  • Corporate Social Responsibility Committee

    Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is driven by the principles laid by the Company’s founder, late Mr. Pralhad P. Chhabria - a man who believed that one has to look for opportunities to help people even if that service demands sacrifice.

    Our endeavor to meaningfully contribute to society continues to drive us to be better. In partnership with Mukul Madhav Foundation (MMF), which has relentlessly worked on our behalf to carry out CSR activities, we have been able to help those who need us most. The Foundation has been working in the healthcare arena to provide financial assistance to patients, organize free health camps, offer infrastructure support to healthcare institutions and promote better health and hygiene practices. We also support education at all levels. Along with this, we also focus on areas like social and community welfare, Sanitation, water conservation and women empowerment. Our support is extended to frontline warriors, daily wage earners and migrant workers, the marginalized, flood victims, vulnerable children and senior citizens who are in need throughout the country.

    The Board has constituted a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee and also framed the corporate social responsibility policy.
