Businesses Going Beyond Profits To Work For Social Welfare

Social Welfare News: Many companies and organisations in India, including Patanjali Ayurved, are going beyond their business and actively striving to improve society through their social responsibility initiatives. These institutions do not limit their profits to mere economic income, but invest them in social and environmental improvements.

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved regularly conducts free yoga camps, where millions of people learn yoga and improve their mental and physical health. In addition, Patanjali also organises free health check-up camps for social welfare and makes Ayurvedic medicines available at affordable rates.

These companies are leading in the field of social welfare

Besides Patanjali, companies like the Tata Group, Infosys Foundation, Wipro and Mahindra & Mahindra are also leaders in the field of social welfare. The Tata Trusts contribute to education, health, and rural development. It has established numerous schools and hospitals and has also worked for water conservation and agricultural improvement in rural areas.

Mahindra & Mahindra has launched an initiative called 'Nanhi Kali', which promotes girls' education. In addition, it also works for skill development and job creation in rural areas. Similarly, the Infosys Foundation works in the fields of education and health. This foundation provides financial assistance to schools and hospitals and works to improve infrastructure in rural areas. Wipro has launched the 'Wipro Earthian' initiative, which promotes environmental protection and sustainability. This initiative works for water conservation and energy saving.

Companies Spend 2% Of Profits On Social Interests

The initiatives are undertaken by the organisations under their Corporate Social Responsibility schemes. The CSR scheme was made mandatory under the 2013 Companies Act in India. According to the law, companies have to invest 2% of their profits in corporate social responsibility projects. This has encouraged Indian companies to become more active in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities.

The contribution of these organisations to social welfare plays a significant role in making India a prosperous and empowered society. These companies show that the true meaning of business success is not just profit-making, but also working for the well-being of every section of society.
