Long before the term ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ came into being, Murugappa Group founder, Dewan Bahadur A.M. Murugappa Chettiar, had shown the way in 1924 when he introduced a series of social welfare programs. Taking forward the legacy of Dewan Murugappa Chettiar, we have centred our CSR programs on the three pillars of health-care, education and ecological sustainability. For this, we work directly with the local communities or with the support of similar organisations on health / hygiene of inhabitants around our estates or making education accessible or making the ecosystem in which we live a better place. With the framing of a CSR policy, our focus on these activities has sharpened where we undertake programmes within the framework of the policy to meet the objectives of our CSR mandate.
