Responsibility, Our Way of Life
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.
Parry Agro primarily focus on the areas of education and healthcare as part of our CSR initiatives.
