Projects & Initiatives
Mission Pamper
Mission Pamper by VDCF provides heartfelt support to martyrs' families, offering more than financial aid by building emotional bonds to honor their sacrifice. This includes fulfilling personal wishes, such as gifting a gold ornament to a martyr’s daughter or sister at their wedding. Acting as extended family, VDCF aims to bring comfort and reassurance, embodying a nation's gratitude and compassion.
Fruitfull Way To Biodiversity Hot-Spot
The “Fruitful Way to Biodiversity Hot-Spot” project by VDCF aims to transform part of the Mumbai-Goa Highway into a thriving ecosystem with indigenous fruiting trees. Inspired by Ahilyabai Holkar, the project collaborates with communities to enhance biodiversity, create ecological food webs, and beautify the highway parallel to the biodiverse Western Ghats.
Sashakt Beti Balshali Bharat
The “Sashakt Beti Balshali Bharat” initiative by VDCF addresses rising anemia rates among girls in India by offering Hb checkups for 8th-10th graders, focusing on early detection and dietary guidance. This pilot project introduces affordable two-stage testing and collaborates with government hospitals to improve health, promoting lifelong healthy habits essential for maternal and child well-being.
