Community Initiative at Birlasoft

The goal of environmental sustainability is to conserve natural resources and to develop alternate sources. Pollution is the byproduct of 19th Century industrial revolution which occurs when the natural environment fails to perform the mechanism of destroying unwanted element which harms or damages ecosystem. Air pollution is the 5^th leading cause of death in India. Pollution, in any form is hazardous for the society and actions have to be taken to minimize the pollution.
Project Shodhan was launched in July 2017 with the aim to reduce air pollution from crop residue burning in the villages of Punjab, Haryana, UP and Rajasthan. Under this project Birlasoft made farmers aware about the ill-effects of stubble burning and provided the sustainable straw management solution. Through Birlasoft flagship project Shodhan along with minimizing air pollution we also emphasize on conservation of air and soil, rural development, health of farmers and their families. Till date we have covered 50 villages of Haryana and Punjab. Birlasoft won 'SABERA', Social and Business Enterprise Responsible Award for two consecutive years in the "Paryavaran" category.

There is no country that is immune from disaster. Disaster interrupts essential services, such as health care, electricity, water, sewage clearance , garbage removal, transportation and communications. The interruption can seriously affect the health, social and economic networks of local communities and country. Disasters have a major and long-lasting impact on people even after the immediate effect has been mitigated.
