Gautam Solar, a prominent player in the solar energy industry, has taken a significant step towards sustainable growth by conducting a series of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. The latest initiative involved the installation of solar street lights at the renowned Sri Aurobindo Ashram, a spiritual sanctuary for seekers of inner peace and enlightenment. This project not only aligns with the company’s vision of promoting clean energy but also contributes to the betterment of society and the environment.
The solar street lights were strategically placed in various locations, including the campus of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Delhi Branch, Van Niwas in Nainital, and Madhuban Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Ramgarh. The installations aim to illuminate these sacred spaces with technologically-advanced, natural solar lights, enhancing the spiritual experience of visitors while embracing renewable energy sources.
Tara Jauhar, also known as Tara Didi, a notable writer, educationist, and Padma Shri recipient, expressed her gratitude towards Gautam Solar for their support. She stated, “We are grateful to Gautam Solar for their continued support to Sri Aurobindo Ashram. These Solar Street Lights align perfectly with our principles of responsible living and spiritual growth. Our mission of creating a new common life superior to the present individual and common existence matches Gautam Solar’s mission of achieving sustainability through a paradigm shift to clean energy sources. By embracing renewable energy, we hope to inspire our community and the wider society to take steps towards a cleaner and brighter future.”
Gautam Mohanka, Chief Executive Officer of Gautam Solar Private Limited, emphasized their commitment to contributing to the country’s energy transition by providing clean energy to meet rising demands. He remarked, “Our aim is to make the magical environment at Sri Aurobindo Ashram keep shining with technologically-advanced, natural solar lights. Our primary endeavor has always been to be a major part of the country’s energy transition by providing clean energy to meet the country’s rising energy demands. Our CSR activity of providing solar lights at a serene place like the Sri Aurobindo Ashram is a small step in that direction.”
In addition to the solar light installations, Gautam Solar extended its philanthropic efforts in various sectors. A generous financial contribution was made to the Kutumb Foundation for the Qissagadh Active Library Program, which aims to empower less privileged youth of all ages through independent research, reading, and collaborative learning. The company also conducted a free preventive health check-up camp in collaboration with Dr Chopra’s Path Clinic, catering to people from low socio-economic strata at Shiv Mandir in Daulatpura, Ghaziabad. Furthermore, Gautam Solar launched an auto-rickshaw awareness and outreach campaign in New Delhi, promoting the hashtag #FightPollutionWithGautam, to raise awareness about combating pollution and embracing cleaner energy alternatives.
