Outreach Activities

India is the first country in the world to make corporate social responsibility mandatory in April 2014. The Government of India encourages non-profit CSR investments in areas such as education, poverty, gender equality, and hunger as part of any CSR compliance.

In line with the above philosophy, Chettinad healthcare is committed to serving the community around it. Our outreach programs have benefited over 2 lakh individuals of all ages in surrounding villages. Under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Program, AICTE, CARE is a Participation Institution(PI) and has adopted these villages - Thaiyur, Pudupakkam, Velichai and Kayar - for the development process.

Since Chettinad Healthcare believes in "healthcare for all", economical solutions with specialist consultations and state-of-the-art facilities are offered to the community.
