Corporate Social Responsibility

Bajaj Auto has adopted Skilling as a core CSR focus area for its next phase of CSR activities. Bajaj Auto will partner with leading Skills universities, other technical education facilities, and Civil Society Organisations so that today’s youth can be Industry 4.0 ready. While the blueprint of the new Skilling model is being developed, Bajaj Auto already supports an array of skilling and capability enhancement programmes.

Bajaj Auto Limited partnered with Bhartiya Yuva Shakti Trust (BYST) to execute a Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme - to assist disadvantaged youth in developing business ideas into viable enterprises under the guidance of a mentor. The enrolled young entrepreneurs are nurtured until they reach a level where they are self-sufficient and can make successful contributions to society by creating wealth and employment. This partnership has created more than 1500 enterprises. A similar program with I-Create as a partner mentors Army Veterans and supports them in their enterprise journey. To date, our pilot project has mentored 384 Army Veterans and created 76 entrepreneurs who have completed their mentorship program and started their own businesses.

This project aims to improve the quality of life of the people living around the fenceline geographies of Bajaj Auto facilities in Pune and Aurangabad (Maharashtra) and Udham-Singh-Nagar (Uttarakhand).

The project is in a planning phase and will be delivered in partnership with District Administration, Civil Society Organisations, and Stakeholder groups. This project will bring together our learnings and partnerships from supporting more than 200 NGOs in the last 5 years.

The Bajaj Water Conservation Project covers close to 150 villages in Aurangabad – covering a geographical area of close to 1 lakh Ha. It brings together 6 NGOs, including Jankidevi Bajaj Gram Vikas Sanstha, working on water conservation and strengthening community water stewardship. The community also contributes 10% of the cost of the interventions as a community contribution – and is also responsible for the care & maintenance of the structures.

Bajaj Auto also supports community-based watershed development initiatives in Rajasthan (in partnership with Foundation for Ecological Security) and springshed development in Uttarakhand (in partnership with Peoples Science Institute).
