Under the aegis of the Hartek Group, this voluntary organisation aims to empower communities by adopting villages, lighting up rural households with rooftop solar plants and solar street lights and hiring specially-abled candidates.

In the field of education, the Hartek Foundation plans to introduce a flagship scholarship programme for engineering students, set up an incubation centre with innovation labs to encourage budding entrepreneurs and support school-going children's education by providing them books and stationery.

The Hartek Group has taken it upon itself to combat climate change by encouraging the adoption of green energy through its innovative rooftop solar solutions.

The Hartek Foundation will also empower women by sponsoring special education facilities for women and enhancing their employability through training/skill development programmes and self-help groups.
