Corporate Social Responsibility

At The Avvashya Group, we are committed to improving the quality of the environment towards greater sustainability. Towards this endeavour we actively encourage and support educational initiatives. At The Avvashya Group, we believe that every child deserves a chance to learn and discover the opportunities that the world has to offer and we are actively working and promoting that ethos with our focus on Education.

Some of our activities in the field of Education include,

• Setting up a school in Koproli, in close proximity to our JNPT CFS
