CSR at Niwas

Corporate social responsibility is an integral part of our company culture. As a responsible corporation, we respect the interests of our Stakeholders-our shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, teaming partners, and the wider community.

Also, we actively seek opportunities to improve the environment and contribute to the well-being of communities in which we operate. Our CSR initiative focuses mainly in the areas of sanitation, education and women empowerment through skilling and development.

AVASARA ACADEMY

Promoting Education

Through Avasara Academy, Niwas has contributed towards providing education to adolescent girls from economically weaker sections of the society. Based on the Cambridge curriculum, with an emphasis on leadership, entrepreneurship, and Indian studies, the Academy is equipping young women with essential tools to navigate life after school. Set up as a residential learning programme in Pune, the Academy continues to expand, introducing new facilities such as libraries and hostel accommodation. The students and their parents have changed their perception of receiving education; parents are now willing to send their kids to school to complete their schooling. The teaching techniques used here are more practical which prepares students for real life scenarios. The students get an equal opportunity to actively involve themselves in sports as they have access to the Oxford Golf ground in Pune.

Population

Empowering Women

This initiative promotes the economic empowerment of women through vermi-composting. Learning this skill equips members of villages with a life-long method of earning money while living a healthier life. Women have become more confident and have the ability to contribute towards household incomes, while also being further committed to developing their marketing skills to increase sales. Children in schools are learning the importance of hygiene and have become advocates for the construction of kitchen gardens and soak pits in their community.

Centre for Environmental Research and Education (CERE)

Sanitation

Under the Water Conservation and Rainwater Harvesting Project, conducted at the Ploice HQ in Naigaon, niwas contributed towards the augmentation of water for the police family of the region. This project has yield notable environmental and social outcomes:

Harvesting 38.8 million litres of rain water every year.
Increase in ground water table of the entire Naigon precinct area in Dadar.
Recharge of defunct bore wells.

All the members of the police community have been enthusiastically involved in this project, being actively involved in CERE to complete it on time. The families were trained on the usage and saving of water, thus, helping a deserving section of society that is usually ignored.
