GMR Varalakshmi Foundation

Touching Lives. Enhancing Livelihoods.

Overview

The commitment to making a difference in society is innately woven into the fabric of the Group's functions. This principle, from the conception of our vision to every initiative undertaken, embodies our belief in giving back to the community, shaping it as an integral part of the Group's business ethos.

GMR Varalakshmi Foundation (GMRVF) is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the GMR Group. Its mandate is to develop social infrastructure and enhance the quality of life of communities around the locations where the Group has a presence.

Working collaboratively with these communities, the Foundation ensures that our efforts align with the specific needs of each locality. Today, the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation has established a pan-India presence. At all locations, we undertake activities in tune with thrust areas. Beyond India, we extend our CSR activities to the areas surrounding GMR projects in Nepal.
