cent plastic-free packaging which resulted in a two per cent growth than the expected annual growth rate. A renowned biomaterial startup, primarily a D2C platform, disclosed that demand for their sustainable gifting has quadrupled in the last 6 years in B2B segment. Another top player in D2C segment also stated that sustainable gifts have driven their festive gifting revenue last year.
While focusing on sustainability, we must be very clear that it just does not end at the point of purchasing. There also should be focus on creating circular value chains to limit waste and pollution also consumption while reusing as many raw materials as possible. Steps like these could help convert a cynical customer into a loyal one.
By choosing eco-friendly options, consumers are not only making thoughtful choices for their loved ones but also contributing to a healthier planet. Sustainable gifting is here to stay, marking a significant shift in how we celebrate and show care in our everyday lives.
