The Vaibhav Group of Companies has teamed up with Akshaya Patra to promote the cause of food for education. Through their one-for-one initiative VGL will contribute towards one Akshaya Patra tasty, nutritious mid-day meal, for every item sold from VGL’s The Jewellery Channel (TJC) UK! Through this campaign TJC has already donated Rs.10 lakh to Akshaya Patra and will support the Foundation’s mid-day meals for 14,000 children for the entire year.
To kickstart this campaign the Managing Director of TJC, UK Colin Wagstaffe and other representatives toured the Akshaya Patra kitchen in Jaipur, and served food to the beneficiary students in the region.
This is yet another example for the good that can be achieved through corporates taking on an active role in addressing social issues in the country. By making this generous contribution to Akshaya Patra, VGL is contributing directly towards combating the deadly issue of classroom hunger in India.
Currently this electronic retailer of jewellery and lifestyle products is running its main manufacturing outlet in Jaipur, while running sourcing offices in China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia.
