CSR Initiatives - Responsibility Towards Growth

At Kogta Financial India Limited, we frequently organize t-shirt distribution drives for the less fortunate. For those who live in slums and on the streets, meeting basic requirements of food and shelter is tough enough and they compromise on clothing by wearing worn-out clothes. With this concern, Kogta Foundation took steps to fulfil their need.

We contributed to the upkeep of cows at a shelter which provides them with food and cares for their wellbeing. The dual benefit of this activity is that it also provides livelihoods to people undertaking these activities.

The Good Samaritan law was created to protect individuals who help accident victims from any legal proceedings. The legislation encourages individuals to come to the rescue of others suffering from injury, with good intentions and without expecting any reward or payment in return. Kogta Financial has taken the initiative to promote road safety awareness and the Good Samaritan law, by involving NCC cadets to informed people about the law through posters and pamphlets. These cadets visit various prominent places, such as parks of the city and made the general public aware that they should fearlessly help people who might be injured in road accidents, within the crucial golden hours, to save their lives.

Through this initiative, food is served to the needy via food trucks called Feeding Hands at different areas in the city of Jaipur. These food trucks/vans maintain good quality, quantity and cleanliness while preparing the food. This initiative entails feeding the hungry, with nutritious food to ensure good health.

Education is a continuous and life changing process and we feel that no children should be deprived of their right to education, especially since they essentially are the country’s future. Therefore, an initiative has been taken to provide school fees for children from underprivileged homes. This should go a long way towards ensuring their education continues and their futures are brighter.

A pan-India blanket donation drive was initiated by the Kogta Financial India Limited so that the less fortunate would be able to sustain themselves during the winters, which are very harsh.

The goal of the Lakshya Road Safety league is to promote road safety awareness and etiquette. It also seeks to promote the value and importance of sports, as part of a healthy lifestyle, especially for children. This initiative by Kogta Foundation to promote Road Safety Awareness, the Good Samaritan Law and Sports as an integral aspect of the lives of children. The annual Cricket Tournament, held in Jaipur, was once again co- sponsored by Kogta to promote this mission.

Acknowledging that mass-produced facial masks, which conform to safety norms, was the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Kogta undertook a pan-India mask donation drive in April 2020. The masks that were donated offered protection that was akin to N95 masks, were crafted from commonly available materials, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and were reusable.

At Kogta, we frequently organise tree planting drives. Our team plants trees around our operations areas, but also secures their survival by installing tree guards and nurturing the saplings until they mature into trees.

Kogta has been a benefactor to Pratham Shreni Pashu Chikitsalaya at Bijainagar in Ajmer, Rajasthan, towards caring for the well-being of domestic animals, like buffaloes, etc.

Between December 2020 and January 2021, Jaipur recorded its 2nd lowest temperatures in 55 years. Many residents in the slums were suffering due to this severe cold. Kogta Foundation donated blankets to keep them warm. Majority of these blankets were distributed to the elderly, who were living alone, and to people from extremely poor families.

Giving blood is often associated with saving lives. People with illnesses and medical conditions, such as anemia, hemophilia, cancer and sickle cell disease often need blood transfusions to survive. The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests using the blood quota of 1% of a country’s population as a rough approximation of its blood requirements. According to those figures, India faces a 1.9-million- unit blood shortage, which translates into about 60 tankers (according to FY. 2016-17 Government of India statistics).

Several water coolers have been installed by Kogta Financial (India) Limited at RTO Bhilwara and Anuthiya Gav, near Bijainagar in Rajasthan, in order to provide chilled potable drinking water throughout the warm summers. We also ensure that these water coolers are repaired and maintained in a timely manner.

We extended financial assistance to Udhbhav School, location. The funds are being used to meet the school’s girl child education programme – Umeed. By supporting this academic programme, we aim to provide these young girls the foundation they need to be self-reliant and successful in the future.

We also contributed towards the distribution of track suits in Government School at Bijainagar, Ajmer, Rajasthan. Sports and physical activity are an important aspect of life and this support towards the right attire will help the students to be more active.

We also supported PSR Global Foundation in their tree plantation drive. The team not only plants trees around its operation sites, but it also ensures their survival by erecting tree guards and carefully nurtures them till the sapling matures into a tree.

Among our other CSR projects was the donation made to Shri Pinjarapole Gaushala to provide monetary assistance for cow fodder. The dual benefit of this activity is that it also provides livelihood to the peoples undertaking day to day care of Cows.

At Kogta Financial (India) Limited, we believe everyone has a right to clean and safe drinking water for good health. Keeping this belief in mind, we contributed towards the preparation of sheltered drinking water facility and installation of water cooler at Bijainagar School, Rajasthan. Through this intervention, we aim to provide drinking water facilities to children coming from nearby districts and to the local communities to ensure sound health and welfare for all.

Promoting education to enhance livelihoods has always been at theheart of our CSR agenda. We envision providing a safe and conducive environment for child education and nurture holistic development. Towards this, we made a donation to a school situated in Pushkar, Rajasthan. Focus is on enabling the young ones to grow into capable, responsible, educated and self-sufficient citizens.

As supporters of the welfare of cows and their protection from being sent to slaughter houses, we contributed to their upkeep at a shelter which provides them with food and cares for them. The dual benefit of this activity is that it also provided livelihoods to people undertaking these activities.

We believe that playing sports builds character and enhances self-confidence. We focus on promoting cricket, a sport that is loved by the entire nation, by actively participating in training youth from underprivileged communities.
