As a responsible corporate citizen, we feel we must plough back
in the society that we live in. We have set up guidelines for CSR
activities, which include elements of partnership, sustainability,
employee involvement, and scaling up of activities from the local
to the national level. There is strict adherence to government labour
legislations, and there are defined policies for occupational health
and safety, environment protection and product quality.
There is a dedicated department which overlooks the Corporate Social
Responsibility initiatives of the company. |

Adopting State Run ITI's
There is no better way to give back to the society than investing
in education. We offered to adopt four government ITI's in Gurgaon
and develop them as Centres of Excellence. The idea was to groom
young unemployed youth of the state for the automobile industry
and give them requisite exposure on our infrastructure and increase
their prospects of employability in the industry.
GUJARATI - Employment opportunities
with driver training
Recently, we also signed an MoU with Gujarat Government to set up
country's first Driving and Technical Training Institute for Tribal
Youth. We have offered to set up, manage and run The Gujarat Regional
Automobile Training Institute (to be referred as GUJRATI) at Gajadara
village of Waghodia taluka in Vadodara district. The institute will
not only provide driving training to tribal youth, it will also
offer automobile technical training to them.
Focus on Children Education
In addition, to the youth we also entered in an agreement with the
Delhi Public School and opened two schools in Gurgaon.
The first, DPS Maruti Shiksha Kendra was initiated as a dream project
to provide education to children below poverty line from nearby
villages of Gurgaon District. Around 200 students in the age group
of 4-12 years are given education here. In addition to providing
elementary education we have tried to provide compliementary books,
stationary items, uniform, healthy refreshments and transport facility
to them.
The second school, Maruti International School, was developed to
impart good quality education to employee chidren. The school runs
in two shifts and also imparts education to underprivileged children. |

Our
efforts to make our city green
The children's park at India Gate is one of the oldest parks in
Delhi. As part of our CSR initiative we offered to adopt and refurbish
this old park. Encouraged with the results of the same we also adopted
some of the round abouts in the city.Our efforts have been appreciated
by Ministry of Agriculture. |

Our next step
Soon after inaugurating our World plant at Manesar, we decided to
adopt villages surrounding Manesar. We have adopted three villages
in Manesar namely Kasan, Alihar, Dhana (all located around the Manesar
facilities)
The key areas of intervention where we feel we would be able to
add value are as follows;
|
| |
 |
Basic Infrastructure |
 |
Education |
 |
Vocational Training |
 |
Health Care |
