INDIVILLAGE
The group's sustainability initiatives are led by the umbrella company, IndiVillage. Started in 2009 in direct response to Dr. Abdul Kalam’s advice for corporates to concentrate energy on giving back to society and focusing on rural India, Indivillage helps provide jobs to rural youth and women so that they are prepared to be independent and empowered. IndiVillage offers IT and ITeS services and reinvests profits back into the society and into the villages. IndiVillage pursues a vision to ensure all villages invest in children’s education, nurture their present resources, and commemorate their natural heritage craft by integrating into the information economy of the 21st century.
MACHANI RAMANNA DRINKING WATER SERVICES
Rural India is a place where clean drinking water is scarce. Waterborne diseases are prominent, and education about drinking clean and sanitised water is not provided in many secluded areas. Yemmiganur, a small village in Andhra Pradesh, is among one of these areas. The main source of drinking water for the people in this village is tap water. Unfortunately, this tap water is not safe to drink. It contains various bacteria, impurities, and sometimes even dangerous viruses. Without this knowledge, many living in this area are ending up with life-threatening diseases and even severe disabilities. Established in 2015 by MG Charities, The Machani Ramanna Drinking Water Services provides clean and safe drinking water to people in Yemmiganur town and surrounding villages.More than 2000 families and 2500 school children benefit from the clean drinking water every day.
