The rose farm was one of the horticulture companies affected by the global Covid-19 lockdown, however, Ruparelia Group is one company known for motivating its staff and customers.

The donation was a charitable gesture aimed at improving the livelihoods of the farm workers and to also establish a cordial relationship between them and the two companies.
