The Radiant Group & Corporate Social Responsibility

With a focus on paying it forward, our group CSR activities benefit a cross-section of communities. Some of our notable projects include:

Ashraya

The Radiant Ashraya Project serves free afternoon meals throughout the year to the elderly poor and destitute. Launched in April 2011, afternoon meals are served to 1,172 beneficiaries spread over 31 villages – 16 in the Kancheepuram district and 15 in the Thiruvallur district. Our field staff visits every house with the help of representatives of the local panchayat, to review the status of men and women over 60 years of age, as well as any physically or mentally challenged individuals not cared for by relatives, to be grouped for the project. This survey is repeated meticulously and at regular intervals to continuously identify beneficiaries.

Women, identified as caretakers from the same village, cook for the beneficiaries as per the menu designed by the CSR division. Cooking utensils, lunch plates, tumblers and storage containers are provided and inventory of all items issued is maintained both at the CSR office as well as the respective villages. Dry rations and firewood are supplied bi-monthly, and vegetables are procured every week to maintain freshness.

Efforts taken during COVID-19

The Radiant Foundation offered assistance to various hospitals as well as needy individuals during the COVID-19 lockdown and pandemic. From protective gear for healthcare workers, to food kits for those who lost their livelihoods, we were systematically able to address the needs of the communities around us. N95 masks and PPE kits were donated to the CSI Kalyani Hospital in Chennai. PPEs were also given to the Military Hospital in Chennai. A grocery and masala kit was presented to the 69 caretakers of the Ashraya Project. Through the lockdown, these caretakers cooked and served mid-day meals to the beneficiaries of the project. In addition, 600 grocery kits, each with 5 kg rice, 1kg dal and 1 kg atta were presented to the St George’s Cathedral, Chennai. These were distributed to migrant labourers and daily wagers near Guduvancheri. 1400 such grocery kits were also presented to the Loyola College, Chennai, to be distributed to migrant labourers, domestic workers and transgenders. A donation was also made to the Rotary Club of Madras Metro, towards cooking for and serving health and sanitation workers in and around Egmore.

Shiksha

Under the Shiksha Project, interest-free education loans are given to deserving, economically weaker students from the same villages that come under the scope of the Ashraya Project. As on date, more than 450 students have benefited since its inception in 2009. Financially-challenged students are identified by field executives and put through a background check. The interest-free loans are issued based on authenticity and financial repayment capability. The entire process is validated by Dr Renuka David, Managing Director at the Radiant Group. So far, the entire amount given has been repaid without any defaulters.
