Protecting Women Farmers: DS Group’s Approach to Agricultural Safety

Agricultural safety remains a critical but often overlooked dimension of rural development in India. Women contribute substantially to farming, yet the occupational risks they face, including exposure to pesticides and other agricultural chemicals, receive limited attention. Inadequate access to appropriate protective equipment, gaps in safety awareness and the challenges of adopting protective practices leave many agricultural workers vulnerable. Addressing these risks requires sustained efforts spanning health education, access to effective protective gear and safer approaches to pesticide use. Against this backdrop, Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), through its Salute the FarmHER...

Rethinking Corporate Social Responsibility: Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s Focus on...

The measure of corporate social responsibility lies not merely in the scale of resources deployed, but in what communities are able to sustain long after an intervention ends. From water security and environmental resilience to vocational training and livelihoods, the challenge for corporate philanthropy is to move beyond the delivery of programmes towards building institutions, strengthening local capacities and enabling communities to shape their own development. At Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), this thinking informs its “Child to Community” approach, which places long-term social outcomes at the centre of its CSR strategy. In this interview, Mr. Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive...
