Social Responsibility

Being a good corporate citizen
Call it what you will, but we do realize that we need to look outside of our walls to help make the world a better place. We try to recycle mercilessly. Encourage car-pooling among staff; cycling is always good for the health. Excess fabric, waste paper patterns, printing paper, electricity, running water all try to run as efficiently as possible through our system and everyday needs. Our senior tailors guide the junior helpers by training them for about 30 minutes every day with their stitching skills. Similarly the junior helper goes through each of the departments until he/she knows what really interests them to focus in their careers. Because of the cross training, not only do the employees enhance their own skill set, but also become more empathetic towards the issues faced in a particular department. They even come up with suggestions for improvement.

We do work with Deepalaya, (www.deepalaya.org) a non - government development organization working on issues affecting the urban and rural poor, with a special focus on children. It is because 'Every child deserves a chance' that the organization exists and works towards making that possible.

For the past 30 years Deepalaya has been working in the urban slums of Delhi and has also made inroads into rural development in the states of Haryana and Uttarakhand. We work with Deepalaya in volunteering our time and also sponsoring education of children who cannot afford it. Because every child has the right to education, but often insufficient funds block a child from being educated.

Because every 10 minutes a child drops out of school in India.
We feel that even little support can go a long way in the child's future and reducing illiteracy.
