Rushin Patel is a CSR professional, driven by passion, commitment and a missionary zeal towards social change. In modest career span of about 14 years he has led large-scale multistate development projects through strategic perspective and collaborative approach within communities and convergence with multiple stakeholders, while embedding innovative and sustainable solutions at the grassroots.
His personal credibility, integrity and ethics have been an inspiration for his colleagues, partners and communities. He has left indelible footprints wherever he has gone and worked in CSR domain and recognized and noticed by all concerned.
He is Group CSR Head at Solaris Chemtech Industries Ltd. and Agrocel Industries Pvt. Ltd. These chemical companies are based out at remote geographies of Kutch (Banni and Pachcham areas), Gujarat where cattle care and tourism (4 months in a year through “Ranotsav”) are the only core livelihood for local community.
He worked and identified core areas like: Cattle care, Environment and ecology conservation/restoration, Soil and Water conservation, Education program, health care program, youth livelihood program. It is intended to initiate programs in line with SDGs for inclusive growth.
He is widely recognised for my contribution towards social and sustainable change initiatives which have impacted at the grassroots and benefitted thousands of rural households across India.
However, even more remarkable is his catalytic and capacity-building role which has brought transformation in the entire spectrum of actors engaged in execution of social projects. This involves capacity building and training NGO professionals, PRIs, SHGs, institutions and individuals engaged with the projects, which he has been doing with the greatest commitment to ensure manifold outcomes for all my initiatives.
He believes in building knowledge and capacity at all levels so that each individual can in turn become an agent of change. This approach has enabled him to transform workers into changemakers who lead, not the project, but the mission. All initiatives taken up by him are designed to strengthen groups and institutions leading to sustainability of the effort. He firmly believes that people progress in group; people learn from each other in a group, people share success and failure in a group and the collective action creates a healthy and sustainable eco-system for rural India.
Overall his commitment to CSR is seen through his efforts in understanding and implementing through collective action, developing sustainable and scalable partnerships and solutions that prioritize maximum measurable impact, efficiency and transparency. He is sincerely committed to invest his time and efforts to ensure that all initiatives and collaborations are truly creating value, not just for the bottom of the pyramid, but for the economic, social and environmental aspects, being touched through each CSR initiative taken up by him.
