Kinetic has initiated and runs a project called "Swapnabhoomi" (Dreamland) in Parbhani District of Maharashtra where a cluster of 150 villages have been adopted and are provided inputs for sanitation, literacy, vocational guidance, water conservation, irrigation, women's upliftment, village industries etc. These villages can aspire to be called ' ideal ' villages. |
Kinetic runs a special program for rehabilitation of leprosy afflicted persons. by way of curing, caring, training and providing gainful rehabilitation. This program has been sustained for over 15 years, which is indicative of the company’s commitment and focused approach to the cause of empowerment and rehabilitation of leprosy patients. |
Kinetic has formed a special alliance with Mission: Vijay II, a foundation that assists our country’s war heroes in rehabilitation. The alliance covers all ex-servicemen and war-wounded soldiers or their widows or families, and offers them an opportunity for earning livelihood after they are no longer able to serve in the army or have lost their family members. Through this alliance with Kinetic, the war wounded, ex-servicemen and war widows are offered an opportunity to set up Authorized Sales and Service stations for Kinetic. These would be set up in the Tehsils or villages across the country. They will earn commission on all sales and also income from servicing of Kinetic’s two wheelers. Kinetic will extend all training and support required for them to carry out this activity. The alliance has been formed on a national level, so the program is open across the country. Kinetic has sold over 60 lakh vehicles across India, so this program can generate sizeable income. |
In addition to these three on-going programs, we also donate cash or assistance at times of emergency. For example, we had donated financial assistance to Latur village when it was devastated by an earthquake. We have also specially modified and donated scooters to soldiers who lost their legs in the Kargil War. These scooters are modified so as to help them get around despite their disability.
