Ben Line India – Empowering Communities Through CSR – 2023 – 2024

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of five impactful projects under our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program 2023-2024. At Ben Line Agencies India, we believe in adopting sustainable practices that make a positive difference in the communities we serve.

Partnering with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, we contributed to bridging the nutrition gap among school children by providing mid-day meals to students in Vizag. These meals not only bridge the nutrition gap but also enhance immunity and hygiene.

In collaboration with Bhumi, we installed R.O. water units at The Hindu Union Committee Middle School in Choolai and Panchayat Union Primary School in Ayapakkam. This initiative ensures access to clean drinking water, promoting better health and well-being among students.

Teaming up with The Akanksha Foundation, we provided digital devices to students at Natwar Nagar Public School in Mumbai. By embracing technology, we empower young minds for a digitally driven future.

Partnering with TESF, we installed insulated iron roof panels at shelters in Mandawar, offering comfort and safety to 50 + abandoned senior citizens and disabled individuals and we also facilitated the procurement of raw food material, to provide daily meals for over 1000 less privileged individuals residing in shelter homes. This project enhances living conditions and addresses hunger and promotes food security among the marginalized.

At Ben Line Agencies India, we are dedicated to creating a positive impact on society through our CSR initiatives. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners and stakeholders for their invaluable support in making these projects a reality. Together, we continue to strive for a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

Ben Line Canada – Industry Update

Ben Line Canada – Industry Update: Navigating the Aftermath of the CN/CPKC Rail Strike

In response to the recent labour disputes that culminated in a CN/CPKC rail strike and lockout, the Canadian government has stepped in to impose binding arbitration. On August 22, the Minister of Labour directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to assist in settling the disputes, ensuring that rail services across the country could resume.

As rail lines works on lifting the lockout and initiating recovery plans, we at Ben Line Agencies are closely monitoring the situation. The rail strike had a significant impact on the Port of Vancouver, where two-thirds of cargo relies on rail transport. With operations beginning to resume, we’re committed to keeping our clients informed and ensuring a smooth transition back to full service.

Our team is ready to assist with any adjustments required during this recovery phase. Please contact our team at canada.ops@benline.com
