The board of directors, instead of forming a separate CSR committee, oversees the company’s CSR activities in line with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, as the CSR budget for the financial year falls below Rs 50 lakh.

Supporting underprivileged communities with access to quality education. Investing in initiatives aimed at improving healthcare services in rural and underserved areas. Engaging in activities that promote environmental protection, such as tree plantation drives and waste management projects. Contributing to poverty eradication and community development through various social welfare programs.
