From The
CEOs DESK
On the 69th year of independence, I would like to wish each and every ci zen of India a very happy
Independence Day. Indeed, 15th August is the occasion which is valued the most among all the
fes vals celebrated throughout the year. With so many religions, languages, tradi ons and
geographical variance it is the feeling of patrio sm that unite us. In close to seven decades of
independence, we have proved that 'unity in diversity' is possible. This day in history is a me to
remember the sacrice of our freedom ghters and celebrate the achievements of our
contemporaries, who have selessly indulged in building the India which the creators of an
independent India once dreamed of.
The biggest asset of this country are its ci zens who me and me again have provided many
glories to rejoice upon. We have le our mark in the elds of science, sports, arts, business and
literature. We have progressed in every sector from agriculture to rocket science. Today, we are
one of the fastest growing economy in the world and with the increasing number of entrepreneurs
and technological advancements, our future surely looks to be bright. But, we s ll have a long way
to go in recapturing the past glory of an India when it was once referred as the 'Golden Bird'.
While we bask in this spirit, we must also remember that the best way to celebrate freedom is by
becoming a responsible ci zen. This can only be achieved when we lend our eorts to upli the
marginalised communi es and ensure that they are given equal opportuni es to live and grow.
We must come together to create a na on that is bere of poverty, indierence and inequality.
We then would achieve freedom in the truest sense.

CSR MANDATE
THE
DEVELOPMENT
AGENDA
LIVELIHOOD
Despite the government's focus on industrialisa on, agriculture remains an overriding sector of the Indian economy, both in
terms of contribu on to gross domes c product (GDP) as well as a source of employment to millions of Indians. Over 70 per
cent of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. Agriculture, along with sheries and
forestry, accounts for one-third of the na on's GDP and is its single largest contributor.
ENVIRONMENT
Pollu on. Deforesta on. Wildlife ex nc on. The aspira ons of 1.27 billion people. These are some of the decisive concerns that
India grapples with every day. However, as India's popula on (will surpass China in 7 years) and economy con nue to grow, the
call for nding sustainable solu ons becomes more vital every day.
HEALTH
Both in terms of revenue and employment, healthcare is one of the largest sectors in India which comprises of hospitals,
medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipment. The
sector is growing at an incredible rate due to its escala on in coverage, services and increasing expenditure by public as well
private players.
EDUCATION
Educa on sector has seen a paradigm shi in the last two decades, a rac ng a lot of philanthropic ac vi es. Along with the
focus on universal educa on the higher educa on system in India has witnessed remarkable growth in the past few years.

"India is a Hindu-majority na on, but it had Abdul Kalam, a Muslim, as its president and Manmohan Singh as prime minister. "India is an
example for the world."
-Canadian Defence Minister Jason Kenney
India is not, as people keep calling it, an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly
developed one in an advanced state of decay.
-Shashi Tharoor
"India is a complex country of 1.3 billion people, 122 languages, 1600 dialects and 7 religions. Its strength lies in its unique capacity to
blend apparent contradic ons into posi ve arma ons."
-Pranab Mukherjee
"It is a great honour for me to consider India my spiritual home and like a messenger I have tried to promote the key Indian principles of
ahimsa (non-violence) and karuna (compassion) wherever I go."
-Dalai Lama
15 August
It has been 69 years, since the tri-colour was rst hoisted at the
stroke of midnight at Red Fort by Jawaharlal Nehru. It conrmed
that India was indeed free from Bri sh rule, a feat that was once
thought to be impossible. India's journey has been challenging
but the success stories are there for the world to see. From being
a na on with 90 percent poverty to becoming the third largest
economy in the world, the on-ground development has been
beyond expecta ons.
