TRIBAL WOMEN OF RAJ UPHAAR POWER GO FIRST’S NEW IN-FLIGHT MENU
- Indulge in local and international sweets and savouries onboard
GO FIRST
(formerly known as GoAir) today introduced a range of sweets and savouries as
part of the in-flight menu in association with Raj Uphaar, an initiative by
Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (SRMD).
GO FIRST has added rice
chakri, masala wafers, almond thins and waffle chips to its in-flight menu on
the domestic and international network. These products are made by tribal women
of Raj Uphaar, a women empowerment programme of Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care, an
initiative under SRMD. This initiative is part of GO FIRST’s commitment to the
upliftment and empowerment of the marginalised sections of society.
As part of the introductory offer, GO FIRST is offering a 20% discount
for online and on-board purchases till August 31, 2021.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Kaushik Khona, Chief Executive
Officer, GO FIRST said, “We at GO FIRST have led various initiatives for
the empowerment of the marginalised sections of society. This innovative
initiative is an extension of our ongoing social programs and is aimed at
inclusiveness and empowerment of these wonderfully talented women at Raj
Uphaar. We believe that the products rank high on quality and our passengers
will love them. The facility at Dharampur maintains food hygiene standards and
the Raj Upahaar also has the FSSAI accredition for its facility and products.
We are delighted to provide support, even though small it may be for this noble
and social cause.”
Commenting on the development, Shri Atmarpit Nemiji, Trustee, Shrimad
Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, said, "Rural women have evolved and
truly benefitted from 'Raj Uphaar'. Raj Uphaar is a laboratory of innovation; a
school of learning; a space of conquering fears, building confidence,
cultivating values; and a home for holistic development."
Raj Uphaar empowers many underprivileged tribal women of South Gujarat
towards self-reliance and sustainable livelihood.
GO FIRST works extensively with various organizations and also actively
contributes to various social welfare initiatives. It recently enabled the
transportation of oxygen cylinders for COVID patients across the country.
