At Ajanta, we are committed to creating a positive impact on the world around us.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our business philosophy and reflects our dedication to the underprivileged communities. It represents our promise to build a brighter future for every life we touch. As per the company’s CSR policy, 3 major focus areas have been identified for our activities which includes healthcare, education and community development apart from other areas prescribed under the regulation.
HEALTHCARE
Our CSR efforts are focused on 'how to not turn a blind eye' to a common yet growing medical concern in India.
India is home to a quarter of world’s blind, with cataract being the leading cause of this problem. Our free eye camps have helped make a very simple yet vital procedure accessible to needy patients, averting the need for them to face a bleak yet highly preventable long-term reality - a life without sight.
Our other healthcare initiatives are mainly in the areas of family planning, preventing malnutrition among infants and mothers, assistance to differently abled people etc. These initiatives have brought positive impact to over 22 lakh beneficiaries so far.
Apart from these regular activities, Ajanta has also helped in building the basic infrastructure for healthcare by supporting charitable institutions in enhancing their patient handling capacities. Amidst the Covid crisis, Ajanta has been in the forefront with the government for providing necessary support in terms of building temporary Covid treatment centres, providing essential items likes sanitisers, masks, oxygen cylinders, and food supplies to affected families.
EDUCATION
Our education initiatives primarily focus on women empowerment.
We collaborate with schools to establish computer labs, sewing labs, tailoring, embroidery, beauty parlour and other vocational infrastructure while providing trained instructors. These efforts help women from lower income groups to gain skills that lead to financial independence.
Beyond this, we offer scholarships to deserving students recommended by reputed institutions and support the development of basic educational infrastructure in rural areas. So far, our initiatives have enabled more than 2 lakh students to benefit from digital learning programs.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We collaborate with prison authorities in building a model for improving the quality of life for prisoners.
We also support the rehabilitation of deserving individuals by facilitating bail assistance. We conduct regular medical camps in prisons to treat skin and eye diseases. So far, we have covered 45 prisons with these initiatives. Additionally, we take pride in supporting the training of Olympic and Para-Olympic athletes, contributing to their preparation and performance on national and international platforms.
