Maruti Suzuki undertakes community development initiatives across healthcare, education

GURGAON: Under its eParivartan initiative, over 1,100 Maruti Suzuki employees volunteered time (over 2, 600 hours) and skills across 30+ community activities, ranging from health and community care to education and youth engagement, positively impacting the lives of more than 8,700 individuals.In the just concluded financial year, the employees actively participated in four blood donation drives organised across their offices and manufacturing locations. Volunteers applied their skills to assemble wheelchairs from kits provided by the auto major.The assembled units were donated to shelter homes and care centers. The volunteers further contributed by providing food, medicines, dry ration and toiletries, helping address the everyday needs of residents at shelter homes.

Additionally, they engaged with the elderly and underprivileged through structured companionship programmes, fostering care, dignity and meaningful human connection.Volunteers also initiated education and engagement with young learners from underprivileged backgrounds. A key initiative was arranging a visit to the Manesar manufacturing facility. Witnessing large-scale manufacturing and interacting with company employees helped to spark curiosities, widen perspectives and encourage the children to think more freely about learning and future possibilities.

They also connected with specially-abled children through inclusive interactions and art sessions, fostering creativity and engagement. Spending time with students with visual impairments, supporting their learning needs through meaningful interactions and the distribution of Braille kits was one such initiative.
