Maruti Suzuki India Limited is developing a 100-bed hospital in Sitapur, Gujarat. The first phase of the project with 50 beds is expected to be operational by April 2021. The facility is being developed in partnership with Ramanbhai Foundation, Ahmedabad.
The Company is also setting up a school in Sitapur, Gujarat, in partnership with Podar Education Network. Its primary wing is expected to become functional from June 2021.
The facility, spread over 7.5 acres, will be one of its kind in the area with emergency care and super-specialty medical services. This project will supplement the Company’s onging efforts of supporting community health centers in villages through upgradation of medical infrastructure. Residential support facilities will be provided to the hospital staff.
As per the annual report 2020, the Company recognises the need to improve community health and lays special emphasis on health projects.
Last year, the country annouced that it will set up a multi-speciality hospital and a senior secondary school in Sitapur in Gujarat. Both projects will be fully-funded as CSR initiatives by Maruti Suzuki India with an investment of around Rs. 125 crore over a five-year period.
The Company’s CSR Policy aims to create a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of beneficiaries. To achieve the desired impact, the Company allocates its resources in specific strategic areas rather than spreading them thin over several areas.
The CSR activities are undertaken in three areas namely community development, road safety and skill development. All the projects undergo systematic assessments and reviews in order to monitor implementation progress and the outcomes and impacts.
