Partnerships for progress
In line with our CSR policy, Arvind SmartSpaces collaborates with Strategic Help Alliance for Relief to Distressed Areas (SHARDA) Trust and Arvind Foundation to implement impactful projects focused on rural and educational advancement. We recognize that sustainable progress is rooted in empowering local communities and enhancing their quality of life.
Empowering rural
communities
Our real estate project, Arvind Highgrove, situated in the Sanand taluka of Ahmedabad, serves
as the epicenter of our rural development initiatives. We are actively engaged in four villages
- Moti Devti, Nani Devti, Moraiya, and Motipura - where we endeavor to uplift marginalised communities through comprehensive interventions. These efforts have positively impacted over 15,000 residents, predominantly from scheduled castes, other backward castes, and tribal communities.
Education, environment, and
livelihood
Our long-term rural advancement strategy encompasses
education, environment, and livelihood initiatives. Under
the education component,
we support digital literacy programs and supplementary education initiatives to enhance learning outcomes and foster
skill development among local residents. Over 1700 primary school students and women benefited from our digital literacy program, facilitated through a partnership with Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Arvind Foundation.
Environmental stewardship
Arvind SmartSpaces remains committed to environmental conservation through extensive plantation drives and sustainable agricultural practices. We planted over 9000 trees across locations, including individual homes, schools, and communal spaces, promoting biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
