Corporate Social Responsibility

Associated Industries Rural Development Trust (AIRDT) was formed in 1979 by the Group Companies to fulfil the Corporate Social Responsibility / Commitment of the group.

The Gandhian principle of Trusteeship is well emulated by the Trust in the sense that the trustees have diverted a part of their business operational profits and time resources to developmental activities in villages.

The Trust deployed committed social worker to the adopted two villages namely Timba and Navapura in Gujarat and promoted a variety of educational, medical, social and developmental programs, in these villages, with the involvement and participation of the local population. These activities did enhance the social and economic status of the rural population. Encouraged by such positive results these activities were extended to the other villages from time to time. The activities conducted in these villages in a collaborative manner discouraged dependency and ensured an inbuilt element of self - sustenance to the capacity building of these villages.

All the activities of AIRD Trust have been transferred to the newly created trust in memory of Late Shri Hiralal Bhagwati who was the Founder Trustee of AIRD Trust. The newly created trust in the year 2013 is named as "Shri Hiralal Bhagwati Charitable Trust (SHBCT)".
