betterment of the society.

with an NGO for awareness, detection and treatment of cancer. We also fund
treatment for epilepsy and support the 'I Hear' foundation for treatment of
underprivileged deaf children. Alkem is also involved with the Swami
Vivekananda Trust.

Public Health
Alkem has established Primary Healthcare Centres at two different places in
Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Alkem has joined hands with several NGOs to
increase public awareness about life-threatening diseases, such as cancer,
neurological disorders and hearing impairment. The primary target are women
residing in rural areas and slum-dwellers in urban regions. We also, provide
free check-up and treatment facilities for these diseases.

Education

schools. Alkem has constructed and modified 4 Angandwadi Centres into
Modern Anganwadi Centers. This is done in a partnership with government as
part of the integrated child development services program to combat child
hunger and malnutrition.

To help this cause, Alkem is providing hygienic drinking water, building toilets
and developing primary health centres in hilly areas of Sikkim, Maharashtra,
Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. This move is to help in improving the health of
villagers and reducing spread of water-borne diseases. Alkem has joined hands
with ‘Fulora Foundation’ to provide vocational training for youngsters.

Alkem believes in the conservation of natural resources and use of renewable


energy resources. To further this cause, we have installed solar light on the
streets of Gujarat.
