SMFG India Credit Co. Ltd. (formerly Fullerton India Credit Co. Ltd.), one of the top NBFCs in India, held its sixth Pashu Vikas Day (PVD), the biggest one-day livestock care camp in the nation. These camps were conducted concurrently in more than 450 places throughout 15 states to offer 1 lakh livestock critical medical attention.

In India, the dairy industry directly employs over 8 crore households, with 70% of workers being women. Women in Dairy Farming was the theme of the sixth Pashu Vikas Day, which was held to honor these women’s contributions. This project embodies the ESG framework’s “Social” component, highlighting the role that gender diversity and inclusion play in promoting social upliftment.

The company serves a customer base that spans 600 towns and more than 65,000 villages throughout Pan India, and its varied staff is a key enabler. Their goal is to create an all-encompassing ecosystem that is inclusive by using loans to finance dreams and upskilling rural Indians to create better livelihoods in the places where they operate.

More than 4,000 employees nationwide actively participated in Pashu Vikas Day.

Pashu Vikas Day is a perfect example of the company’s steadfast commitment to bringing about constructive change and supporting environmentally friendly methods in the dairy industry. With the World Records Union, the company has broken the previous record for the biggest one-day cattle care camps conducted nationwide this year.
