Astral Foundation honours Padma Shri Awardee Shyam Sunder through short film

Astral, through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm Astral Foundation, announced the release of a short film in commemoration of International Day of the Girl Child.

Additionally, Astral Foundation has proudly planted 5,000 trees to mark the birth of 42 precious daughters in the village of Piplantri on the occasion of International Day of the Girl Child.

Kairav Engineer, Director, Astral, said, “We're honoured to join Padma Shri Shyam Sunder Paliwal in celebrating this inspiring initiative, showcasing the power of collective action for positive change. We have supported the initiative this year by installing a 13 km pipeline and planting 5,000 trees. Join us in commemorating International Day of the Girl Child with this campaign.”
