Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, a leading provider of intelligent workplace solutions, is delighted to unveil its CSR endeavor, known as Project "NEEV," in collaboration with the Akshaya Patra Foundation. This joint venture aims to foster both environmental sustainability and child nutrition in Varanasi city.
Under this initiative, Konica Minolta is proud to sponsor two electric vehicles (EVs) for the Akshaya Patra Foundation in Varanasi. These EVs will facilitate the delivery of nutritious mid-day meals to 1,800 students attending government schools in the area, covering a total distance of 160 KM per day. This eco-conscious initiative aligns perfectly with Konica Minolta's dedication to reducing carbon emissions and building a sustainable future.
Konica Minolta's sponsorship ensures that these students receive mid-day meals for an entire year, providing them with the vital energy and nutrition needed to excel in their academic pursuits. This initiative underscores the company's firm belief in the value of education and its unwavering commitment to empowering young minds.
Commenting on the initiative, Katsuhisa Asari, Managing Director, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India said, “We are incredibly proud to partner with the Akshaya Patra Foundation on this meaningful initiative. This project embodies our core values of sustainability and social responsibility, allowing us to contribute to a healthier planet for students in Varanasi. By providing nutritious meals to students and eco-friendly EVs for food delivery, we’re not just addressing immediate needs, but also nurturing young minds and paving the way for a cleaner, brighter tomorrow.”
Remarking on the longevity of the CSR initiative, Konica Minolta’s Sustainability Promotion Department said, “Through Project NEEV, our collaboration with Akshaya Patra, we’re thrilled to address two critical needs at once: nourishing young minds in Varanasi and safeguarding our planet. Witnessing their dedication firsthand at the school visit solidified our commitment. We’re proud to support Akshaya Patra’s vital work and believe this initiative paves the way for a brighter, healthier future for both children and the environment.”
