Abbott India’s Community Initiatives
Abbott is committed to supporting the communities where we live, work and do business and to helping
with relief efforts whenever natural disasters occur.
India is among the largest recipients of support from Abbott and the Abbott Fund, our philanthropic
arm. To date, grants, donations and social investments in India total nearly $13 million. Much of our
work in India focuses on expanding access to health care by meeting critical community needs:
•
Advancing disease awareness and education.
•
Training health care professionals.
•
Donating critical medicines plus other medical and nutritional products.
•
Advancing preventive health care for children.
•
Providing corrective facial surgery for children.
•
Helping children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
In an effort to help improve the health of India’s women and children, Abbott and the Abbott
Fund has formed partnerships with such trusted organizations as Operation Smile, Lifeline Express,
CARE International and Corstone.
4
We partner with:
• Lifeline Express, or Jeevan Rekha Express,a mobile diagnosis and treatment train that visits key
locations in India’s rural areas every 45 days. This program, an initiative supported by the
Government of India, is managed by the Impact India Foundation. The objective of the program is to
use India’s rail network to provide access to medical services and treatment in rural areas that
otherwise have limited access to hospitals and qualified health care workers. To date, 400,000
Indians have benefited from 93 projects.
Abbott has supported Lifeline Express since 2009, providing awareness about epilepsy and medical
education for local health practitioners and having a neurologist from the All India Institute of
Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, participate in the screenings.
•
Operation Smile, who works to repair such childhood facial deformities as cleft lip and palate.
Abbott donates the anesthesia for Operation Smile’s surgeries. In addition, the Abbott Fund
supports an initiative to train health care professionals to strengthen their emergency health care
capabilities. These training programs include advanced pediatric life support, advanced cardiac life
support and basic life support. Since 2002, more than 7,000 patients have successfully received
surgeries through Operation Smile’s medical missions in India. In addition, since 2006, 433 health
care workers have received training through the program’s life support training programs
•
CorStone’s Children’s Resiliency Program (CRP), a school-based prevention program that integrates
low cost, high impact approaches equipping students with the skills and knowledge that will
enhance their emotional resilience as assessed through improved self-esteem, academic
performance and a decrease in anxiety scores. This is of particular significance in low-income
settings, where children’s perspectives and perceptions are colored by negative experiences, such as
poor health, poverty and disenfranchisement of girls and women.
•
CARE International, to launch a new program to identify ways of developing improved social
enterprise models around health. Social enterprise models have the potential to complement the
efforts of traditional health care systems and philanthropic aid by generating innovative, costefficient and scalable solutions to increase coverage.
•
Community Outreach
Each Abbott manufacturing plant in India, and our Mumbai head office, engage in a variety of
community outreach activities. They hold regular blood donation drives in which large numbers of
employees participate. Our Mumbai and Goa employees hold free thyroid detection camps for the
benefit of employees and neighbors.Our Baddi employees have adopted three local villages that are
underserved – Bhatauli Khurd, Bhatauli Kalan and Gularwala – where we support primary health
care needs in a sustained manner. Our employees organize annual medical events for these villages,
working in partnership with corporate hospitals that bring in physicians and medical equipment.
These events offer village residents free health check-ups, basic pathology tests, prescriptions and
other treatments.

Our Baddi and Goa plants actively celebrate Safety Week and World Environment Day, using the
occasions to promote safety and environmental awareness. Both plants have initiated no-plastic
campaigns to raise awareness of large-scale use and misuse of plastics.
Last year, our Baddi employees conducted multiple community outreach activities to further
promote health, safety and environmental practices. Among these activities:
• Forming an accident assistance committeewith support from the Baddi Barotiwala Nalagarh

CSR Policy
Background
Corporate Social Responsibility at Ajanta Pharma stems from the ideology of providing sustainable value
to the society in which the company operates. While meeting the interests of our stakeholders, we
recognize the importance of contributing towards development of the underprivileged sections of the
society and are committed to execute it responsibly. Through our small contribution, we aspire to
improve the quality of life of the weaker sections in the society by making available some basic
necessities which are not easily accessible and/or available to them.
The Policy
The programs under Ajanta’s CSR policy primarily rest on 4 broad categories: Healthcare, Education,
Community Development and Ecology. These programs are aimed at long-term sustainability and
inclusive development. With special emphasis on areas around Company’s operational locations, the
programs are designed and implemented taking into consideration specific needs of each area.
1. In Healthcare, our aim is to provide medical assistance to rural underprivileged living in remote village
areas with initiatives like:
a. Free medical camps for health, eye, cataract surgeries, family welfare and related areas
b. Developing basic infrastructure around government hospitals for people visiting from remote areas
like shelter, subsidized food and similar facilities
2. In Education, our efforts concentrate on providing quality learning at affordable cost in rural areas by
aiding schools, vocational skill centers and related institutions.
3. In community development we advocate and support sustainability in rural areas giving assistance for
safe drinking water, community halls, parks, welfare of victims of natural calamities, amenities in
government hospitals, subsidized meals for needy patients & relatives, other such initiatives.
4. For maintaining a balance in the eco-system, we support and initiate programs for continual
improvement in Environment, Health and Safety standards.
5. On selective basis, we contribute to Government, voluntary organizations and academic institutes
working for any of the above cause.
Budget
Minimum of 2% of the Average Net Profit (before tax) of the preceding three years will be allocated
every financial year for CSR activities. The expenditure incurred on capacity building programs such as
training, workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. and on corporate communication strategies for
engagement of all stakeholders, whether internal or external to implement CSR of the company will be
accounted as CSR expenditure. CSR budget will be non-lapsable in nature, that is any income or surplus
arising out of CSR activity will be added to the corpus of CSR activity for the next year.
Monitoring and Review
The company Board has formed CSR Committee who will oversee the policy execution and prepare
monitoring mechanism to ensure implementation of the projects, programmes and activities proposed
to be undertaken by the Company as per the Policy.
The CSR Policy shall be periodically reviewed and appropriately revised by the CSR Committee.
7
CSR Committee
During the year, the Board constituted Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee pursuant to
Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, comprising of
Mr. Mannalal B. Agrawal, Chairman;
Mr. Yogesh M. Agrawal and
Mr. Chandrakant M. Khetan
The Committee shall formulate and recommend to the Board, a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy
indicating the amount to be incurred on the CSR activities and monitor implementation of the Policy.
CSR Initiatives
At Ajanta Pharma, we believe that contributing back to the society is not only a RESPONSIBILITY but a
COMMITMENT. Our little value addition to the betterment of society is a part of our mission, in line with
our commitment to human health. Through the years, Ajanta Pharma has strived to make the world
around it a better place. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not just an integral part of our business
but devotion; the promise of a brighter future for every life we touch.
We consider it our duty to contribute a share of our earnings towards health benefits to the less
privileged, rural welfare to make life easier for rural poor and several charitable activities to do our part
towards the welfare of society as a whole.
Eye Camps
Our CSR efforts are focused on 'how to not turn a blind eye' to a common yet growing medical concern
in India. India is home to a quarter of world’s blind with cataract being the leading cause of this
problem. Our free eye camps have helped make a very simple yet vital procedure accessible to needy
patients, averting the need for them to face a bleak yet highly preventable long-term reality - a life
without sight. We continue to conduct large eye care camps in various villages where we provide
underprivileged people with free cataract operations and eye checkups through the services of eye
specialists and surgeons. All patients undergoing eye operations are also provided with adequate postoperative care. In 2012, our dedicated team was instrumental in achieving over 11,000 cataract
surgeries successfully.
Blood Donation
With second highest population in the world, there is tremendous requirement of blood for patient
care. Unfortunately, there is an endemic shortfall of this precious item. Every year we organize a blood
donation drive at all our locations for our team members to contribute to this noble cause.
Rural Welfare
Apart from regular medical initiatives, we have also been working in the domain of rural upliftment
having built several Community halls in vicinity of several hospitals. These community halls are used by
relatives of patients admitted in the hospitals especially government run hospitals. The patients’
relatives are provided with free accommodation and subsidized meals while they are busy taking care of
8
the patient. We have also developed waiting areas in government hospitals to provide seating areas to
patients and their families.
We have also dug bore wells to help farmers in rural villages overcome water shortage problems and
avoid unhygienic water consumption. We are now undertaking activities to educate and install rain
water harvesting techniques to conserve water. Ajanta has also developed gardens and schools for
public use in rural areas.
Realizing the need to ease the adversities faced by victims of natural calamities, Ajanta Pharma has
made generous donations every time an untoward incident has taken place in India. We also send
medicines to the victims of such calamities and have been ready and willing to help in all such instances
which required our active participation at a time of crisis.

CSR Policy
Biocon’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, started in 2004, are based on the principle of making
enduring impact through programs that promote social and economic inclusion. At Biocon, CSR has been
an integral part of our business since inception. The Company is committed to innovation, affordability
and access to healthcare. In line with this commitment and as a socially responsible organization, Biocon
has, over the last 10 years, invested significantly in various CSR programs aimed at making a difference
to the lives of marginalized communities.
Our CSR Vision
o To promote social and economic inclusion by ensuring that marginalized communities have equal
access to healthcare services, educational opportunities, and proper civic infrastructure.
o To create a globally competitive Biotech ecosystem in India through skill development.
o To bridge the gap of gender disparity in education, healthcare and employment.
Our CSR Program
Biocon’s CSR activities are/will be implemented through:
•
Biocon Foundation - develops and implements healthcare, educational, and infrastructure
projects for marginalized sections of society;
•
Biocon Academy – aims to address the skill deficit in the Biotechnology sector, by developing
high-end talent through advanced learning and industrial training to make them employable
•
External Partners – with track records in the CSR area.
Biocon Foundation
Biocon Foundation’s initiatives are primarily focused on healthcare, primary education and civic
infrastructure. All projects are developed and implemented by Biocon Foundation based on need
assessment through discussions with local communities, and government departments. Project
appraisals are done periodically by combining community feedback with evaluation metrics developed
by the Foundation. These metrics include patient footfall, health indicators, feedback from teachers,
community satisfaction etc.
Health Care
The Foundation has developed an integrated and holistic healthcare delivery service, which seeks to
address critical gaps in the delivery of healthcare in rural India. Our efforts are targeted at enabling last
mile reach of preventive and primary health services in rural areas.
Our healthcare programs are delivered at three levels:
18
o Preventive Healthcare – through education to prevent onset of infectious diseases; early detection of
chronic diseases through regular community based screening; and facilitating timely help and treatment
to improve maternal and child health.
o Primary Healthcare – through the Arogya Raksha Yojana primary healthcare clinics and through health
camps, which provide a single point see-and-treat model of care aimed at reducing out-of-pocket
expenses and time spent away from work.
o Tertiary Care – through the Arogya Raksha Yojana Health Micro Insurance Scheme, which provides
cashless cover for catastrophic illness and surgeries through a network of approved hospitals.
The Foundation believes that the use of technology can make healthcare delivery in rural areas more
efficient. It has used innovative technologies to enable several initiatives in the sphere of preventive
healthcare and is also engaging with state governments to implement a novel e-Health program to
deliver Universal Health Care through government Primary Health Care Centers. Biocon intends to
replicate this PPP model in other parts of India to make a meaningful impact in healthcare delivery.
Education and Training
Biocon Foundation believes in fulfilling the ‘right to education’ by delivering quality education in
innovative ways. Education projects were developed to address the gaps in critical learning areas that
were identified in consultation with community leaders and school teachers. The Foundation aims to
empower and include underserved young people in rural areas by providing them access to experiential
learning in basic maths, computer skills and language skills.
Advanced Training through Biocon Academy
The Academy aims to impart advanced training to young graduates in order to provide them with the
necessary skills required for gainful employment in the Biopharma Sector. Through this initiative the
company will train up to 100 graduates in the first year (2014), and will help them to find placement at
biotech enterprises. Biocon will provide 75% of the total program fee as scholarship to all selected
candidates.
Civic Infrastructure
India is facing a big challenge in the area of infrastructure development, especially in rural areas. As a
socially responsible organization, we are working with the government to build townships, schools,
sanitation and water supply that can fulfill the basic needs of rural communities.
Biocon Foundation has:
o Adopted and rebuilt a township in North Karnataka – 400 houses and the support infrastructure
including a school, safe drinking water, health centre, and community hall have been built so far.
o Provided access to sustainable and clean sanitation facilities to rural communities –1000 household
toilets and several community toilets have been built so far.
o Provided clean drinking water and set up rain water harvesting system in villages to provide a
sustainable solution for water scarcity.
o Provided solar lights for houses in remote areas to reduce dependency on unreliable power grid.

CSR Implementation
Good health, happiness, joy, growth, togetherness, discovery, learning, exploration, evolution,
transformation, aspirations, are all intrinsically linked with life. Zydus Cadila is dedicated to all these
dimensions. Zydus Srishti, the group’s CSR programme, is about reaching out to make a difference in a
myriad ways in the areas of Health – Swaasthya, Education – Shiksha, Research – Shodh and Outreach 20
Saath. Through these initiatives, the group reaches out to the community that it forms a part of, finding
new expressions for its mission to create healthier communities globally.
Zydus Srishti has evolved from Zydus’ approach to community outreach programmes. Over the years,
the programme has come to symbolize Zydus’ own ethos of involvement, togetherness and the need to
delve into the depths of an issue rather than just skimming the expanse. What this translates into is an
employee driven volunteering effort behind all the CSR initiatives, focusing on a few issues and
plumbing the depths rather than dispersing efforts by looking at a huge canvas.
At every step, we have forged meaningful partnerships with our employees, stakeholders, partners in
progress and the community at large. Ethical practices, accountability, robust governance and
sustainable initiatives are at the very core of our business strategy, planning and operations which helps
minimise risks and seize opportunities to create value.

CSR Policy
PREAMBLE
‘Caring for Life’ has been at the forefront of Cipla’s business philosophy and remains the principal
purpose of doing business. This philosophy is seamlessly integrated into Cipla’s people, products and
processes. The initiatives taken by the Company as part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
programmes effectively contribute to developing a sustainable and resilient community.
Being a good corporate citizen is an integral part of Cipla’s core value. Over the last three decades, the
Company has carried out various CSR activities directly and through its trusts.
Making quality medicines at affordable prices has always been Cipla’s focus. The Company continues to
support several community welfare, health and educational activities, essentially in communities
surrounding the Company’s factories, both directly and through its trusts, by providing healthcare
education, improvement of community infrastructure, scholarships, etc. The Company set up the Cipla
Foundation in the year 2010 to provide care and financial support to Indians in need of healthcare and
education.
The Cipla Palliative Care and Training Centre in Pune which was established in 1997 continues to
provide holistic care to terminally ill cancer patients and their families, free of charge. Till now, the
Centre has provided comfort and solace to over 8,500 patients. The focus of the Centre is to reach out
22
to more cancer patients in need of Palliative Care and to integrate Palliative medicine with curative
therapy.
In a humanitarian effort to support cancer patients, the Company made a breakthrough in reducing the
prices of cancer drugs, thus making world-class medicines accessible to patients in India.
Cipla also extends support to various NGO’s engaged in various social initiatives including education and
health.

CSR Initiatives
The company has been implementing social and community development projects for underprivileged
communities around its eight manufacturing sites located in six States of India – Maharashtra, Sikkim,
Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Goa and Karnataka. A cumulative population of nearly 3 lakh
disadvantaged communities is being served directly or indirectly through Cipla’s community outreach
programs.
All the eight manufacturing sites have initiated social and community development services which
include a wide spectrum of development activities. The community projects implemented in the vicinity
of the manufacturing sites are done in response to the immediate needs of the communities which are
brought forth to the notice of the Company by local stakeholders. Although, the company has not laid
down any boundary towards limiting its social commitments and thereby remains flexible in
accommodating almost all legitimate requests being made by local stakeholders, CSR initiatives in the
company, by and large, are grouped in five broader thematic areas of human development:
a. Education
b. Health & hygiene
c. Development of social infrastructure
d. Natural resource management & environment
e. Emergency response
The Company, through its Trusts/Foundations, is engaged in execution of CSR programs/activities. Cipla
Foundation is the leading social vehicle of the Company that undertakes all CSR activities/programs
being executed around company’s locations. Cipla Cancer and AIDS Foundation is another Trust of the
Company that looks after the state-of-art Cipla Palliative Care and Training Centre in Pune, a flagship
initiative of Cipla. Although the above two organizations are company’s own foundations/trusts, Cipla,
as a matter of policy, prefers to work in partnership with NGOs. A clear mandate is given thereby to its
Trusts for, as far as possible, forging partnership with NGOs in order to harness the expertise of NGOs
towards creating better impact of projects/activities. 10
The Company however, has established a division of CSR. A CSR team, headed by a senior & experienced
25
CSR professional is committed to driving the CSR agenda of the company. The CSR division of the
Company provides professional directions and expertise, and remains overall responsible for the
development of policy, strategies and action plans; implementation of programs/activities; monitoring &
assessment of CSR initiatives, and CSR reporting.
The Company, either by itself or through its foundations/trusts, has invested a total of 9.98 crores on
implementation of various corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
In the last one year, the Company offered grants to 23 NGOs, mainly engaged in education and health.
The foundation helped with the construction of an English medium school to provide education to more
than 400 children of marginalized and vulnerable communities including those living with HIV/AIDS. The
Company extended financial support to underprivileged patients, including children with Thalassemia
needing bone marrow transplants. The Company employees are encouraged to contribute to society
through a voluntary program. Last year, employees helped to rebuild a school and distribute solar
lanterns to households in the village of Papra in Uttarakhand. The Cipla Palliative Care and Training
Centre in Pune has been offering free palliative care since 1997 and has provided care to more than
8500 patients.

As a socially responsible organisation, Claris supports many initiatives impacting society at large, in
various ways of promoting and contributing to activities of sports, education, culture, etc.
Supporting Sports for a Cause
Claris has a strong belief that sports play a very important role in the development of youth and society.
Hence, your company encourages and sponsors sporting events to reinforce the sports culture in today's
youth.
For the second year in a row, Claris joined hands with The Times of India (TOI) and Ahmedabad District
Football Association to organize 'TOI-Claris Twenty20 School Soccer Tournament'. The tournament
witnessed participation from boys and girls of prominent schools of Gujarat which compiled into 48
teams. This year, girls' teams were an addition to the last year's all-boys format in the spirit of campaign
“Save The Girl Child”. The purpose of organising this tournament was fulfilled where extensive
participation from the youth of the entire state was given an opportunity to showcase their football
skills and they were given a chance to display their love for football.
Claris supported an inaugural cylcing event, Brevet de Randonneur Mondieux (BRM) in Ahmedabad.
(BRM is an international Endurance Cycling event, held in over 30 countries, and is the oldest event in
the history of Cycling). The event was organised by ‘Cyclone’, a Cycling Club in
Ahmedabad and was authorised by Audax India Randonneurs, where about 70 riders from across
Gujarat participated in various categories, including Claris members.
Extending Help to Students
Every Independence Day celebration is fulfilled with a feeling of sharing through a charity program for
Claris. This year too, your company distributed exam kit, lunch-box set, and chocolates to the students
of a school of Chancharwadi village near the manufacturing facility on the occasion of Independence
Day. Various members visited the school where they delivered speech to the students on being a
responsible citizen for nation’s growth.
The elders, villagers, and sarpanch appreciated our contribution towards the noble cause.
Motif Charity Walk
Motif organised a Charity Walk in Ahmedabad to benefit certain NGOs of the state working for social
causes. This year too, your company was one of the associate sponsors for the campaign, where some of
the Claris members participated in the walk.
Supporting AJTET for Traffic Regulation
Looking at the current state of traffic in the city, Ahmedabad Jilla Traffic Education Trust (AJTET) initiated
a cause to support police in controlling & managing traffic, creating awareness among public about the
27
traffic rules, and bringing about a culture of order & road discipline. Claris supported the cause by
contributing funds and participating in their initiatives. Claris was appreciated for supporting such a
noble cause.
Water Festival at Adalaj ni Vav
Encouraging the music fraternity and attempting to reintroduce the heritage monuments in the city,
Craft of Art hosted music festivals, keeping in sync with the World Heritage Week 2013. Claris sponsored
the Water Festival at heritage site Adalaj ni Vav, which witnessed renowned musicians performing and
thousands of music & art connoisseurs encouraging the moments.
Claris also supports Poiesis Achievement Foundation - a unique initiative with the vision to inspire young
children towards a life of accomplishment and help them grow into powerful and determined achievers,
and Indian Renal Foundation (IRF), a voluntary health organization dedicated to the cause of kidney
failure patients in India in its mission of prevention, treatment, education, and research in the area of

CSR Policy
Preamble
Companies need broad acceptability in the Societies where they operate if they are to sustain their long
term ability to create shareholder value. Equally important, society depends upon big business to
provide critical economic and other benefits. This relationship forms the basis of an overarching contract
between business and society. Divis believes and cares deeply in the Business-Society Ecosystem. Divi
has always adopted CSR as a key prerequisite for Sustainability. Divi’s philosophy and values have always
reflected its desire to integrate CSR into its mainstream business.
Introduction
Divi’s has four multi-purpose manufacturing facilities with all support infrastructures like utilities,
environment management and safety systems. Divi has been proactively carrying out social welfare
programs since 1995 taking into consideration the specific requirements of the region to do its bit
towards improving the lives among the communities around its manufacturing sites. Divi’s strongly
believe that Industrial Growth must contribute to the upliftment of the society around. Hence, the main
focus of CSR should be communities or villages around the manufacturing sites. The focus is also on the
rest of the sections consisting of needy and underserved.
Objective
The objective of Divi’s CSR Policy is:
• To make sure the business remains sustainable and continues to contribute to the welfare of all
stakeholders.
• To take up programmes that benefit the neighbouring communities in enhancing quality of life and
economic well-being of the local populace.
• To facilitate a holistic approach based for a sustainable improvement in the social, economic and
environmental situation of the needy and underserved.
Scope
From the annual CSR Budget allocation, a provision will be made towards expenditure, on a year on year
basis for the following programmes: i) Environmental Sustainability ii) Promoting education iii) Public
Health iv) Village Development v) Women Welfare & Economic Empowerment vi) Enhancing
Employability & Self reliance vii) Helping hand to under privileged & physically challenged viii)
Supporting Government welfare schemes ix) Drinking water schemes/ Sanitation facilities x) Providing
infrastructure facilities, civic amenities xi) Grant/ donation / sponsorship for upliftment of weaker
sections of the society xii) Animal Welfare & Dairy Development xiii) Adoption of village for providing
civic amenities and infrastructure development xiv) Relief for victims of natural calamities like earth
29
quake, cyclone, draught and flood situation in any part of the country xv) Contribution to the
government relief funds The above list is only an illustrative and activities and any other activity as
approved by CSR Committee and the Board of the company may also be considered on case by case
basis. The surplus arising out of the CSR projects or programs or activities shall not form part of the
business profit of the company.
Implementation
The investment and duration of programme will depend on its nature, extent of coverage and intended
impact of the programme. It may be ensured that majority of the CSR activities are undertaken in and
around the areas adjoining the Divis manufacturing sites. Implementation may be taken up through
designated teams of executives at the respective units of the company or at corporate level under the
programs as approved by the CSR Committee and the Board of the company. The company may also
implement the CSR schemes through a trust created either by the company or any other trust as may be
approved by the company.
The process of implementation of CSR programmes will involve identification of programmes, areas to
be covered, priority of the activities and apposite execution of programmes that would benefit the
stakeholders and community for which these are intended.
Identification of Programmes
This would involve identification of need, assessment of need, interacting with people, Local Govt/
District Administration & implementing agencies for determining the activities to be undertaken in line
with the CSR objectives ofthe company.
Areas to be covered
Initially majority of the CSR programmes/ activities identified should focus in the areas adjoining the
manufacturing sites of Divis.
Priority of activities

Equitable Development
At Dr. Reddy’s, we own social responsibilities with equal passion and professionalism.
We leverage our expertise and resources to scrutinize community needs, develop and pilot new
projects, scale them up, assess their impact and once proven successful, collaborate with the
government and various Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to roll them out.
We engage with the community at two levels: at the vicinity of campuses with the active involvement of
our employees; and at locations, where we lend support to Non-Profit Organizations, such as Dr.
Reddy’s Foundation (DRF), Naandi Foundation and the Centre for Social Initiative and Management
(CSIM). While we touch several lives in multiple ways, our focus remains on the three main life-altering
areas of Livelihoods, Education and Patient Care.
Local interventions
Uplifting the health quotient of underprivileged patients
Our patient care initiatives are geared towards making life more comfortable for patients – financially,
physically as well as emotionally. A key focus area is cancer care.
Our well-thought-out initiatives address every facet of patient care — from accessing quality
medications, emotional support, treatment interventions, awareness camps to organizing free check-up
camps.
Changing the paradigms of rural education
We work to make education more accessible for India’s rural children. We believe interventions
(Scholarships for Higher Education, Coaching camps, Distributing learning tools) can improve school
infrastructure and educational standards.
Empowering Transformations through SMTs
As India’s fi rst pharmaceutical company to implement a Self-Managed Team (SMT) initiative, we aim to
provide employment to youth from economically disadvantaged communities. The recruitment strategy
primarily focuses on rural and semi-urban areas, where employability is a challenge. These students arn,
while they learn. Our team members are encouraged to pursue higher education on the completion of
which they take on higher responsibilities and grow as professionals or entrepreneurs.
32
Dr Reddy’s Foundation , the non-profit arm of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, acts as a social change agent,
by identifying and pursuing new opportunities to serve the community in two core areas:
Livelihoods
Our livelihood programs work towards enhancing the employability of urban and rural youth.
LABS – Our Livelihood Advancement Business School programs are developed for youth between the
ages of 18 and 35, who have limited opportunities and inadequate skill sets. To enable these youth to
gain a foothold in today’s competitive job market, LABS equips them with job-specific skills, soft skills
and placement linkages. Currently, DRF operates 75 LABS centers across 19 states and has generated
over 2,92,834 livelihoods till date.
Rural Livelihoods Program – In FY2014, 7,639 farmers benefited through 5,946 substantive interventions
of this program.
LABS-PWD – Our LABS-People With Disabilities (PWD) program was successful in generating 1,610
livelihoods during the financial year.
SRI (Skilling Rural India) – Our SRI initiative helps rural youth gain skills, which translate into rural
employment generation, despite pressing problems like need for migration, poor income, isolation from
family and village life, the tribulations of adjusting to an urban way of life and the poor retention rate.
Apart from technical training, the SRI training module also comprises lifeskills training.
Education
DRF strives to provide various opportunities for learning to those who have never been to school, or
have dropped out. It also works to improve the quality of education in schools through diverse initiatives
and programs. We work with a well-woven fabric of stakeholders, communities, offi cial institutions and
schools to encompass children from all walks of life and to introduce them to mainstream education.
DRF’s education initiatives include:Education Resource Centre (ERC) | Pudami Neighbourhood Schools
and English Primaries | Kallam Anji Reddy Vidyalaya (KARV) | Special School for Homeless Children |
Kallam Anji Reddy Vocational Junior College (KAR-VJR) | Yuva Youth Learning Centres | Non-Residential
Bridge Centres (NRBCs) and Residential Bridge Centres (RBCs).
Dr. Reddy’s Foundation for Health Education (DRFHE)
DRFHE works in collaboration with the medical fraternity to facilitate an integrated multidisciplinary
approach to good health.
Education and Training Initiatives
The aim of our education and training initiatives is to bring about a transformation in patient care by
teaching as well as imparting soft skills and life skills training to healthcare stakeholders via focused
programs such as:
33
Abhilasha which trains nurses to sharpen their skills and self-confidence Sarathi which enhances skillsets of doctors’ assistant Sanjeevani which helps pharmacists improve their skills and develop empathy
towards customers Aakriti which empowers dentists to sharpen their skills Disaster Preparedness
Workshop which trains hospital staff towards efficient crisis management
Healthcare Awareness
Awareness for Life is aimed at spreading awareness about lifestyle diseases among

Rural projects
Tribal welfare projects in Peth Taluka, Nashik, Maharashtra
GSK India undertakes a number of Rural Development initiatives through its trust GRAMIN AAROGYA
VIKAS SANSTHA (GAVS), a Rural Health Development Organization. GAVS is a registered public charitable
trust established and promoted by the heritage company Glaxo India in April 1997.
Tribal population in India is over 84 million. They constitute roughly 8 percent of India's population.
Tribals are socio-economically disadvantaged and marginalized groups. Most tribes are concentrated in
heavily forested areas that combine inaccessibility with limited political or economic significance. Tribals
have been accorded special status in the constitution and there are several schemes designed for their
upliftment. However, a number of these schemes are poorly implemented and there has not been much
improvement in their status. Even today, the tribal population lags substantially behind in terms of
education and health.
When we talk of social development for Tribal population, health is a major component in it. These
tribal people live in remote villages in hilly, forested or desert areas. There are no formal education
systems, no health care centres and no proper road and means of transportation. Malnutrition is
prominent and there is no access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Thus having diseases is
inevitable and women and children being the most vulnerable suffer the most.
As a part of its Rural Tribal Development mission, GAVS collected primary data from 92 villages in Peth
Tehsil / Block near Nashik in the year 2005. Peth is the smallest Tehsil / Block in the district; it occupies
3.63% of the district. The tribal population in Nashik falls amongst the 10% of the total Tribal population
(7.4 million) in the state of Maharashtra. The research was conducted with the objective of getting
authentic, first-hand information on health and education status in the area thereby identifying the
most underserved village communities, which needed Company's support. Based on the data analysis, a
few clusters of villages were identified for providing basic healthcare facilities. The project began in the
year 2005 in partnership with Nirmaya Health Foundation in 150 villages in Peth Tehsil / Block of Nashik
District. The project runs on an objective of providing primary level curative and preventive health
services in this tribal area. Project also lays emphasis on health seeking behaviour in the areas of
Tobacco de-addiction, Nutrition, common illnesses with a special emphasis on different types of fevers
and diseases of joints, HIV/AIDS infections, skin diseases, Tuberculosis, water-borne diseases and
Respiratory Tract Infections, etc.
Mobile clinics with doctor and trained health facilitator visit 150 villages every week to provide curatives
services. Multi-specialty health camps are also organized to cater to special needs like cataract
operations, administering Tetnus injections, gynaecology related issues, haemoglobin check- up camps
etc. Training and awareness sessions are conducted in villages to mobilize people towards health and
hygiene.
36
The project has also created a cadre of Health facilitators within the communities and has formed a
referral network for admission and treatment of patients through other secondary and tertiary level
government and private Health care facilities in Nashik.
Over 1.26 lakhs villagers have benefited by this healthcare initiative directly or indirectly.
Yuva Parivartan - GSK Livelihood Training Centres: Peth Taluka, Nashik, Maharashtra
As a part of its sustainable livelihood programme, GSK through GAVS in partnership with Mumbai based
not for profit organization Kherwadi Social Welfare is also running Vocational Training centers in Peth
Taluka, Nashik since 2008. The project is undertaken with a long term objective of imparting specialized
skills and making the unemployed youths more employable / self-reliant. Training are provided in the
areas of computer literacy, tailoring, beauty, wireman/ electrician, agriculture productivity, motor
training, nursing assistance, etc. Nearly 2500 youths have been trained and a number of them are
currently gainfully employed. This initiative to a certain extent has helped in curtailing the seasonal
migration in the region.
Shelter home for children - Behraich, Uttar Pradesh
In 2008, GSK India in collaboration with Pratham, a Non Government Organization, started a Shelter
home for children under the age of 16. The program aims at preventing migration of children for work in
bigger in cities and increasing access to quality primary education for children.
The Shelter home is located in the eastern part of India at Behraich, Lucknow, which is one of the
highest child sending regions in the country. This project supports 50 children by way of providing them
education, food and shelter in addition to psycho-social support.
GSK and Pratham are also actively involved in community level intervention and advocacy initiatives on
the issue of Child labour in about 226 villages of Behraich. For advocacy, Pratham had identified two
most vulnerable blocks in the district Huzupura & Vishweshwarganj. "School Chalo Abhiyan" was
organized to enroll these out of school children and around 470 were enrolled into the formal
educational system. Besides this activity, child rights sessions were conducted in the schools. A District
Child Welfare Committee has also been established. With active participation of Government officials,
Childline 1098 and Child helpline 1077 were also initiated to protect child exploitation in any form.
Healthcare project, Institute for Indian Mother and Child, Kolkata
In 2009, GSK India extended its support to The Institute for Indian Mother & Child (IIMC) a nongovernmental voluntary organization, committed to promote child & maternal health and literacy. IIMC
runs Outdoor, Indoor & Maternity centers in remote and most backward areas of West Bengal where
people do not have access to basic healthcare and medical facilities.
This project was started with an objective of providing primary health care services to the villagers and
to support prenatal, neonatal and postnatal care for mother and child of the rural areas as they are most
vulnerable to reproductive and child health care problems. Deformities, Premature babies, malnutrition
like Kwashiorkor and Marrusmas were the common phenomena prior to the project. The project helps
37
to provide supplementary nutrition mixed diet to all pregnant, lactating and weaning mothers along
with their newborns. Create awareness amongst mothers through education and programs. It also tries
to reduce maternal mortality rate by training Traditional Birth Attendant (TBA) for safe child birth.
Through this project IIMC has been able to cover 950 villages while catering to 300 mothers and 26000
malnourished children.
Community College Program: Haryana
The Company backed one more long-term unique project to set up a community college at Naya Gaon,
Gurgaon to empower rural youths. This project was initiated in 2010 in partnership with Navjyoti India
Foundation (NIF) founded by Dr. Kiran Bedi. The objective of this community college is to provide
transformative, personal and skill based education to the marginalized and disadvantaged thereby
enhancing employability and self reliance.
Through this Community College the beneficiaries are registered to various need based as well as skill
based academic programmes of IGNOU.
GSK India supports the Community College project by providing education to 1000 rural youths to
acquire specific knowledge or skills to make them self reliant.
Residential shelter home for boys in Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Following the success of the residential shelter home in Behraich, the Company decided to support
another programme on similar lines in association with its NGO partner, Pratham in Jodhpur in the year
2010.
Jodhpur is home to a large number of street children trying to earn a living on railway stations or by
begging at tourist places. These children live in dire conditions and are often addicted to solvents. Most
of them are from Jodhpur or come from nearby states lured by the tourist city's promise.
Pratham has been working with children in the slums of Jodhpur since 2006. The program began with 10
contact centers in Jodhpur, which reached out to the working and out-of-school children. In a year's,
time all the children were mainstreamed in formal schools and that led to the establishment of
credibility among the various Government departments. The idea of setting up of a residential shelter
for boys in Jodhpur is one part of an intervention in the undeserved community.
This shelter home supported by GSK India renders residential support to nearly 50 vulnerable children
belonging to this region with the following specific objectives:
 Non formal education to help the children achieve basic competencies
 Mainstreaming the boys under 12 years of age into formal schools
 Providing the boys over 12 years of age with at least one pre-vocational skill
 Teaching basic computer literacy
 Ensuring good mental and physical health
 Conducting extracurricular activities: for attitudinal and behavioural changes
Project for early detection of Cancer with Bhakti Vedanta Hospital: Mira Road, Mumbai
As part of its effort to reach out to the needy communities, GSK supported a new project embarked by
Sri Chaitnaya Welfare Trust's Bhaktivedanta Hospital in 2010. This project envisages supporting patients
38
at the grass root level in the area of early detection and prevention of cancer. The area of focus is
primarily those where services of cancer surgeons / oncology specialists are not available. Primary
prevention, identification / treatment and education are seen as the most cost effective program, since
it aims to reduce the incidence of cancer by risk factor modification (like anti-tobacco campaign, etc).
Through this project camps are held in remote areas of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Around 80-100
patients are screened in a day at a particular camp. Overall, the trust has screened screen around 10000
patients through this initiative and the patients who need further investigation are provided treatment
at the hospital itself or are referred to other hospitals.
Under this programme, by December 2011, 190 camps were conducted where around 10000 patients
have been screened, 1849 were suspected with cancer. Out of these 1849 patients, the hospital has
operated upon 248 patients thereby helping them to cure their cancer.
Urban projects
Primary Healthcare Centre in garbage dumping ground - Deonar, Mumbai
GSK India runs a medical centre in Deonar Dumping Ground, the biggest dumping ground in Mumbai.
This center provides Primary healthcare facilities and quality health education to the children who are
rag pickers and their families who work in and around the dumping ground. This project is implemented
in collaboration with Niramaya Health Foundation. It was found that in addition to the basically
unhygienic environment, children in the age group of 5 to 14 are exposed to waste substances like used
needles, syringes, medical equipments, un-segregated garbage, etc. Due to these conditions there were
frequent injuries and long term infections like respiratory problems and skin diseases. The problems and
health issues in this area were largely neglected; hence the Company stepped in and decided to support
this cause.
With the help of Niramaya Health Foundation, GSK runs a comprehensive health care programme for
the community to improve the quality of their life. This is achieved through providing better primary
healthcare services, supplementary nutrition to curtail anemia/ nutritional deficiencies. A cadre of peer
educators has been created to conduct health sessions and awareness programmes. With GSK's support
for 3 years now, there is an overall improvement in their health status in the given unhygienic
environment. With the total beneficiaries being around 15000 the services have been of great help to
these otherwise neglected communities in Mumbai. Additionally, regular camps for immunization, eye
camps, HB estimation camps are conducted.
Rehabilitation of Paraplegic patients: Mumbai
GSK has rendered it support to Paraplegic foundation's project that works towards the rehabilitation
and self sustenance of paraplegic patients. This project provides a "Half Way Home" for paraplegic
patients discharged from hospitals but requires need based centre for total rehabilitation through
physical treatment, medicines and protein rich meals. Stay arrangements are done for both patient and
their relative.
39
The project facilitates the patient's acceptance by his family and aims at boosting his morale to face life
with self-confidence. A holistic approach in treatment and rehabilitation through spiritual, cultural and
sports activities are used to build patients self-confidence, physical and mental development. They are
given professional medical help and treatment which include physiotherapy, acupressure, acupuncture,
andrological treatment, occupational therapy.
Training in vocational skills are also provided under this project for patients after total health
rehabilitation is done. They are trained to prepare products like sanitary napkins, liquid soaps, etc. These
products are sold at 22 stalls managed by the physically challenged people at Municipal maternity
homes and hospitals. The products are carried on tricycle by rehabilitated beneficiaries. Different gift
articles for festival and special occasions are also made under this programme.
Rehabilitation of cancer patients: Mumbai
In 2011, GSK India extended its support to Indian Cancer Society's rehabilitation of cancer patient's
project. The project aims at building a sense of dignity of the patients suffering with cancer. The
rehabilitation programme takes into account the needs of a patient from the beginning of treatment
until he returns home. It offers a source of livelihood along with occupational therapy and counselling to
the cancer patients encouraging them to believe that life after cancer is normal as it can be.
Training is provided to cancer patients undergoing treatment as well to cancer survivors in various
vocational skills so as to help them lead a dignified, independent and useful life without being a burden
to their family or society. Medical aid and assistance and nutritional supplements are also provided for
regaining good health
Palliative care for critically ill cancer patients: Bangalore
In India, cancer hospitals are overcrowded and preference is given to those patients whose disease has a
scope for control and cure, either through surgery, chemotherapy or radiation or a combination of the
three. Several terminally ill cancer patients, on account of poverty, ignorance and total lack of basic
facilities, do not receive the required medical and nursing care. The very nature of the disease causes
severe pre-terminal and terminal pain and unless the required dosages of medicines are administered
continuously in the right quantities and at appropriate intervals, the quality of the remaining life of the
patient is very low.
More than 80% of patients come for treatment when the disease has spread to regional nodes or
beyond. Lack of awareness, inadequate access to proper diagnostic facilities, sub-optimal economic
conditions and fear lead to a large number of patients presenting themselves at an advanced stage of
the disease. In fact, in some ways, this stage in the life of the patient is the most critical because he is no
longer under active medical (curative) care and has been discharged from a hospital and sent home
where no facilities are available to the patient.
It is against this background GSK backed, Bangalore Hospice Trust project to provide palliative care for
critically ill cancer patients to make a positive difference in their lives in their last days.
40
Mid-day Meal project: Mumbai
GSK India has been supporting the Mid-day meal program implemented by ISKCON Food Relief
Foundation for Municipal school students since 2005. The mid-day meal program is an initiative run by
the Government of India with the dual objective of not only enhancing levels of attendance in these
schools, but also providing them with nutritious meals. This is an on-going project which currently
supports 70 schools and over 1000 students in Mumbai municipal schools. This project has visibly shown
good results in terms of increase in attendance and improvement in health standards.
Mentally challenged children: Delhi
GSK India supports Aashirwad School for mentally challenged children at Delhi.

Glenmark Foundation, the CSR arm of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, is committed towards its vision of
enriching lives to create a healthier and happier world. This is achieved through various interventions in
Child Health and Sustainable Livelihoods. Presently we have undertaken projects in Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Odisha in India and Nairobi in Kenya.
Child Health
The flagship programme of Glenmark Foundation is aimed at improving child health. The programme is
committed to the Millennium Development Goal - 4 ‘Reducing Child Mortality’ with focus on reducing
malnutrition & under nutrition, increasing immunization & sanitation.
Through our various interventions, we aim at encouraging a positive health seeking behaviour among
pregnant mothers, mothers with infants and caregivers towards right nutrition including – good hygiene
practices and ensuring complete immunization for children between the ages 0 - 5.
With the focus on creating a healthier community through our various interventions, we have provided
ambulatory care to remote forest based villages to attend children with Severe Acute Malnourishment
(SAM). We have created role model anganwadis by making them child friendly and ensuring
supplementary nutrition and regular immunization of the children. In order to track immunization
customised calendars are distributed to the local panchayat members, anganwadi workers and helpers.
Health camps are organized periodically with local health care departments to provide access to the
rural poor. We have initiated setting up Health Libraries in our supported communities to encourage
reading on appropriate health related practices. Behaviour change communication like wall comic
posters, focus group discussions, role plays and street plays are also employed to create awareness on
issues of child health. To ensure sustainability of the projects peer educators from within the community
are identified and trained to conduct focussed health education sessions for women. We believe in
working closely with various government machineries to optimize the impact of our work.
Through our child health project, we have been able to positively impact 100 ethnic Tribal villages in
rural Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh; 150 rural villages of Sanganer, Rajasthan; 2000 households in the
slums of Mumbai, Maharashtra; 1,50,000 rural lives in Solan, Himachal Pradesh and 10,700 households
of Kibera in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya
Impacting Lives Through Innovation
Free Mobile Voice Messaging for reaching out to the less privileged pregnant women and new mothers
In FY 2013-14, Glenmark Foundation partnered with Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital (Sion
Hospital) and NGO ARMMAN to launch mMitra, a free mobile based Health Advisory Voice Messaging
Service for pregnant women and mothers. This is a first of its kind public-private-partnership among an
NGO, a Corporate and a Government Institution, coming together for a social cause.
42
Targeted at the less privileged pregnant women and mothers, the mMitra service provides
comprehensive information on preventive care with an objective of reducing maternal and infant
mortality and morbidity. These medically verified voice messages are sent in relevant regional languages
and have been researched and developed to create the desired impact on even uneducated women
Sustainable Livelihood
Enriching lives by creating livelihood opportunities for the less privileged is also a key focus area for
Glenmark Foundation. Our Sustainable Livelihood programmes in the urban/ rural and tribal areas are
focused on helping marginalized and vulnerable sections of our population earn a secure means of
income and livelihood. Our project in Rayagada, Orissa is aimed at providing sustainable livelihoods for
around 2000 tribal families. It is aimed at improving land and water resources based on Integrated
Natural Resource Management (INRM). At Nashik we have undertaken a project to provide skill
development courses to school and college drop outs.
This year we have trained over 1000 youths in various vocational courses such as, computer basics, auto
repair, mobile repairing and assistant nursing. We have also been associated with Jaipur foot, and have
been able to rehabilitate over 2000 differently abled individuals this year.
Employee Volunteering
Our CSR efforts are supplemented further through the cooperation of our employees. This year more
than 700 Glenmakians from 16 locations in India collectively contributed over 3000 hours of community
service thus impacting over several thousand people from the less privileged sections of the society.
Environment Responsibility
Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) is an important component of our corporate responsibility. This
commitment is reflected in the Environmental, Health & Safety Policy. This policy places huge
importance on meeting (and if possible, exceeding) all applicable EHS standards and ensures that the
applicable statutory requirements are adhered to at all times.
Glenmark has special focus on conserving natural resources while manufacturing quality pharmaceutical
products. Glenmark this year has achieved zero liquid discharge projects at Goa, Nashik, Ankleshwar,
Dahej and Aurangabad plants. Specific water consumption has been reduced in this year as compared to
previous year. It ensures that the treated effluent is fully recovered and recycled back for use in the
plant’s utilities and horticulture activities. Indian operations have reduced specific effluent quantities in
2013-14 as compared to 2012-13. Ankleshwar plant has installed online monitoring system for
determining treated effluent quality round the clock to ensure compliance at all times. Ankleshwar,
Dahej and Aurangabad plants have installed state-of-the-art effluent treatment plants which comprises
of Reverse Osmosis (RO), Multi Effect Evaporators (MEE) and Agitated Thin Film Drier (ATFD) to ensure
zero discharge of liquid effluents and environmental protection.

CSR at Lupin
We believe we collectively as Corporate India have the fundamentals in place to shape a better future
for society and we must embrace this not as a responsibility but an obligation. This is what led Lupin to
set up the Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) in 1988; LHWRF was set up with the
objective of creating a replicable and ever-evolving model for sustainable rural development with the
simple goal of uplifting families.
LHWRF is focussed on building a sustainable model which would aim to improve Human Development
Indices (HDI) in its chosen geographic area of operations.
LHWRF operates in districts with a low HDI score such as Alwar, Dhaulpur, Karauli and Bharatpur in
Rajasthan; Dhule, Nandurbar, Pune and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra; Raisen in Madhya Pradesh and
Dehradun in Uttarakhand. In addition, of the ten locations where Lupin’s manufacturing plants are
located, LHWRF has initiated development work at all the locations except Jammu and Nagpur, which
will be taken up in FY 2015.
We have worked hard over the last 26 years in creating, developing, nurturing and executing programs
in partnership with the rural communities we choose to work with. We have collaborated with
numerous institutions, governments, individuals, visionaries and domain experts on multiple projects to
ensure growth and progress for the communities we serve. LHWRF reaches out to 2.8 million people,
living in 3100 villages spread across 4 states in India. We are passionate about what we have set out to
do, about transforming the rural landscape of the country; about changing the lives of the communities
we exist in and work with; we are working to create a happier more meaningful tomorrow.
LHWRF focuses on rural development programs that help promote and enable Economic Development,
Social Development, Natural Resource Management and Infrastructure Development.
Economic Development
Agriculture
The Foundation works to improve the income levels and living conditions of farmers by propagating the
introduction and use of modern agricultural equipment, crop diversification and technology infusion to
enhance farm productivity. Our intervention in agricultural sector focuses on crop diversification and
productivity enhancement.
Animal Husbandry
LHWRF focusses on improving productivity by inducting livestock of superior breeds and on breed
improvement. This is complemented by routine activities such as providing animal health services,
organising vaccination camps, ensuring fodder security and introducing advanced cattle management
and livestock productivity practices.
Rural Industries Promotion
LHWRF continues to focus on skill development for rural population, particularly youth and women
enabling them to become entrepreneurs by facilitating timely micro-finance support. In FY 2014, LHWRF
48
provided skill training to 4,478 persons and facilitated establishment of about 4,014 new selfenterprises.
Financial Inclusion
LHWRF collaborated with State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur (SBBJ) to implement an innovative
programme that enables banks to go to rural households. Initiated in FY 2013, the programme has led to
1,20,000 new accounts opened across 560 villages in 6 districts in eastern Rajasthan.
Social Development
Women Empowerment
Economic independence is critical to women, their development and empowerment in rural India. The
Foundation has focused on strengthening Self-Help Groups (SHGs) to encourage employability and
development. Linking these SHGs with financial institutions and banks ensures timely and much-needed
credit. SHG movement in adopted areas has resulted in development of leadership qualities and
economic empowerment amongst rural women.
Health
Quality and in-time health care is the most basic need in rural areas. The Foundation has made health
services available even in the most inaccessible parts. In FY 2014, about 2.5 lakh patients were treated
through medical camps and our Mobile Medical Diagnostic Unit (MMDU).
Education
LHWRF has introduced e-learning systems to make education exciting and easy for students as well as
teachers. This unique initiative has not only improved the quality of education but has also improved
retention. These school based interventions have also helped reduce dropout rates.
Natural Resource Management
Natural resource conservation is critical to the local eco-system and thereby to the rural economy.
Various NRM measures such as construction of check dams, ponds, anicuts, farm bunds and excavation
of streams are undertaken by the foundation for soil and water conservation in its adopted areas.
Infrastructure
The foundation focuses on school infrastructure, rural sanitation and housing for improving the quality
of life in its adopted areas.
Post Disaster Response in Uttarakhand
In June 2013, LHWRF adopted three districts in the state of Uttarakhand; Uttarkashi, Chamoli and
Rudraprayag which were hit badly due to the devastating floods and landslides that caused
49
unprecedented damage.

Glivec International Patient Assistance Program (GIPAP)
This program was set up by Novartis to provide access to Glivec to those patients suffering from CML or
GIST. Currently 95 per cent of patients i.e. more than 16,500 patients prescribed Glivec receive it
completely free of charge. Since inception of the programme in 2002, the company has so far
distributed Glivec valued at more than $ 1.7 billion absolutely free of charge. Novartis Comprehensive
Leprosy Care Association set up by the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development in 1989
provides patients access to treatment and disability management and facilitates physical and social care.
Novartis is committed to eliminating leprosy from the world through its donation to WHO of the drugs
required to treat leprosy. India, with 70 per cent of the world’s cases of leprosy, is the largest beneficiary
of these drugs. The generics arm of Novartis, Sandoz, sponsors two Child Support Centres and a
Vocational Training Centre as well as a Women’s Empowerment Centre near their facilities at Turbhe
and Kalwe in association with the NGO Arambh. These centres have helped children who are otherwise
used as child labour and also helped increase the employability of people from the surrounding slums.
The Indian School of Business scholarship
A yearly scholarship of Rs 12 lakhs is divided among three needy women students with excellent
academic credentials coming from middleclass backgrounds. Novartis has been doing this for the last
eight years.
Akanksha
For several years now Novartis has participated in the Standard Chartered marathon with the amount
committed to an Akanksha centre for the education and health of underprivileged children.
Garden
Novartis agreed to develop and maintain a garden on a plot of land belonging to the Nehru Centre. The
company spent INR 45 lakhs to develop the garden and is committed to maintaining it for a period of
thirty years until 2031 and thereafter on mutually agreeable terms. This has provided succour to a
greenery starved Mumbai and serves as a healthy lung to this concrete jungle.
The company believes it owes it to society to sensitise its own employees on areas related to Corporate
Social Responsibility. Novartis Community Partnership Day is a worldwide initiative aimed at helping
local communities in useful, practical ways, in social or environmental projects. It usually takes place
around 23rd April, the date of the Ciba-Sandoz merger that marked the creation of Novartis

In June 2013, Himalayan floods devoured most of the regions of the State of Uttarakhand, washing away
homes and displacing approximately 150,000 people.
The death toll due to the catastrophe reached approximately 10,000 people, as per media reports.
Uttarakhand is a tourist destination known for its scenic beauty and the revered Kedarnath temple that
attracted thousands of tourists every year, a staggering 70,000 tourists were trapped in the Himalayan
hills. The Indian government had to induct the Indian army to airlift people to safety. Damage to roads
and bridges blocked access to drinking water, primary healthcare facilities, food and clothing.
Large number of expectant mothers in the region was rendered helpless with no access to quality
healthcare facilities. The Uttarakhand floods washed away houses rendering many homeless. Overall,
healthcare rehabilitation was one of the prime needs of the extensively damaged districts within the
state of Uttarakhand. Efforts were being made to supplement the government initiatives to ensure
quality primary care to the residents of impacted region.
As the entire nation stood up in solidarity to rebuild their lives, Pfizer India colleagues also stepped
52
forward to demonstrate the “One Pfizer” spirit by supporting their fellow Indians. Pfizer India colleagues
owned and drove the clothes donation campaign at HQ in Mumbai, with the support of NGO
partner Goonj. The response was so overwhelming that colleagues across Goa and Hyderabad shipped
the clothes to the Goonj dropping centre in Mumbai.
In addition to this, approximately 700 Pfizer colleagues across India voluntarily donated a day’s basic
salary, amounting to a total of $16,000 to our NGO partner – Habitat for Humanity that will help
rebuild/restore houses of the victims.
As colleagues wondered what more they could do to help the survivors, they were heartened to learn
that Pfizer India HQ donated 3000 strips of Becousule capsules for the survivors through the NGO
AmeriCares. In addition to this, Pfizer foundation donated $25,000 to AmeriCares for the flood relief.
The separate donations will be used to provide medical assistance to the displaced families, especially
expectant mothers and children.

Prayas – Empowering doctors in rural India
Prayas is our endeavour to improve the practice of health care in rural India, by aiding speedier
diagnosis and early and efficient treatment. The programme keeps rural doctors and medical
practitioners updated about latest developments in medicine and better disease management practices.
Prayas enables primary level physicians (mentees) to receive training from Key Opinion Leaders
(mentors), thus establishing a knowledge-based link between them.
As part of Prayas, Sanofi also makes available certain medicines at subsidized rates for rural populations.
Salient features of Prayas are:
 Aims to improve healthcare in rural India by mentoring doctors in quicker diagnosis and
competent treatment of disease
 Currently has a network of 400 mentors and 5,500 mentees
 Seeks to empower at least 1,50,000 doctors across 60,000 towns and villages of India by 2015
Through Prayas, Sanofi hopes to achieve better care at the grassroots level by providing healthcare
literacy.
SITE (Screening India’s Twin Epidemic) – Studying prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in major
cities of India
India’s twin epidemic of diabetes and hypertension is a growing concern in the healthcare sector,
especially since a large number of patients with these diseases remain undiagnosed.
Sanofi conceptualised Screening India’s Twin epidemic (SITE) as a cross-sectional study to study the
prevalence of the diseases. The largest of its kind in India, the study involves more than 1,000 general
practitioners and consulting physicians across the country. Patients are surveyed at the first point of
contact—at the general practitioner or consultant physician’s level, and important parameters of
disease management such as food habits and lifestyle are evaluated.
Salient features of SITE are:
 Engages approximately 20,000 patients across 10 cities making it the largest study of its kind in
India
 The study indicates that patients need to be treated holistically, giving attention to assessing risk
factors and underlying diseases
 Assesses prevalence of obesity, truncal obesity, cardiovascular disease (IHD/MI/Stroke),
Dyslipidaemia and Microalbuminuria and other variables in the context of Diabetes and
Hypertension
 Evaluates other parameters in disease management such as food habits, lifestyle (smoking and
alcohol history), family history, demographics, etc
Saath 7 – Patient support in Disease Management
Saath 7, which means ‘together’ in Hindi, is a patient support programme across India where trained
counselors help patients understand their disease better and reach treatment goals effectively. This
54
takes place under the instruction of their treating physicians. The personal touch by the counselors
ensures that patients and their families respond appropriately to the impact of the disease on their life.
Salient features of Saath 7 are:
 Certified ‘Diabetes Counselor’ provides personalized consultation through home visits for the
first six months of treatment to patients who enroll with the programme
 Patients and their families are provided diabetes management guidance, psycho-social support,
and patient education material
 A qualified team of dieticians, physiotherapists, psychologists, and professional social workers
run the programme in 23 cities across India
 Currently engages over 57,000 patients
 Recommended by over 3,200 doctors
SAVE (Sanofi Values Environment) – Planting trees and other environmental initiatives
Under the SAVE initiative, Sanofi works towards raising awareness about protecting and enhancing the
environment. SAVE is planned as a sustained enterprise to raise environmental awareness among
employees.
Activities conducted under SAVE are:
 Doctors, who are one of our key stakeholders, are presented a potted plant with the SAVE logo
 Tree planting drives with employees—During a typical drive, employees plant saplings and learn
about planting techniques, water conservation, and related topics through the volunteers of
Hariyali, an NGO in the field of environment conservation
Employee Volunteer Groups
Helping out with time and skills at old-age homes and other institutions
Going a step beyond financial contribution, Sanofi encourages employees to engage and interact directly
with the less fortunate. This gives them an opportunity to get a personal view of the communities and
the environment in which they live and work. Employees feel a deeper sense of fulfillment, while the
communities appreciate their efforts to help them live a better life. Various corporate social initiatives
have been identified by our employees who want to give back to society and contribute in their own
way.
Some of the activities employees have chosen are:
 Visits to old-age homes
 Outings and learning sessions with differently-abled children.
 While our employees contribute to the community in myriad ways, we will continue to identify
worthwhile causes and help organisations engaged in exemplary community work across India.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Childline
Our association with CHILDLINE has been cemented since the last 3 years and in 2010 again, we
supported them by participating in ‘The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon’. This event will help
raise funds and ensure that children can look forward to a secure future. Sanofi runs that extra mile
for CHILDLINE.CHILDLINE is – quite literally – a lifeline, a 24-hour, free helpline service, for children in
distress. Operational in 67 cities in India, this project has entertained eight million calls since it was first
instituted in 1996
The AKANKSHA Foundation
It is a non-profit organization. Their mission is to improve the lives of illiterate children living in slums,
helping them hone their skills to earn a steady livelihood and improve their standard of living.
We support their centre in Khar, a suburb of Mumbai. This local project offers the CSR Volunteer group
an opportunity to engage themselves such as accompanying the children to educational centers,
celebrating festivals with them, including them in the event held for employees’ children at Head Office
and many other such programs.
The BANYAN
Our Company supports the cause undertaken by The BANYAN for rehabilitating homeless, mentally
affected women. ‘The Banyan’ has responded to the needs of over 2000 women, rehabilitating them
and restoring them to health. The institution’s major achievement is that it has helped reunite over 950
women with their families.
This year our affiliate will support the well-being of a few occupants of ‘The Banyan’ and also plan to
donate medicines and hold workshops for them.
The SAMARITAN HELP MISSION (SHM)
The poor and illiterate inhabitants of the highly populated slum in Tikiapara are deprived of basic
housing, health facilities and sanitation. Unable to even get basic medical facilities for minor ailments
and common sickness, the children, women and old people in these slums are the worst affected. Our
affiliate sponsored the development of a Medical Center that will greatly benefit the deprived slum
community residing in Tikiapara, by working with THE SAMARITAN HELP MISSION (SHM) – a
humanitarian educational institution based in the slums of Tikiapara, Howrah, West Bengal.

At Sun Pharma, we contribute to not only India’s GDP but also improve the socio-economic fabric of the
nation. The objective is to even out societal odds such as inequality, gender disparity, lack of good
healthcare facilities, etc. We design our social responsibility programs to amplify their influence, at the
same time multiplying their reach.
To make our CSR efforts more structured and expand our sphere of activities, we are in process of
formulating a comprehensive CSR policy which will provide direction to these efforts.
The activities are also dovetailed to benefit specifically the financially challenged, vulnerable and
marginalized spectrums of our society. For this, we plan and employ varied interventions, mentioned
below:
We continue to provide three of our products - Lipodox, Rivastigmine 1.5/3 mg and Prasugrel
(Platelet Inhibitor) at affordable rates to the patients in need. These are made available at a significant
discount, compared to innovator’s price. Lipodox helps in treating ovarian cancer, Rivastigmine 1.5/3 mg
is used for Alzheimer’s patients, and Prasugrel is used as a long-term therapy tablet for acute coronary
syndromes.
Financially challenged patients continue to gain our assistance in the form of free-of-cost medicines. In
the reporting period, we continued to give out free Riluzole to all patients. It is used in the treatment of
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (a life threatening disease). We have also been regularly distributing
medicines to a monastery in Sikkim. FY 2013-14 saw approximately 100 beneficiaries.
We held blood donation camps at our Jammu and Samba facilities, in which 90 employees participated.
We believe in pushing the envelope of our CSR activities and are determined to help uplift the
underprivileged, through awareness programs, infrastructure, etc.
 Facilitated a Sonography machine for the Jayaben Modi Hospital, Ankleshwar. This will benefit
more than 1,000 patients every month.

CSR Plan (FY 2014-15)
Torrent has consciously decided as a matter of policy:
1 to concentrate its efforts diligently in the areas of (i) Community Health care, Sanitation and Hygiene
(ii) Education and Knowledge Enhancement and (iii) Social Care and Concern; and
2. to confine its activities to where Torrent headquarters is situated and locations in and around its
operations so that the twin objectives of service to neighbourhood and community and participation of
employees along with necessary admin set up can be achieved.
As recommended by the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 30th July, 2014, it has been decided to undertake the
following activities for FY 2014-15 in line with its CSR Policy:
1. Paediatric Care –INR 7.50 Cr.
Torrent has been active in the Health care segment; an encouraging initiative being the setting up of the
UN Mehta Cardiology Institute and Research Centre (UNMICRC), a state of the art cardiac hospital at
Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad along with the State Government. This involved taking over the activities of
an existing civil hospital with limited freedom. Torrent,over the years has made sizeable financial
63
contribution and provided substantial inputs in terms of manpower. The financial contribution was used
for constructing a 200 bed hospital initially and also for expansion to 450 bed facility thereafter. Torrent
was involved in the project management of this initiative and its employees, as volunteers rendered
many services in its operations. Our involvement so far with UNMICRC has been very encouraging and
emotionally satisfying. Torrent had thus, experienced the advantages and limitations of governmentprivate sector partnership model, an experience which was both educative and enlightening.
Now Torrent is contemplating to undertake a pioneering initiative by establishing a landmark healthcare
institute in the area of paediatric care. Prior to finalising this discipline of paediatric care various other
disciplines were screened such as Cardiology, Diabetology, Neurology, etc. However, paediatric care was
finalised on the premise of the fact that this discipline is less intensely prevalent and offers a vast
potential for a pioneering initiative. Of course paediatric care of such type will also include prefix
services, which at bare minimumwould cover neo natal and mother’s health & hygiene. This subject
matter is under study and is likely to take a few months for finally evolving the comprehensive
integrated Project proposal alongwith proposed project outlines based on further understanding of the
subject through necessary studies and visits.
In the meantime, an allocation of INR 7.50 Crores has been made for this proposed activity for the year
FY 2014-15.
2. New building for High School at Chhapi - INR 5.65 Cr.
A new building for high school at Chhapi in the land acquired through donations from Torrent Group is
being constructed. The existing premise is inadequate to accommodate the increasing number of
students at 2,400 approximately. Also, the school is running in two shifts whereas as per the
government norm, the school should be run only in one shift.
Further, in the existing premises, no playground exists. The proposed new high school building is
expected to have 24 class rooms, science and computer lab, library, administrative block, assembly and
dining hall, kitchen area, sports complex, etc. This new building would accommodate 1500 students of
class 9-12. The construction activity of the building commenced during 2013-14 and is expected to be
completed during FY 2014-15. The overall project cost is expected to be ` 15.00 Cr. During FY 2014-15,
the Company proposes to spend approx. ` 5.65 Cr. The Company has already contributed ` 0.40 Cr. up to
31st March, 2014.
3. Shiksha Setu – INR 0.90 Cr.
The project is aimed at achieving visible improvement in the quality of primary education being
imparted to the students at the 21 identified schools in the areas of Ahmedabad, Sugen, Memadpur,
Chhapi and Indrad. The project spread over a 5-year period, would cover 4,560 students on an average
per year.
The overall achievements so far include:
• A cumulative improvement of 51% in learning of the students for the first two years.
• Positive impact of students’ attendance.
• Significant improvement in teachers’ involvement.
• Increased interactions between teachers and parents.
64
• Approx. one third teachers started taking lead as advanced trainers.
• More than 50% of teachers started using MS.
• Around 40% of teachers have started working with improved pedagogy.
• 50% schools have initiated the exchange of learning and teaching materials through social media.
• Total 537 employees volunteered in the FY 2013-14.
The overall project cost for 5 years (FY 2011-12 to FY 2015-16) is expected to be ` 8.50 Cr. During FY
2014-15 an amount of ` 0.90 Cr. is proposed to be donated by the Company. The Company had already
contributed ` 1.36 Cr. up to 31st March, 2014.
4. Baddi School – INR 0.10 Cr.:
The Company proposes to expend the amount majorly for salaries of school teachers and housekeeper `
0.04 Cr. and infrastructural & maintenance activities ` 0.05 Cr. The balance would cater to extracurricular activities for students.
5. Others – INR 0.85 Cr.:
a) Salaries of CSR Staff: Salaries paid by the Company to its regular CSR staff amounting to ` 0.75 Cr. are
factored as part of the CSR expenditure as per MCA Circular.
b) Miscellaneous Budget for routine activities – ` 0.10 Cr.
The above details are summarised in the Annexure - 1.
Thus, the total spend by the Company for FY 2014-15 would be approximately INR15 Crores (i.e. 2% of
its Average Net Profits of the Company made during the three immediately preceding financial years).

Much before Corporate Social Responsibility [CSR] had become a mandatory responsibility of
Corporates, your Company had engaged in such activities for decades for improving the health of
particularly economically backward communities like Scheduled Tribes and in the field of education.
Unichem being a pharmaceutical company, is naturally inclined to improve the health of general public
at large and the Company is well known for its Quality and Reliability for over 6 decades. As a Policy, the
Company had identified Health, particularly preventive health care for Scheduled Tribes and Education
as its main focus of CSR projects and initiatives.
The present CSR initiatives focuses on two main recognized activities mentioned in Schedule VII of the
Companies Act, 2013, namely promoting preventive health care and promoting education.
CSR Policy on Promoting Preventive Health Care
The Company is engaged in the CSR project of catering to preventive health care with special focus on
the economically backward community. Late Mr. Amrut Mody receipient of Padma Bushan along with
co-founder, Late Mr. Shantibhai Sheth established the Adiwasi Unnati Mandal (AUM) which serves to
the social needs especially of the economic backward community.
AUM caters to the medical needs of adiwasis [Scheduled Tribes] area almost 30km from Shahapur in
Thane District of Maharashtra. AUM runs three primary health centres deep inside the Adiwasi area of
Shahapur. The centres are fully equipped with medical facilities, medicines, doctors, paramedics and
volunteers. Clinical Diagnosis through OPD camps for prevention and treatment of various ailments with
particular emphasis on treating TB, Leprosy, Epilepsy, Diabetes, Cataract and Dental health care for
Scheduled Tribes. AUM arranges free cataract and other surgeries through its association with Vision
Foundation of India.
This is a continuous project/activity which started about 4 decades back and it has been continuously
monitored by the Chairman & Managing Director [CMD] of the Company Dr Prakash A Mody who visits
the centres alongwith a team of Doctors, Paramedics and Specialists on a regular basis throughout the
year. Unichem has financially aided in setting up of these centres and also provides financial aid and
66
medicines for conducting these preventive health care camps. Capital expenses for establishment of
new centres or diagnostic equipments for the existing centres were earlier being reviewed by CMD will
now be reviewed and monitored by the CSR committee from time to time.
CSR Policy on Promoting Education
Unichem is the chief donor to Amrut Mody School of Management (AMSoM) which is promoted by
Ahmedabad Education Society. AMSoM took its current shape after Ahmedabad Education Society
established Ahemdabad University, recognized by UGC as private University. It is located in Ahmedabad
and delivers business education through its three pioneer institutions. These are Postgraduate Institute
of Management [PGIM]; H.L. Institute of Commerce [HLIC]; and B.K. Majumdar Institute of Business
Administration [BKMIBA]. Each AMSoM institution has become the temple of high learning keeping in
line with the vision of Ahmedabad University. AMSoM aims at providing global education at local costs,
context and ethos. These institutions are already functional . Donations given by the Company are for
the expansion and additional capital expenditure requirements of these Institutions. Mr. Prafull
Anubhai, Independent Director on the Board of Unichem who is based in Ahmedabad monitors the
execution of the projects without interfering in the day to day running of these institutions.
Unichem, apart from the Educational grant for the aforesaid institutions also provides financial
assistance to all meritorious students who have economic need. AMSoM and its associate institutions
run independently without any interference from Unichem or its Directors. The Board had already
approved in principle to donate a sum of Rs. 15 crores in the year 2010 in all to the said Institutions to
be used for various capital expenses over a period of 5 years. Out the aforesaid sum, Rs.11 crores has
been already donated till March 31, 2014. All donations to the above said institutions which was
hitherto monitored by Chairman and Managing Director and Mr. Prafull Anubhai will now be reviewed
and monitored by the CSR Committee from time to time.
Other Endowments for Promotion of Education
Unichem has contributed 1% of its issued capital to Bombay college of Pharmacy in form of shares as
endowment. This endowment was made in the year 1985. Bombay College of Pharmacy is one of the
pioneer pharmacy colleges in the country imparting quality education and training in the field of
pharmacy over the last 50 years. The college uses the dividend earned on the shares for its institutional
requirements and the Institution is independently run without any interference from Unichem.
In adherence with the Companies Act, 2013 and as per the requirements of Section 135 of the said Act,
and Rules made thereunder, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on October 19 2013 has set up
the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. The Committee comprises of Dr. Prakash A. Mody ,
