Partnering with stakeholders for elephant conservation
Delta India consistently allocates part of its resources each year to sustainable public welfare projects aimed at enhancing the environmental and social quality of areas surrounding its facilities. Beyond regulatory compliance, Delta India seeks to foster connections and engagement with local communities by sponsoring local initiatives and supporting community infrastructure development, while also strengthening CSR awareness within the organization. In 2024, Delta India, in collaboration with stakeholders, launched a five-year elephant conservation initiative in the Hosur Forest Division near its new headquarters and R&D center in Bengaluru. By channeling water from nearby communities to artificial ponds, the project helps sustain the elephants' natural habitat, benefiting an estimated 225 to 250 elephants by ensuring access to stable water sources.

The Hosur Forest Division, located in India’s Krishnagiri District, is surrounded by protected areas and is home to numerous rare, endemic, and endangered plant and animal species, serving as a critical habitat for elephants. However, during the summer months, most of the natural waterholes in the forest dry up, leading to severe water shortages. As a result, elephants are often forced to venture outside the protected areas into farmlands in search of water, triggering human-elephant conflicts that result in crop damage, injuries, and property losses. To mitigate these challenges, Delta India, through its CSR fund, supports the Hosur Forest Division in habitat management initiatives. These efforts include constructing artificial water tanks, inspecting and maintaining check dams, and clearing silt from waterholes. By enhancing the availability of water within the forest, the project aims to create a more livable habitat for elephants, reducing the likelihood of them encroaching into neighboring rural areas and fostering harmony between local communities and the ecosystem.Delta India has initiated an elephant conservation project in the Hosur Forest Division to assist in maintaining the elephant habitat ecosystem.

Breaking down physical barriers to learning
Beginning in 2025, Delta India has been extending its sustainability efforts to schools by investing resources in the improvement of rural public school facilities near its new headquarters and R&D center for two consecutive years. In India, students’ access to education is often hindered by a lack of basic sanitation, inadequate learning environments, and insufficient campus safety measures. Delta India aims to create an environment where education is no longer obstructed by physical limitations, addressing the long-standing challenges faced by Indian students. Delta India aims to actively support several schools over the two-year period, upgrading essential hygiene and safety infrastructure to benefit up to 1,000 students.

First, recognizing the lack of sanitary facilities in schools, which poses challenges for local students (especially female students) when using the restroom, Delta India has assisted in the construction of a new restroom area to improve hygiene conditions and to ensure privacy and dignity for over 500 students when using restrooms. This project has received positive feedback from the local government and community, prompting Delta India to continue assisting another school in constructing restroom and urinal facilities, as well as maintaining reverse osmosis systems to provide safe, clean drinking water. This project also improves campus safety by paving pathways at the school entrance, building walls between classrooms, and installing security gates.Delta India constructed new restroom facilities on local campuses to improve sanitation conditions.

Recently, Delta India has expanded its campus facility improvement plan to Karnataka State. Currently, a significant infrastructure development project is underway, which includes the construction of two new classrooms and a fully equipped library, the installation of paving stones to enhance the campus environment, and the construction of low connecting walls. The goal is to create an inclusive, safe, and empowering learning space for students.

Delta India firmly believes that corporate social responsibility is rooted in community engagement. Through its elephant conservation and campus infrastructure initiatives, the company actively supports the UN SDGs and strives to build lasting partnerships with local communities to promote sustainable development in the region.
