Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives
Personality development, career counselling sessions and outreach programs are conducted in schools in the vicinity of our educational institutions.
The NSS unit at DCSMAT, Vagamon undertook rural community development initiatives including the construction of roads and houses. Even though the objectives were challenging, benefits accrued to the community gave us an immense sense of satisfaction. As a part of this initiative, outreach programs on hygiene, disease prevention and bio-farming were also conducted.
DCKF’s annual community healthcare initiative in Vagamon organises a free medical camp that offers nutritional counselling, physical therapy sessions, besides blood testing and donation initiatives.
‘Envirothon’, an event that seeks to promote awareness of the importance of sustaining existential harmony with nature is staged by the foundation annually.
