Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) Policy
At Aress, we create an enhanced experience for users the world over. However, we believe that the important part of our process is how we do it not only within the work environment but outside of it. We believe that we are all responsible for our actions and must be accountable. Our corporate ethos was developed by our top management and is highly promoted within our employee base.
And honesty as we would expect to be treated ourselves, regardless of whether you want to hear the news or not.
At Aress we believe that it is not only what we do that is important but how we do it – both in and outside of the work environment. As a company and as individuals, we all take responsibility for our actions and are accountable for their consequences. But the tone is set by the corporate ethos - as expressed by Aress’ top management - and we encourage our employees to express our values in their actions.
Aress strongly promotes initiative within areas of social responsibility. We involve our staff in a variety of causes and have provided 65 volunteer days to charitable projects within our areas. Below, we outline a few examples of the outstanding work our team has provided.
Aress is purchasing paper cups made at V Excel Educational Trust by 'differently-abled' youth. This initiative by Aress strives to extend comprehensive and professional support to the people with special needs, to help develop their latent talent.
This is Payal Chawla, a young lady with multiple disabilities whose training you have been supporting for the last 3 years. It's very heartening to see her independently carry out an activity involved in making of the paper cups.
This is Dheeraj, another young man who is fatherless and his mother struggles to make both ends meet, and you are supporting his training too. He has also learnt the skill.
To top it all, Aress is buying the paper cups made by these trainees, which is the biggest benefit 😊😊. Thank you Rahul. We are all deeply indebted to your generosity and kindness. God bless you and your family. 🙏
For fulfilling its social obligations towards the local society, Aress Software and Education Technologies Pvt. Ltd. through it social arm, Aress Foundation has collaborated with Shri Guruji Rugnalaya located at Gangapur Road, Nasik for improving the facilities at the Hospital.
Apart from providing the ventilators, Aress also felt the need to collaborate with Shree Guruji Rugnalaya in its endeavor to expand its capacity from 65 beds to 100 beds.
As a first step, Aress collaborated by providing a Semi Special Room to the Hospital at their Newly Extended 3rd Floor.
Aress Software and Education Technologies has been a committed partner in this humble initiative of V-Excel, which aims to educate and empower individuals with developmental disabilities. Aress has consistently supported V-Excel from the year 2015. More than 40% of their children come from economically disadvantaged homes and do not get the services they need to take steps towards independent living. Aress has readily supported V-Excel to make their services possible, ensure that their students and trainees receive an optimal level of care, and guarantee that Aress -V-Excel can offer sponsorships to children and their families who could not, otherwise, afford these life-enhancing activities.
To be precise, here is a list of areas that Aress has extended its support to V-Excel Educational Trust in Nashik:
Aress Foundation is supporting Samriddhi Bal Vidya Mandir at Roopwas Bharatpur, an initiative of GRAM Niyojan Kendra, aimed at prevention of child trafficking through education. This initiative, which started as a childcare centre, is now a secondary school. The school covers 27 villages surrounding Roopwas tehsil and has children from various communities attending the school. A significant number of families in these villages are engaged in commercial sex work and pimping of women for prostitution.
The activities supported by Aress Foundation include:
Founded in 1948 by Baba Amte, a social activist, Anandwan is a community rehabilitation and ashram for patients affected by leprosy, as well as disabled individuals with little to no support in their community. Anandwan is now run by the Maharogi Seva Samiti and functions as a self contained, self sufficient community. Residents can generate income t hrough the home-based industry units housed within.
Anandwan, through its multiple projects and diverse initiatives in healthcare, formal and vocational education, agriculture, development of land and water resource, employment, empowerment and youth sensitization, not only achieved self-sustaining economy but helped people to regain their self-respect. It brought smiles to millions of faces.
This unique rally features participants who are accompanied by a blind person who navigates routes using a Braille chart. The route features checkpoints and time trails and is run in the spirit of a professional rally, often having up to 100 competing teams. The rally encourages the reduction of illiteracy and brings awareness to the challenges imposed on the visually impaired.

Blind Man Rally is now considered to be one of the 10 top car rallies in India and Aress is proud to have been a sponsor of the event since 2009.
Aress is a socially responsible organization and is committed to the upliftment and betterment of underprivileged and marginalized communities. This is achieved through the CSR initiatives of the organization.
Apart from financial support for the CSR programs, the organization also provides its highly skilled manpower and other resources to train youths of urban and rural areas, belonging to the less privileged and marginalized sections of the society.
The emphasis is not just to train the youths, but to also provide them with good boarding and lodging facilities during the training and employment opportunities post the training, so that they not only become economically independent but gradually become a part of the mainstream society.
As part of our CSR initiatives we have successfully conducted and completed various placement linked training programs. Even now there are ongoing skill development programs and more lined up in future.
We have successfully conducted and completed the Udaan Project with NSDC. This was an initiative by the Ministry of Home Affairs (Govt. of India) and NSDC with participation from leading corporates.

Under Udaan, we trained more than 450 youths (Boys and Girls) and placed more than 340 students belonging to the state of J & K. Students from J & K were provided with 6 months of residential training cum placement program. This training was completely free of cost to students and they didn’t have to pay any expenses towards commuting or training. The cost of Entire infra and highly skilled professional trainers was borne by Aress. Lodging, boarding was partially supported by the Govt of India.

NDLM was an initiative of Govt. Of India for all the States/UTs across the country under PPP Model. Objective of this initiative was to ensure that the non-IT literate citizens are trained to become IT literate to enable them to participate actively and effectively in the democratic and developmental process.

The Zeal and Commitment Continues:
Under PPP model, our journey as a socially responsible organisation that is committed to upliftment of marginalized & economically weaker section of society i.e. people belonging to BPL (Below Poverty Line) category in rural areas, has gained momentum & is already helping beneficiaries in the state of U.P. & M.P. We plan to further strengthen our initiatives by reaching out to other states like J & K, Maharashtra and North East States of India.
Currently Aress has taken the responsibility of providing placement linked residential training to over 1500+ BPL candidates in the states of UP and MP over next 3 years. The process of identifying more BPL beneficiaries across different states is simultaneously on and we hope to start similar training for the beneficiaries of J & K state by the end of this year.
Aress is not just aiming at training the candidates, but the endeavor is to provide sustainable, meaningful livelihood opportunities to at least 70% to 80% beneficiaries under DDU-GKY. While the program is funded by the MoRD, Aress thru its CSR initiative ensures that high quality trainers, additional facilities, sessions, recreational activities and support functions other than the ones specified by MoRD are provided to beneficiaries.
