“A pessimist, they say, sees a glass as being half empty; an optimist sees the same glass as half full. But a giving person sees a glass of water and starts looking for someone who might be thirsty.”
-G.DONALD GALEIt is this realization that has inspired NK Realtors to commit itself to a number of social causes, backed by a strong sense of motivation to improve the overall living standard of the urban deprived population. We endeavor to establish ourselves as a socially responsible organization, who thinks beyond the 2% CSR mandate and make a humble contribution towards the economic and social empowerment of the society. To achieve the purpose, we not only provide direct financial support but also get associated with a number of NGOs to channelize our activities and organize events to leverage the mechanism of corporate philanthropy with the focus bring on health and education.
Indirect CSR includes all those activities that might not involve direct monetary involvement, but rather an indirect effort to leverage the process of philanthropy for the third parties associating with us. Each member of the organization is equally enthusiastic about making some contribution in their own little way. Therefore, regular donation camps and fund raising activities are also considered to be an integral part of indirect CSR.
Amid the lockdown situation, all of us are inside our homes.
Initially, we were not only concerned about the well being of our dear ones but also about the supply of daily necessities. Many of us were able to get the supplies by moving out following the official instructions. However there were many elderly people living alone, for whom it was quite impossible to go out and get the stocks. They were also not getting their regular home delivery services.
Keeping this in mind, NK Realtors & Mukti (an NGO) had come together to help such elderly people. They could call on the helpline 03340401010 and say "Hello Beta" to get the basic necessities delivered to their doorstep and the delivery was FREE. Deliveries were done for Medicines, Grocery, Vegetables & Drinking Water.
Due to feasibility issues of serving the entire city, we had served in and around the following areas - New Alipore, Tollygunge, Ballygunge, Garia, Ruby, Behala, Salt Lake, Kankurgachi & Shyambazar. We had the opportunity to serve about 1300 Senior Citizens from 30th March till 30th April 2020.
