Eastman Group of Companies, India’s one of the leading conglomerates has donated INR 17.5 lacs for limb donation to Narayan Seva Sansthan of Udaipur, Rajasthan (NSS) to support initiatives aimed at empowering differently-abled individuals across Ludhiana. This collaboration underscores Eastman Group’s steadfast dedication to enhancing societal well-being willing beneficiaries and encouraging inclusive growth of the society. The partnership with NSS emerged as it has stood out for its decades-long commitment to providing free prosthetic limbs and vocational training to differently-abled individuals.
The collaboration has already bolstered NSS’s efforts in Ludhiana, where a limb donation camp has benefitted 700-800 individuals, including families of beneficiaries. The limb donation initiative aims to have a significant impact on the lives of the beneficiaries. Eastman Group’s involvement extends beyond financial support, as they actively promoted NSS’s initiatives within the industry and provided strategic inputs to maximize impact by providing employment opportunities to differently-abled individuals in the near future.
Eastman Group will also offer job opportunities to individuals who have received limbs during the camp, as part of the government schemes National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) and National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS). This initiative by the Group will enable them to earn while learning in a workplace, providing a head start in their chosen careers. The Group aims to prepare them for industry demands and the evolving needs of the company, ensuring they become industry-ready. This support will enhance their prospects of sustaining themselves in their respective fields and achieving self-dependence.
Mr. Jagdish Rai Singal, Founder and Chairman, Eastman Group, emphasized the company’s profound sense of social responsibility, stating, “At Eastman Group, we take our Corporate Social Responsibility utmost seriously and strive to fulfill both our legal obligations and our karmic duty towards uplifting the society as a whole through multiple such initiatives. With this limbs donation camp our objectives are twofold – first is to alleviate the social exclusion faced by the individuals who have lost limbs and second to equip them with skills that enable seamless integration into mainstream society and the workforce to sustain themselves in the future. These campaigns are ongoing, driven by our commitment to sustainably uplift communities of differently-abled individuals. Additionally, we chose to collaborate with NSS because of their sterling reputation and unparalleled expertise in the field of social responsibility. NSS, with its extensive experience and unwavering dedication, played a pivotal role in executing this campaign. The recent limb donation camp in Ludhiana has demonstrated the profound impact on the differently-abled community members.”
