Gati is a socially responsible company. Through a number of initiatives, we have tried to make a difference to the lives of people around us. Here is an account of the work we have done so far.
Maye village, Bhuj district, Gujarat
26 January 2001: Gujarat is hit by a massive earthquake. Bhuj district is the worst affected. Gati personnel sprang into action and reached Maye village the same day to provide food, clothing, medication and water to the earthquake-affected community. A team of doctors was also brought in to provide medical aid to the 400 families in Maye. Gati was the first to build makeshift houses for these families – houses that were scientifically designed to resist earthquakes. Even today, though the villagers have managed to rebuild their homes, they still retain these structures.
Gati Government School, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
In 2003, Gati agreed to develop a government school located at Banjara Hills. As a contribution to the government’s Janmabhoomi program, Gati built a school building with all necessary facilities — spacious classrooms, toilets and staff rooms. The building has 27 rooms and a playground. Gati also provided the furniture for school students and staff. Today the school strength stands at 1100 students. The housekeeping and security of the school is still under our purview.
Tsunami relief fund
The tsunami that struck South East.Asia on December 2004 was one of nature’s worst disasters ever. It left in its wake more than 10 lakh people dead and over four million displaced. The tsunami relief operations have been hailed as one of the fastest and most massive operations ever. Gati was one of the first to reach the rescue scenes at Nagapattnam and Cuddalore. Gati brought in food, water, clothing, medication and a team of doctors.The team took special care of children, who were the most affected. Gati also provided the affected community with essential utensils like plates, glasses etc.
MC High School, Nagore, Tamil Nadu
After rehabilitating tsunami-affected people at Nagapattnam and Cuddalore, Gati undertook a related project – the development of the MC High School at Nagore. This school includes about 500 students who belong to tsunami-affected families. Gati has already started work on constructing a building with 18 rooms, a kitchen and toilets. More development work is in the process.Gati has also actively participated in the Kargil contributions, as well as rescue and rehabilitation works for other natural disasters in India. We are proud to be a socially responsible corporate citizen of India
