A.S. Chowdhri Foundation

CSR activities

Navabharat Limited carries out its CSR activities through the A.S. Chowdhri Foundation and in partnership with credible non-⁠governmental organisations. The work spans six areas, from public health and women's livelihoods to village roads and public institutions.

Health and sanitation

Patients and attendants in a hospital ward with rows of beds and ceiling fans

We strengthen government hospitals and Primary Health Centres (PHCs) with infrastructure and essential medical support.

We also organise health camps for women and children, with health awareness programmes, basic medical check-⁠ups and follow-⁠up consultations.

Women's empowerment and skills

We run skill development and entrepreneurship training for women, including vocational training in five trades.

The aim is self-⁠employment and a sustainable livelihood for rural women.

Livelihoods and sustainability

A large heap of agricultural material under an open-sided shed, with yellow machines in the background

We promote the production of biomass pellets from agricultural waste, turning what is left over from farming into a useful product.

Alongside it, we support farmers in managing agricultural waste sustainably.

Community partnerships

We carry out CSR initiatives together with Deena Bandu Foundation and other credible non-⁠governmental organisations.

Working with partners helps each initiative do more for the community and reach further.

Rural infrastructure

We build and improve approach roads and internal village roads.

Better roads make villages easier to reach and to get around, and support their social and economic development.

Support for public institutions

Benches, office chairs and boxed equipment outside a police station, with three people and a Foundation CSR activity board

We provide infrastructure support to government offices, schools, hospitals and other public institutions, creating or upgrading the essential facilities they need.

Improved facilities help these institutions serve the public better.
