Beyond Business: Creating
Communities That Thrive
Through Dhanuka Foundation, we extend our commitment beyond excellence in manufacturing to build stronger communities. Discover how we're making meaningful impact in education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihood—creating lasting change for society.
Our Commitment
to Society
At Umang Boards Limited, we recognize that true business success extends far beyond financial performance—it encompasses our responsibility to the communities we serve and the society we're part of. Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is deeply embedded in our organizational values and manifests through Dhanuka Foundation, our wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to creating sustainable social impact.
We firmly believe that businesses have a fundamental obligation to contribute to the welfare of local communities and society at large. Our approach to CSR is rooted in the principle of sustainable development—ensuring that our interventions create lasting positive change while fostering long-term community resilience. Through strategic partnerships and carefully designed programs, we strive to be catalysts for meaningful social transformation.
Our Philosophy:
Creating Lasting Impact
Dhanuka Foundation operates on the principle that effective social intervention requires thoughtful planning, strategic execution, and sustained commitment. We take utmost care in the selection of community initiatives we support, ensuring that every program aligns with our core mission of creating long-term societal welfare.
Rather than spreading resources across numerous shallow initiatives, we focus our efforts on fewer, high-impact programs where we can make a genuine difference. This focused approach allows us to build deeper relationships with partner organizations and communities, ultimately leading to more meaningful outcomes.
We carefully evaluate potential initiatives based on their capacity to create sustainable, measurable impact.
All our programs are designed with deep understanding of local needs and community dynamics.
We believe in building lasting partnerships rather than one-time interventions, ensuring continuity and sustained benefits.
Our Initiatives
Through Dhanuka Foundation, we focus on three core areas that create lasting impact in our communities.
Initiative 01
Sustainable Livelihood
Through our strategic partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation, we contribute to addressing food security challenges while supporting educational access and retention. The Foundation operates one of the world's largest school meal programs, serving millions of nutritious meals to children across India.
Food security remains one of the most pressing challenges facing underprivileged communities across India. Through our strategic partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation, we contribute to addressing this fundamental need while supporting the broader goal of educational access and retention.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation operates one of the world's largest school meal programs, serving millions of nutritious meals to children across India.
Our support enables the foundation to:
- Expand meal distribution networks to reach more underserved communities
- Enhance nutritional quality through improved ingredients and preparation methods
- Implement technology-driven solutions for efficient meal preparation and distribution
- Create employment opportunities within local communities through kitchen operations and logistics
By partnering with Akshaya Patra, we're not just addressing hunger — we're investing in a comprehensive solution that supports education, health, and community development.
Initiative 02
Education
Aligned with our vision of 'Education for All,' Dhanuka Foundation operates a comprehensive merit scholarship program. We provide financial support to meritorious students who demonstrate academic excellence but lack economic resources — covering tuition, books, and educational materials.
Education serves as the cornerstone of individual empowerment and societal progress. Our scholarship initiative recognizes that intellectual potential exists across all socioeconomic backgrounds, but financial constraints often limit educational opportunities.
Key Features of Our Scholarship Program:
- Merit-Based Selection: Scholarships are awarded based on academic performance
- Comprehensive Coverage: Financial assistance covers tuition fees, books, and educational materials
- Mentorship Component: Beyond financial support, we provide guidance and mentoring
- Progressive Support: Multi-year commitments ensure students can complete their programs
We believe that for sustainable and steady societal growth, education plays the most critical role. Every student we support represents an investment in India's future.
Initiative 03
Healthcare
Through partnerships with Mother Teresa Foundation, Jaipur and SDMH Avedna Ashram, we support comprehensive care for elderly and physically challenged individuals, and provide palliative care services for patients facing terminal illnesses — focusing on comfort, dignity, and emotional support.
Healthcare accessibility remains a significant challenge for many communities, particularly for elderly citizens, physically challenged individuals, and those facing terminal illnesses.
Partnership with Mother Teresa Foundation, Jaipur — Our collaboration enables the foundation to:
- Provide residential care facilities with professional medical supervision
- Offer physiotherapy and rehabilitation services for physically challenged individuals
- Ensure nutritious meals and essential medications for residents
- Create a dignified living environment that prioritizes comfort, care, and respect
