Industries should give opportunities to special individuals: Subhash Chuttar

Pune, 17th April 2025: If Special Individuals are provided with job opportunities, they are most likely to perform well, which in turn can benefit both the individual and the company. A good message can be conveyed to society through this; hence, industries are expected to step forward for such contribution, said Subhash Chuttar,Presidential Awardee, social reformer.

The third CSR Film Festival and award distribution ceremony, organized by the Socio CSR Institute, was conducted at the hands of Subhash Chuttar, during which he was speaking. Raviraj Realty’s founder-president Ravindra Sankla, Bharati Vidyapeeth MSW Department Director Dr. Anita Mohite, Adv. Chetan Gandhi, Saraswati Mehta, and other dignitaries were present on this occasion.

For this festival, 36 entries were received from various groups. Out of them, 21 CSR films were honored in the program organized at Hotel Ramee Grand on Apte Road.

Subhash Chuttar conveyed that through his own experience in his company, he has witnessed special kids working passionately. However, he often wonders who will provide these kids with opportunities. The number of business enterprises in our country is constantly increasing, so if industries provide work opportunities to such children as part of their social responsibility, it can benefit both them and society. Therefore, there is a need for industries to step forward.

Sankla stated that through CSR, there’s a way to deliver high-quality work. If dedicated efforts are made, it can help transform society. These values were reflected in the films presented at the CSR Film Festival.
