Collaboration with the Earthworm Team: Partnering for Impact
In 2020, Indian Factory launched a ground-breaking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in partnership with the Earthworm team, selecting 22 farmers from 9 villages in Haryana for a pioneering plantation project. A total of 8500 saplings, carefully chosen for biodiversity and ecological balance, were planted, with 1500 allocated to the Indian Factory’s Dangiyawas farm. This collaborative effort involved participation from farmers, the Earthworm team, and the Indian Factory, fostering ownership and empowering farmers with sustainable land management skills.
To ensure transparency, Indian Factory implemented a QR code-based reporting system, allowing stakeholders to access comprehensive reports on the environmental impact, farmer selection process, and precise locations of sapling plantations. This innovative approach underscores Indian Factory’s commitment to CSR and ecological stewardship, empowering local communities and nurturing sustainable ecosystems.
