Mumbai: In a forward-thinking move to foster a sustainable and eco-friendly work environment, the Human Resources Department of Central Railway's Mumbai Division has launched an innovative program, 'Sowing Seeds of Change.' Spearheaded by Rajnish Kumar Goyal, Divisional Railway Manager, this initiative aims to bring nature into the workspace by providing employees with air-purifying plants at their desks. According to sources, the idea for 'Sowing Seeds of Change' originated from a dedicated staff member who recently completed 25 years of service and chose to remain anonymous.
The program was inaugurated with the distribution of 450 indoor plants to employees, who will now benefit from the stress-relieving and productivity-boosting effects of having greenery in their workspaces recently. The plants, selected for their minimal care requirements and air-purifying properties, align with Central Railway's commitment to environmental sustainability and employee well-being. "This initiative not only enhances the workspace but also improves air quality, reduces stress, and boosts mood and productivity," said sn official of CR during the launch event.
“It’s a step towards building a healthier work environment while contributing to environmental conservation.” The green initiative features various plant species known for their ability to filter indoor air pollutants. Plants such as the Spider Plant, Golden Pothos, and Snake Plant have been selected for their excellent air-purify.
