Hero MotoCorp has announced its partnership with the Uttarakhand government. As a part, the two-wheeler maker will present 300 motorcycles and 600 helmets to the Department of Forests. It is a part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform. The name of the platform is “Hero WeCare”. Hero also delivered 300 motorcycles with all the necessary equipment for a forest guard. These include hooters, flashlights, leg guards, helmet locks, and waterproof side bags.
