Replying to the user, Kaswan said it was nice to hear the information and asked him to keep up the good work.

A person, expressing his views, said that people would not plant the cards and keep it in holders. To drive his point home, he said that when people value a person, they also value his visiting card.
Great idea! However there is a catch. The card will mostly get into a card holder and may never get planted. When we value the person, we also value his/her visiting card. The card should ideally have a tear off section containing the seeds.

Giving a response to this user, the IFS officer said that the card does not have any details and he has not even shared his contact number. He added that it’s just given as a parting gift.
No. This has no details on it. I don’t share contact number also. That was done for this purpose only. It’s just for the person as a parting gift. And telling them that you need to plant this card at your home. The work is done.
