CSR & Impact Programmes

Our CSR programmes are built around clearly identified community needs and measurable outcomes. We work with corporate partners to plan, implement and monitor programmes across education, healthcare, environment, women’s livelihoods and community development.

From converting plastic waste into school furniture to improving vision, healthcare access and school infrastructure, our CSR partnerships aim to create impact that communities can see and experience.

Eye Health & Vision Care

OneSight EssilorLuxottica | 2023–2026

Helping people see better, learn better and live better.

Undiagnosed vision problems can affect a child's education, an adult's livelihood and an entire family's quality of life. For underserved communities, accessing regular eye care can be difficult.

Through our partnership with OneSight EssilorLuxottica, Upkriti conducts free eye screening programmes across schools, rural communities, construction sites, coffee estates, migrant settlements and other underserved locations.

The programme follows a complete pathway, from screening and professional examination to identifying vision problems and providing corrective spectacles. Beneficiaries requiring further medical attention are guided towards appropriate care.

Impact at a glance

45,000+ individuals screened
10,738+ corrective interventions facilitated through free spectacles

2,170 spectacles distributed to school children
12,064 rural community members screened
1,920 spectacles distributed
24,734 migrant labourers & workers screened

The programme is about more than correcting eyesight. It is about helping children learn without limitation, helping workers perform their jobs safely and helping families access care that may otherwise remain out of reach.

Recycled Desks & Benches

What begins as discarded plastic can become something valuable for a child, a desk, a bench and a better place to learn.

School Renovation & Infrastructure

For children, a safe and functional school is the foundation for learning. Yet many government schools continue to operate with ageing infrastructure and facilities that need repair or improvement.

Women’s Skill Development & Livelihoods

Economic empowerment begins with opportunity. Upkriti's women empowerment programmes focus on giving women practical skills that can be converted into income and greater financial independence.

Gender Equality & Awareness

Gender equality begins with awareness. Our gender equality programmes create spaces for students and young people to discuss gender roles, stereotypes, equal opportunities, respect and inclusion.

Children & Student Welfare

Education is not limited to textbooks and examinations. Children also need opportunities to play, create, explore, stay healthy and develop confidence.

Health & Medical Assistance

For people living in remote areas, accessing regular healthcare can mean travelling long distances. This becomes particularly difficult for patients who require recurring treatments such as dialysis.
