Company also highlights ₹3.75 crore in scholarships awarded to over 13,411 students and launches 11 community-focused welfare initiatives.
NEW DELHI (India CSR): Muthoot Finance Limited has announced a Rs. 1 crore school sanitation initiative and eleven community-focused welfare projects to commemorate the 77th birth anniversary of its former Chairman, Late Shri M. G. George Muthoot. The initiatives, spanning education, healthcare, senior citizen care, road safety and disability support, will be implemented across North, East and West India.
Reinforcing its continued commitment to education, the company also highlighted that it has awarded scholarships worth Rs. 3.75 crore to more than 13,411 students over the past decade. The scholarship support reflects the Group’s focus on enabling access to higher education and helping young people pursue their academic aspirations.
School Sanitation Focus
The flagship Rs. 1 crore initiative will support the construction and upgradation of sanitation facilities in government schools, particularly in rural and underserved regions. The programme seeks to address critical infrastructure gaps by providing safe, hygienic and dignified toilet facilities for thousands of students.
Depending on the existing infrastructure and specific requirements of each school, Muthoot Finance will construct or renovate between one and four functional toilet units per school. The initiative has been designed to improve hygiene standards and strengthen access to essential sanitation facilities within the school ecosystem.
A key focus of the programme will be menstrual hygiene management and the availability of clean, functional sanitation facilities for girl students. Better sanitation infrastructure can contribute to student dignity, well-being and regular school attendance, especially for adolescent girls.

Panipat School Support
As part of the initiative under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Muthoot Finance has recently completed and inaugurated a new toilet block at the Government Senior Secondary School in Barauli, Panipat district, Haryana. The facility is expected to benefit nearly 800 students.
The school sanitation initiative is being positioned as a long-term investment in safer learning environments. By strengthening basic infrastructure in government schools, the company aims to help create conditions that support both learning and student health.

Education Takes Centre
The company’s wider education-focused interventions include the presentation of the Muthoot M. George Excellence Award to 100 meritorious students of Classes 8 and 9 across North Delhi. The recognition programme is intended to encourage academic achievement among young learners.
Other educational initiatives include the distribution of bicycles to girl students in Firozabad to support their daily commute to school, classroom infrastructure support for schools in Vadodara, and the establishment of a digital computer laboratory in Rajkot.
Muthoot Finance is also distributing career guidance materials to benefit 5,000 students across schools in Ahmedabad. These initiatives bring together access, infrastructure, digital learning and career awareness, while extending educational opportunities to students from diverse communities.

Welfare Across Regions
Extending its community welfare and healthcare outreach, the Group has donated motorised wheelchairs and household appliances, including refrigerators and washing machines, to senior citizen homes and care institutions in Faridabad, Gorakhpur and Bhopal.
The company has also established a clean drinking water facility at a government school in Misrod, Bhopal, benefiting more than 700 students. In Jaipur, it is supporting frontline civic workers through the distribution of safety helmets, recognising the importance of road safety and personal protection for workers serving city communities.
Together, the eleven initiatives cover multiple dimensions of community well-being—from sanitation, education and digital access to elder care, disability support, safe drinking water and road safety.
