    Under its CSR brand Parivartan, the Bank commits to growing a heritage
    forest - the “Virasati Jungle"

    focus areas under HDFC Bank Parivartan. We run plantation drives under our Go Green
    initiative across the country. We have initiated a mass plantation drive and by far planted over
    10 lakh trees under our commitment to combat climate change. In Punjab itself, we have
    planted over 38 lakh trees so far as on 30th June 2023. The plantation of “Virasati Jungle”
    contributes to the ecological well-being of the nation and will go a long way in contributing
    towards a sustainable future for the people of Punjab.”
