The company is currently working on creating an entire township near Nasik which will provide free housing for the homeless and the sick. Plans include old age homes, shelters for homeless children and women and medical facilities for cancer and leprosy patients. Over 50,000 people will be provided homes, jobs and medical aid free of cost. They will also be given job opportunities with a vision to help them become self-sufficient.
The company is setting up several schools in rural India which will provide quality education to the poor at no cost. The group believes in helping the underprivileged with support wherever possible. It has already helped in arranging hundreds of marriages in Rajasthan and has supported many people in getting jobs.
The company also has plans to set up a devotional centre over 100 acres in and near Aurangabad. This centre will have exact replicas of the 12 Jyotirlingas in one place since many devotees who believe in Shiva are unable to visit all the holy sites. This will enable them to pay homage at one place.
A passionate focus area for the group is sports and the group hopes to help steer Indian sport to a brighter future.
