Our philosophy has been that we will work intensively with communities which neighbour our businesses to enhance quality of life. It is with this vision that we started work in Rajam, near our Jute and Sugar operations in 1991, to bring quality education to the communities there. </p> <p>It has been a long journey since then. Today, the GMR Group has an international presence and has ventured into the Airports, Energy, Highways and Urban Infrastructure sectors. But the basic philosophy of our CSR has remained the same. With the growth of the Group, the Corporate Social Responsibility has also grown in scale and scope, and today GMR Varalakshmi Foundation has a presence in 17 locations across the country. We work with the under-served sections of the communities in each of these locations, looking at Education; Health, Hygiene and Sanitation; Empowerment and Livelihoods and Community development. Social responsibility is also one of the seven core values of the Group.</p> </div> <div class="ceo_sign_cont"> <h1>G M Rao</h1> <p class="ceo-medium">Group Chairman, GMR Group</p> </div> <div class="d-inline-block align-middle btns bodmargin"> <a href="https://gmrvf.gmrgroup.in/board-of-directors" target="_blank" class="tfive-readmore videopopstyle btn btn-primary btn-sm bold head4 text-uppercase"> <span class="d-inline-block align-middle">Meet Our Board of Directors</span> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-6"> <div class="ceo_right"> <img src="assets/images/home/rao-photo.png" class="img-fluid"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="our-jou"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <h1>Our Journey</h1> <div class="our-joutetx"> <p>GMR Group's philanthropic activities started way back in 1993.
