Bangalore, October 31, 2015: Mitsubishi Electric India took up a tree plantation drive at Peenya Metro Station in Bangalore, with an objective to contribute towards environment preservation as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. Local youth volunteers, social impact groups like Say-trees of Bangalore joined hands with employees of Mitsubishi Electric Group Companies in India for this social cause.
