Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)


"The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." - Mahatma Gandhi


"It is not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." - Mother Teresa


Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been one of SS International Live's avowed objectives right from its inception. We firmly believe that it is just not enough to focus only on our economic performance. We are fully aware of the need to work beyond that and make sure that we give back to the society for improving the quality of life of the needy. As a socially conscious corporate body, SS International Live reaches out to the underprivileged and deprived classes. To this end, we have been donating a part of the proceeds of our events to charitable organizations that are rendering yeoman service to the cause of imparting education to the underprivileged and special children, homes for destitute women and orphaned children.

Donations were given for 9 different organizations.
