Kia India, one of the fastest-growing carmakers in India, is implementing its national community initiative Uphaar to create impact at grassroot levels. The initiative is aligned with Kia’s global CSR vision of a ‘clean environment’ and a ‘free and safe movement’ for building a sustainable world. Uphaar is a tree plantation programme initiated to extend support to the marginalised agrarian community and combat climate change. The project is active in Meghalaya and 14 other states of India.
Uphaar is a tree plantation programme initiated in association with Sankalptaru Foundation. The project envisions combating climate change to prevent the negative consequences on nature and humankind. By rendering support to marginalised agrarian communities, the focus is on rejuvenating the farmlands into green areas at various locations.
The plantation will not only act as a carbon sink and aid in curtailing greenhouse gases and carbon emissions but also extend support to the underprivileged farmers by bolstering their livelihood opportunities and well-being. Under this project, Kia India aims to plant 150,000 fruit tree saplings (Apple, Peach, Guava, Orange, Lime-orange, and Coconut) in the 15 states.
