The Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation
On 2 October 1988, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, Lupin Chairman Dr Desh Bandhu Gupta founded the Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF). Its brief to provide an alternative, sustainable and replicable model of rural development.
A program that began modestly with 35 villages has succeeded in revitalizing more than 1919 villages in 11 districts in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh to become one of the largest NGOs in India.
For every rupee spent by Lupin, LHWRF’s efforts have attracted more than Rs.9 of contribution from other agencies and individuals. India’s central and state governments, the UN, and other international voluntary agencies have appreciated the LHWRF’s grassroots work.

Some of Lupin’s contributions to the fight against this killer disease:

�100 TB camps across India in 2002-03, where Lupin sponsored patient diagnosis with sputum testing and X-rays. Public awareness was created through extensive campaigning with the local communities-up to 200 people turned up for single camps in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Our film on TB was shown at all these camps
�Almost every TB-treating doctor has educational posters, created by Lupin, in patients’ waiting rooms
�In December, Lupin would be distributing post-it notes on patient education to be handed over by doctors to patients suffering from TB
