Our company had also partnered earlier with BML Munjal Foundation and Ashoka University, to provide financial assistance to needy students in the form of scholarship for their higher education, as well as creating infrastructure for the benefit of such students.

With an objective to strengthen the school infrastructure, our company recycles the waste wood across its manufacturing plants and converts them into tables and benches which are donated in the government schools in Alwar, Neemrana and Haridwar. During the year, the company donated over 4000 sets of tables and benches.

We are also providing recycled copies to school children from the paper waste generated at our manufacturing plants.
