L&T was founded in 1938 by two Danish engineers in India and contributed to India's development, including support during World War 2. It has focused its CSR efforts on poverty alleviation, education, health, gender equity, and the environment. In recent years it has spent around 2% of average net profit on CSR initiatives targeting these areas as well as COVID-19 relief. These initiatives include early childhood education, health centers, and maternal health programs. The report recommends L&T increase awareness of its large-scale philanthropic work.

7. Confidence building begins from
Library
“I can see a difference
between children who are
part of this group and the
ones who are not. While
other children are quite shy
and run away when they see
an unknown person coming
to interact with them, those
children who are part of the
library group can face an
outsider without fear.”
-Vijay

Targeted health interventions

9. Geeta’s journey towards a
healthy pregnancy
“I was not aware about
these tablets and never
considered it an important
aspect for my health and my
child’s future. But now I am
completely focused on being
healthy for myself and my
children.”
- Geeta

10. Conclusion & Recommendation
L&T has contributed a lot to the society in various sectors with their
continuous beneficiary projects and we hope it will increase its spending in
philanthropic activities in near future.
We recommend it to spread awareness about its philanthropic work as it is
contributing on a large scale in its own capacity( like in pandemic) without
being in the public eye.
