Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) is the social responsibility arm of Lupin Limited, founded by Dr. Desh Bandu Gupta in 1988. In its journey spanning over three decades, the foundation has impacted more than 1.47 million beneficiaries across 4700 villages in 24 districts, spread across eight states in India.

Throughout its journey, the foundation has primarily focused on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and fostering economic growth in some of the most underdeveloped districts in India. It adopts a family-centered approach and initiates measures to help break the cycle of poverty, thus making a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of the beneficiaries.

The key drivers of this economic development have been structured, long-term programs and interventions in areas such as agriculture, animal husbandry, women's empowerment, and rural industries.

The foundation collaborates extensively with various government and non-government partners, international development agencies, and like-minded philanthropic organizations to mobilize additional resources and extend its reach to even more isolated and underserved populations. This effort covers a large majority of landless tribal, scheduled caste, and minority populations in the target areas.

Appeal

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are on the rise in India, with cardiovascular diseases being the leading cause of death, followed by chronic respiratory conditions. Rural communities face challenges in managing NCDs due to limited healthcare access and the high cost of private services, placing a heavy financial burden on families. Women are especially at risk, influenced by socio-economic and cultural barriers, low awareness, and inadequate health-seeking behaviors. Unhealthy lifestyle choices, including poor diets and lack of physical activity, combined with genetic factors, significantly contribute to NCD prevalence. Tackling these issues through focused education and enhanced healthcare access is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment.

The Lives program also known as Desh Bandhu Jan Aarogya Sewa is strategically tackling the growing challenges of NCDs by focusing on improving screening, treatment, awareness, and comprehensive management of specific conditions. These conditions include cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and diabetes in Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

The funds generated from the Tata Mumbai Marathon will be utilized to expand our program in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. This expansion is a key step toward achieving our overarching goal of reaching and positively impacting 200,000 individuals.

Project DescriptionAgriculture remains the primary occupation in rural India, and addressing the stagnation in this sector is essential for overall economic growth and sustainability. Farmers face numerous challenges, including low productivity, insufficient working capital, outdated farming technologies, and a lack of access to supportive institutions. To address these concerns, our approach focuses on enhancing productivity through the transfer of modern agricultural technologies, promoting crop diversification, and building robust farmer organizations that can support collective growth.

Additionally, LHWRF recognizes the importance of livestock, particularly for landless farmers, as a key source of income. To support this sector, we focus on productivity enhancement through breed improvement, capacity building, and the introduction of modern technology. We also promote livestock diversification and value chain development, which ensures a steady, year-round income for farmers while also serving as an effective risk management strategy against crop failures.

Funds generated from the TMM (Tata Mumbai Marathon) were allocated to various livelihood initiatives. These include interventions in agriculture, livestock, and other allied activities, alongside essential water conservation efforts. By integrating these approaches, we aim to increase rural incomes, improve food security, and contribute to sustainable rural development.
