ALAR is committed to sustainable development, where business goes hand in hand with societal wellbeing and environmental consciousness. By collaborating with various NGOs and Trusts, ALAR undertakes several CSR and community engagement initiatives that contribute to a positive societal impact.
Some major CSR projects undertaken by ALAR are:
Women’s health initiative
(together with URJA Energy, EDF & DCWA)
The project of “Ensuring a Confident, Dignified and Stable Life for young Women and Girls” organised by ALAR, in association with URJA Energy, ECO- Development Foundation (EDF) and DCWA, at Rajrani Devi Saraswati Vidhya Mandir School, Sambhal, Moradabad, was well received and appreciated by the local community. School going girls were educated about the importance of menstrual and reproductive health. Young girls were also made aware of the uses and hygienic benefits of sanitary pads.
Free of cost sanitary pads, produced locally under another project of Urja Energy providing employment to underprivileged women, were also distributed to the girls under this project.
ALAR in its endeavour for improving the lives of the underprivileged collaborated with the Delhi Commonwealth Women’s Association to contribute to their vision of building a healthy world. Their Medical Centre at Zamrudpur, Delhi provides free treatment to the underprivileged. Alar contributed to providing medicines free of cost to these patients. ALAR also contributed towards the Tuberculosis Eradication Programme of the Association by providing free of cost treatment to several patients.
Free cataract surgeries, Moradabad, UP.
(HelpMeSee Foundation)
ALAR, in association with HelpMeSee, supported in the conduct of 150 Free Cataract surgeries of the underprivileged in Moradabad, UP.
The communities, where the program was conducted, have benefitted as hitherto access to quality eye care was unavailable. Post operation, all patients enjoyed improved vision and their families were happy that they were rehabilitated back to active work in the family. The Project was completed in 2018.
