In line with a strong family culture and the value of giving back to society, the management established The Sri Ram Charitable Trust (SRCT) in 1987. The trust is registered as a voluntary organization under the Income Tax Act and has 12A, 80G, MCA-CSR Form 1, Darpan – Niti Aayog, and FCRA registrations.
The initiatives undertaken by Thermosystems Private Limited through SRCT align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-4 and SDG-5) and have been 100% funded by Thermo Group, whose companies contribute 2% of their average yearly net profits to the Trust.
To bring sustainable change to the lives of the rural and underprivileged.
To adopt villages and their surrounding hamlets and empower children, youth, and women through education, healthcare, and livelihood promotion.
Our healthcare programs focus on both preventive and curative measures, primarily serving rural populations. Preventive care includes providing safe drinking water and educating communities on nutritious food. As a curative measure, we assist with medical treatments for individuals and organize medical camps. We also provide direct assistance for establishing hospitals.
SRCT conducts short-term skill development programs for women and girls in tailoring, computers, and beautician courses in areas surrounding Thermosystems factories and villages near the KGVV school. Well-qualified trainers conduct classes during non-agricultural seasons. Many women now save money by stitching for their families, while some earn additional income by providing tailoring services to others.
A call for gender equality and harmony, was launched in October 2020 and has since reached more than 15,000 adolescents across 61 government and low-budget educational institutions. The initiative has two components:
The program features Champions, passionate individuals who support their peers in the community. These Champions receive additional training to continue empowering others. The AHWAAHAN Consortium consists of CSR groups and individuals committed to building gender-equal and harmonious communities
Thermo Cables Limited and SRCT prioritize immediate response to natural disasters. Between 1996 and 2022, we provided relief during major disasters through employee contributions, matched by the company, and in partnership with other organizations. Employees often formed distribution teams to deliver relief directly to those in need.
SRCT also collaborates annually with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), providing drinking water centers in industrial areas during extreme summers. We distribute footwear and umbrellas to the elderly and blankets during cold waves.
Environment Protection
SRCT supports Gowshalas for the protection of indigenous cattle breeds. Thermosystems staff and KGVV students regularly participate in Haritha Haram and other tree-planting initiatives to promote greenery.
Sports
Thermosystems promotes sports among economically disadvantaged communities. We have provided financial assistance for football coaching in three government schools in Tamil Nadu, while table tennis coaching has helped students compete in state championships. SRCT has recently developed sports hubs in government schools in Jadcherla and Rajapur, supplying equipment for volleyball, football, kho-kho, kabaddi, chess, and carrom.
