Banashree Foundation

A little late, but full of gratitude 💛

Back in December, Banashree Foundation proudly participated in Cisco’s Global Week of Giving (GWoG) for the first time ever! 🌍✨
GWoG is a quarterly initiative that’s deeply rooted in Cisco’s culture of volunteering and giving back.

As part of a pan-Cisco volunteering activity, Cisco volunteers creatively designed fridge magnets that will be:
📚 Included in students’ study kits
🎒 Used to help generate funds for procuring more study materials for children

Seeing volunteers turn creativity into impact was truly heartwarming. This experience reinforced our belief that volunteers are the heart of social change. This is one of the many meaningful engagements that took place during the Global Week of Giving !!!

Thank you to everyone who made this meaningful collaboration possible. Onward and upward! 🙌

On Dec 4, conducted the Bhoomi Pooja for our flagship Goshala project, marking the beginning of a long-cherished vision.

We were honoured by the presence of Shri M. R. Patil, Hon’ble MLA, Kundagol, and Shri Shridhar Nadgir, Regional Executive Member, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Karnataka North), along with Gram Panchayat members, village elders, office bearers, well-wishers, and Banashree volunteers from who continue to support our mission.

Though shared a little late, this moment represents a powerful step forward in our journey of service, sustainability, and community impact. 🙏

This Children’s Day, Banashree Foundation joined hands with Cisco volunteers to bring colour and joy to the Government School in Chikkanahalli, Mysuru.

From painting classrooms to distributing school bags, study kits, and greeting cards — the day was filled with smiles and meaningful interactions.

Together, we’re creating better learning spaces and supporting children in rural communities.

Day 3 🌱💚 Together we planted 200 new saplings and installed protective w**d mats around 350+ plants. Each step was a promise of a greener tomorrow and healthier farmlands.

Day 2 🌳 Our volunteers applied lime wash to over 400 trees — strengthening bark, protecting against pests, and ensuring healthier growth. A simple act, but one that safeguards our trees for years to come. ✨

We’re excited to share the journey of our 3-day CSR Plantation & Tree Care Drive in Varur, Hubli 🌱✨. In collaboration with Banashree Foundation, Cisco volunteers worked hand-in-hand with the farming community to strengthen green cover and support sustainable agriculture.

Day 1 began with support pole installation 🌳 — giving young saplings the strength and guidance they need to grow tall and thrive. 💚

This Independence Day, our hearts swelled with pride as our Cisco volunteers poured their emotions into heartfelt greeting cards for the brave men and women of our Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. 🇮🇳💌

These cards travelled miles to reach our soldiers and their families — and the smiles they carry back are priceless. ❤️

At Banashree Foundation , we feel truly honored to be the bridge between our volunteers and the guardians of our nation.

A heartfelt thank you to our Cisco family for reminding our heroes that the nation stands with them — today and always. 🙏✨

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

🇮🇳 Hearts full of pride, hands full of love!

Inspired by the spirit of freedom, 300+ Banashree volunteers came together to craft heartfelt greeting cards for our Indian soldiers, sending strength, gratitude, and smiles to those who guard our nation.

💌 Over 400 handmade cards
🙌 One powerful message — We remember. We thank. We salute.
