Vanarai has undertaken sustainable village development initiative in Village Karchond near Silvassa since last four years. This project was financed by MIS Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) under the Corporate Social Responsibility Scheme. Most of the objectives of the project have been successfully achieved. Being satisfied with the achievements HUL has entered into a new agreement for further development of village Karchond, for four more years. They have also invited Vanarai to develop Village - Pati and four other villages near HUL factory at Dapada. Bombay Merchants Chamber has recognized the CSRS activity of Vanarai with HUL by awarding prestigious prize to HUL.

HUL had invited their Factory Managers from all over the country to visit development of Karchond village. The Factory Manager at Haridwar (Uttaranchal) was very much impressed and he has invited Vanarai to develop six villages around their factory at Haridwar. Shri Shriram Gomarkar, Secretary - Vanarai and Shri Prakash Jagtap Project Director visited these villages, assessed the problems of these villages, and possibility of undertaking the project. This proposal is now under consideration.
