At Mane Kancor, sustainability extends beyond responsible sourcing and manufacturing—it is rooted in creating lasting value for the communities we work with. As part of our ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment, we continue to invest in initiatives that promote education, environmental stewardship, and sustainable livelihoods across our backward integration project areas in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
As part of “Wheels of Change”, a CSR initiative aimed at improving access to education for rural girls, 45 bicycles were distributed to school-going students in our backward integration project areas. By helping ease their daily commute to school, the initiative seeks to reduce travel-related barriers, encourage continued education, and empower young girls with greater opportunities to learn and thrive.
In support of sustainable agriculture, 23 vermicompost units, along with the necessary starter material, were provided to farmers within the project area. By encouraging the adoption of organic composting practices, the initiative contributes to healthier soils, and environmentally responsible farming methods that benefit both farmers and the ecosystem.
Further reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability, modular rainwater harvesting systems were installed in three rural schools. The initiative promotes responsible water management while helping strengthen water security and encouraging sustainable practices within local communities.
Each of these initiatives reflects our belief that meaningful progress is achieved through long-term partnerships with the communities we serve. By supporting education, empowering farmers with sustainable solutions, and promoting the responsible use of natural resources, we continue to contribute to stronger, more resilient rural communities while advancing our broader vision of sustainable and inclusive growth.
