Project Swachh Neighbourhood

We believe that charity begins at home. In adherence to our belief, we initiated our activities towards the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, where we took the initiative to clean our neighbourhoods.

The Project started as a cleanliness pilot campaign covering areas near our Koramangala branch in Bengaluru. The initiative was later scaled to many more locations during the FY19-20, actively involving employees and communities by cleaning 100m around the office premises in ‘The Swachh Neighbourhood project’. The objective was to build a sustainable model by educating the local community members on maintaining a clean neighbourhood.

This activity has been carried out in 269+ locations across PAN India which threw a great opportunity for volunteering engagement. About 10000+ employees participated in the events contributing to 20,000+ overall volunteering hours since FY19-20. About 3000+ saplings were planted as part of the activity.
