Vizag port receives two awards

Visakhapatnam Port Authority (VPA) has been honoured with two prestigious awards at the 11th Annual Greentech CSR Awards 2025, held in New Delhi. VPA was recognized for its impactful initiatives in healthcare promotion and skill development, reaffirming its commitment to inclusive and sustainable growth.

In the healthcare category, VPA's initiatives included financial support for free evening medical clinics, assistance in constructing environmental management facilities at Lions Cancer & General Hospital, and funding midday meals for students in unaided schools. These efforts contribute to community welfare around one of India’s key shipping ports and freight handling hubs.

Under the skill development category, the port authority was lauded for empowering local youth with the training and resources needed to secure jobs at various multinational corporations. This aligns with broader goals of improving port logistics in supply chain operations by fostering a skilled workforce.

As India continues to invest in smart port and supply chain infrastructure, VPA’s CSR efforts set an example for other ports striving to balance efficiency with social responsibility. At a time when India port congestion and global trade disruptions pose challenges, forward-thinking initiatives like this help strengthen the country’s port logistics network while uplifting local communities.
