Social Involvements of the Kalpataru Group:
The Kalpataru group is firmly committed to the community and we continually dedicate resources to giving back to that community that has given us so much. We undertake several projects for social causes.
The Munot Foundation had recently organised an �Osteopathy Camp� from April 6, 2007 to April 9, 2007 at Kalpataru Synergy in Mumbai. Renowned Osteopath from Jodhpur, Dr. Govardhanlalji Parashar and his associates, had rendered their services for the camp. Treatment at the camp was offered without any charge.
Dr. Goverdhanlal Parashar, a practitioner of alternative medicinal therapy using ayurveda, has done his Doctorate in Ayurvedic Medicine (gold medalist) from Allahabad University. For treatment Dr. Parashar uses Osteopathy which is a unique method of treating the patients with bone, nerve and muscular disorder without any oral medicine. He specializes in the healing of Slip Disc, Cervical Spondylosis, Thyroid, Hormonal Imbalance, Calcium Deficiency, Frozen Shoulder, Muscle Problems, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Cerebral Palsy, Migraine, Ligament Tear, Prostate Sciatica, Diabetes, Height Problem and Obesity to name a few.
Over 375 patients were treated during the 4 day camp. Dr. Parashar and his team were on the job throughout the day and worked for more than 15 hours a day with just one break in between. Overall, patients were very much satisfied with the treatment and felt a miraculous change in their problems they were suffering. The camp was a huge success.
We undertake beautification and maintenance of city roads and traffic islands to improve the cityscape throughout the city.
We provide and maintain road dividers for added road safety.
One of our projects, Kalpataru Heights was awarded the “Best Illuminated Building” award as part of the City Beautifying Drive, 31st December 1999. This drive was organized by an NGO.
We are devoted to fostering the next generation, and instilling in them understanding and responsibility that is part of developing an urban landscape. To this end, we invite educational institutions to visit our projects, and help the younger generation understand how new technologies can be used responsibly to build a better future for our cities.

We organized a workshop for students all over India at IIT Kanpur, and made arrangements for the students to visit Kalpataru sites.

We have Mobile Cr�ches, organized by an NGO, at a number of our sites. These Mobile Cr�ches take care of the construction workers’ children and educate them while their parents work on the site.
We help to improve the standard of living among the underprivileged, and give them a chance for a better tomorrow. Kalpataru provides educational infrastructure and textbooks and notebooks for needy students. We also help provide means of livelihood to the widows and elderly by giving them sewing machines free of cost.
The Munot Foundation, a public charitable trust, created by Mr. Mofatraj Munot in September 1988 is instrumental in carrying out social and charitable work. Under the Foundation’s auspices, numerous acts of charity have been carried out.
An electric substation was built to serve the towns of Nakshatrana and Khedoi in Gujrat after the 2001 earthquake.
