Our Corporate Social Responsibility

Veerayatan’s primary school at Rudrani has been built to help the people in these areas. At present, a majority of these children are the first in their families to experience formal education. This has instilled confidence and enthusiasm in them; their parent and guardians are also happy to see their children going to school, which until a few years ago was a distant dream for them.

Who They Are

Veerayatan is a non-profit, non-governmental organization working to empower people through seva (service), shiksha (education) and sadhana (inner development). It is their endeavour to create an environment where their beneficiaries, staff and volunteers feel empowered to share and to be supported.

What They Do

Veerayatan works for the overall development of the children. Many of these children live and study full time on Veerayatan campuses regardless of caste, creed, race or religion. Many of these children are the first in their families to experience formal education. At these schools Veerayatan also focuses on vocational skills, social skills, sports and other extra-curricular activities for the children.

Why Are We Doing This

Commenting further on its participation, Mr. Satish Bakhda, Head of Operations at Rikvin said:
“We are fully behind this project because firstly, it empowers and promotes self-sufficiency among people who are underprivileged but passionate to succeed in life. Secondly, in Singapore we’ve been incredibly lucky to have the infrastructure and support required to find meaningful jobs, start up businesses and pursue our own wealth. We also understand the extent of poverty that exists in India and it is only fair that we give back. We also hope that this funding will help elevate the quality of our beneficiaries’ lives and propel them to pursue bigger dreams.”
