Their CSR & Affirmative Action effort has been focused on addressing this gap. They build capacities of institutions that serve the youth from poor socio-economic backgrounds & remote hinterlands and run industry relevant vocational training programmed that benefit such youth who drop out from the traditional educational system.

Taj hotels teams work behind the scenes to maximize resource efficiency in each hotel, ensuring that water and energy are used judiciously, and waste is reduced. To enable guests to enjoy their stay while limiting their carbon footprint, they maximize their use of renewable energy, invest in water efficient infrastructure and constantly work towards ambitious targets for emissions reduction. Taj hotels in environmentally- sensitive areas near natural parks, forests and fragile coastlines are constructed using local materials and eco-friendly design. Through projects for turtle conservation and coral reef restoration, They provide opportunity to guest to participate in preserving the natural beauty of the locations they visit. In the last year alone, all these efforts have resulted in more than 58,000 tons of CO2 emissions avoided and more than 3.2 million kiloliters of water reused and recycled.
