Focus Areas

Our CSR programs are focused on two core areas: elderly care and education. In partnership with HelpAge India, we work towards improving the lives of senior citizens by restoring vision and offering medical support. In education, we invest in transforming school infrastructures, creating nurturing environments.

Below are our key focus areas.

Transforming School

Initiated by The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra, we support in transforming school spaces of government schools by redeveloping, renovating and upgrading their infrastructure, creating safer and modern learning spaces that foster student growth and development.

School Renovation & Refurbishment

As part of the Saksham initiative, we are actively supporting the development, renovation, and upgradation of three government schools in Agra through civil construction, infrastructure maintenance, and facility improvements. Significant civil work has been completed to redevelop and refurbish selected government schools.

Key activities under this project include painting classrooms to improve the learning environment, upgrading washroom facilities for better student hygiene, overhauling drainage systems for improved infrastructure, and equipping classrooms with new benches, chairs, and blackboards. The project also involves the demolition and clearing of outdated structures in the central courtyard, building modern libraries and science labs to inspire learning, distributing new uniforms, notebooks, and stationery for all students, refurbishing ceilings and walls for improved classroom conditions, and constructing a new play area to encourage outdoor activity.

Vision Restoration Support Program – HelpAge India

Svara Hotels Limited, through The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra, has partnered with HelpAge India to help eradicate preventable blindness and give the gift of sight to many elderly people.

Eye Care Support Program

Eye Care Support Program

In India, 13 million people are visually impaired, with 8.1 million suffering from cataracts, 2.6 million from refractive errors, and just one ophthalmologist for every 100,000 people. Sadly, many of these individuals cannot afford or access the treatment they desperately need. This is where we believe it’s our responsibility to step in and make a difference. Through our Saksham initiative, we are dedicated to supporting elderly citizens, helping them access the care and facilities they deserve. We are proud and grateful to see our hotel employees volunteering with passion and dedication to bring this vision to life, offering their time and compassion to those in need.
