   VCCI has also adopted 11 Aanganwadi’s of Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan located around GIDC and provides MILK to the children of Aanganwadis. These aanganwadis are located in areas where many of our workers reside and hence their children would be the beneficiaries.

   We have also provided Seva Sadan with dustbins which have been placed in the Makarpura GIDC Estate to help maintain hygiene.

   We have also supported sports and cultural events for the benefit of members of the society.
