Corporates have the power to do substantial good in the world through their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programmes. Through their funding, innovation and reach, corporates can initiate far reaching reforms that are capable of even greater impact than what individuals can accomplish.
In line with this, the Vaibhav Group of companies has tried to effect positive change in the lives of underserved children in India through their one-for-one initiative. In this initiative, VGL will sponsor one Akshaya Patra mid-day meal for every item sold at The Jewellery Channel (a VGL Group company), UK. TJC has already made a contribution of Rs.10 lakh to Akshaya Patra in this initative and will continue to support mid-day meals for 14,000 Government school children for an entire year.
To flag off this undertaking, Colin Wagstaffe Managing Director of TJC UK, and other dignitaries from the company visited the Akshaya Patra Jaipur kitchen, and also helped serve food to the beneficiaries.
The electronic retailer of jewelry and lifestyle products runs its main manufacturing facility in Jaipur (India), and has sourcing offices in China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia. Through this commendable initiative, the VGL group leads by example in their wish to make the world a better place.
