Project Nature Restoration
Improved Cookstove Project
Bajaj Electricals Foundation’s flagship initiatives - the Swasth Ghar Improved Cookstove Project and the Eco Jyoti Improved Cookstove Project, reflect our commitment to driving meaningful and sustainable impact. Through these initiatives, 8,000 improved cookstoves have been distributed across the Karauli and Sawai Madhopur districts of Rajasthan, and 6,000 cookstoves in Jawhar, Maharashtra. The projects aim to reduce firewood consumption, mitigate indoor air pollution, and lower CO₂ emissions, thereby addressing critical environmental and health challenges. The distribution of 8,000 improves cookstoves in Rajasthan is projected to reduce approximately 222,711 tCO₂e over five years, driving meaningful climate action and fostering long-term environmental sustainability. Beyond environmental benefits, the initiatives contribute significantly to improving the quality of life in rural communities. Through focused and responsible action, Bajaj Electricals Foundation continues to work towards a more sustainable future—one that supports a healthier planet and enhanced well being for all.

Planting Hope for a Better Planet
We actively engage our employees in tree plantation and urban forestation initiatives, fostering a strong culture of environmental responsibility across the organisation. Working in collaboration with local community based organisations and NGOs, we amplify the reach and impact of these efforts. Our focus remains on planting native tree species that are well suited to the local climate and ecosystem, ensuring long term survival while preserving ecological balance. The urban forestation projects are implemented across educational institutions, public spaces, and community areas. Over the last decade, we have planted over 5 Lakh+ trees, enhancing green cover and contributing meaningfully to a more sustainable and green future.

Project Green Energy
Lighting Up Lives
Our solar electrification projects address energy poverty and environmental sustainability by providing clean, reliable, and affordable electricity to underserved communities. In collaboration with local stakeholders, NGOs, and government agencies, we install solar panels, energy storage systems, and distribution networks tailored to community needs. This initiative improves healthcare, education, and overall quality of life. To date, we have successfully implemented solar electrification at 200 households, 29 government schools, 16 Anganwadi centres and 1 primary healthcare centre benefiting over 5,000 individuals. These projects ensure reliable power for lighting, cooling, and essential services, transforming learning and healthcare environments

Project Resource Reborn
Giving Resources a New Life
Bajaj Electricals Foundation is undertaking meaningful initiatives to empower women while advancing sustainability through innovative upcycling solutions. The Foundation has supported upcycling programs across Pune, Shillong, and Chennai, where women from low‑income communities are trained in traditional charkha and handloom techniques. Through these skills, participants transform discarded plastic into eco-friendly products and repurpose textile waste into essential items for rural daily‑use kits. These initiatives not only enable livelihood generation and skill development among women but also promote responsible waste management and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

Kalanand
The Kalanand Arts Grant Programme supports emerging Indian artists by providing financial aid and recognition. Open to both formally educated and self-taught artists, it helps them pursue their passion and build careers. The programme also offers a platform for artists to showcase and sell their work through an annual exhibition.
Balanand & Samanand
The Balanand programme fosters creativity in students aged 9-12 by integrating arts-based value education, encouraging self-expression through painting, music, poetry, and more. It enhances creative skills, promotes mindfulness, and raises environmental awareness using recycled materials. It also empowers students to think innovatively. The Samanand programme trains teachers to implement Balanand’s creative learning methods, fostering inclusive, holistic education for all students.
Sadanand
Sadanand connects Kalanand artists with senior citizens in old age homes, creating shared artistic experiences that foster connection, happiness, and compassion. Implemented across Maharashtra, this programme brings joy to both generations, enhancing emotional well-being and promoting intergenerational understanding.
Weaving Heritage
Bajaj Electrical Foundation supported the preservation and revival of Bihar’s traditional handloom heritage by strengthening skill development, enhancing production capacities, and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for weavers and women engaged in cotton spinning. The Foundation also supported the development of a digital marketplace that enabled rural women artisans in Kutch, Gujarat, to access wider markets and sell handcrafted products made from upcycled plastic waste. This initiative enhanced their financial stability while promoting sustainable livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
