Beyond business
Transcending business for over 50 years now, the Group has been and continues to be involved in
meaningful welfare-driven initiatives that distinctly impact the quality of life of the weaker sections of
society in India, South-East Asia and Egypt.
In India, the Group's social projects span 2,500 villages. It reaches out to seven million people annually
through the Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, spearheaded by Mrs.
Rajashree Birla. Its focus is healthcare, education, sustainable livelihood, infrastructure and espousing
social causes.
The Group runs 42 schools, which provide quality education to over 45,000 children in India's interiors. Of
these, over 18,000 children receive free education. An additional 8,000 students receive merit
scholarships. Likewise at its 18 hospitals in India, more than a million patients are given extremely
subsidised medical care. To embed corporate social responsibility as a way of life in organisations, the
Group has set up the FICCI – Aditya Birla CSR Centre for Excellence, in Delhi.
The Group transcends the conventional barriers of business and reaches out to the marginalised because
of its conviction of bringing in a more equitable society.
