Toyota Kirloskar Motor Enhances Education And Healthcare Infrastructure In Raichur Under Its CSR Program.

Bengaluru, Karnataka, 17th of April 2025 : Reinforcing its commitment to quality education and holistic community development, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has taken a significant step to empower communities in Raichur district, Karnataka. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, TKM has extended vital educational and healthcare infrastructure support to address persistent developmental challenges in Raichur, an Aspirational District identified by NITI Aayog.

Raichur continues to grapple with gaps in access to quality education and healthcare, largely due to limited infrastructure. To bridge these gaps, TKM has undertaken targeted initiatives to address the fundamental social needs, aimed at strengthening learning environments in government schools and improving maternal and child healthcare services—driving inclusive and long-term impact.

In the education sector, TKM has supported schools across the district with classroom furniture, water dispensers, and kitchen utilities to create more conducive and engaging learning spaces. These efforts have directly benefitted 66,342 students in Raichur this year, contributing to a cumulative impact of 2,63,373 students across various project locations to date.

On the healthcare front, TKM has significantly enhanced the capabilities of government hospitals by equipping the Mother & Child Center in Raichur with a wide range of critical and diagnostic medical equipment. This intervention is expected to provide the basic medical facilities in the district, thereby ensuring the facilities are accessible to the community. Enabling early detection and management of health issues, lower the risk of complicated pregnancies, and improve access to quality antenatal and postnatal care for thousands of families.

The medical support includes essential life-saving equipment such as defibrillators, ICU cots, syringe pumps, resuscitation kits, and surgical instrument sets. Diagnostic tools provided include a haematology analyser, USG scanner with Doppler and echo features, hormone analysers, ECG machines, and systems for screening auditory functions. General medical infrastructure has also been strengthened with additions like a stretcher trolley, OT trolleys, ILR, blood bag sealer, ALS ambulance, and a wheelchair.

These healthcare initiatives have benefitted over 18,000 community members in Raichur this year, taking the total cumulative health beneficiaries across project locations to 19,20,429 individuals—underscoring TKM’s ongoing dedication to building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.

Sharing his thoughts, Mr. Sudeep Dalvi, Chief Communication Officer, Senior Vice President and Head State Affairs, stated, “At Toyota Kirloskar Motor, we believe true progress goes beyond economic milestones—it lies in uplifting the communities we serve. Guided by our philosophy of ‘Growing Together,’ our CSR efforts focus on creating sustainable impact by addressing critical local needs. In Raichur, we’ve enhanced educational infrastructure by providing essential resources like furniture, clean drinking water, and kitchen utilities to support better learning environments. Simultaneously, we’ve strengthened maternal and child healthcare by equipping the Mother & Child Center with advanced diagnostic and life-saving medical equipment, ensuring timely and quality care. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to building ‘ever-better communities’ alongside ‘ever-better cars,’ creating meaningful change today and for the future.”

TKM’s commitment is guided by its core philosophy of “growing together,” reflecting its broader vision of not only manufacturing “ever-better cars” but also fostering “ever-better communities.” With this dual focus, the company aims to drive inclusive growth and contribute to the well-being and “Happier paths Together”.
