What we do?

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) undergirds Kaar’s very existence. Needless to say, this is a critical aspect of our endeavour to create value for the society. Kaar Technologies’ motivation is to go beyond the premises of conventional business philosophies through CSR initiatives.

Kaar’s CSR wing, ‘Kaar Arakattalai’ (KA), is therefore meant as a driver of positive social impact and economic growth. In the past, KA has contributed to numerous welfare programs and meticulously carried out many CSR programmes, which include the funding of care centres for senior citizens, autistic children and HIV affected children, in addition to orphanages and homes for the destitute. KA continues to support underprivileged students throughout Tamil Nadu by awarding educational scholarships every academic year. 

In line with Kaar’s tradition of promoting social responsibility befitting a good citizen among its employees, they’re encouraged to participate in as many volunteering programmes as possible. KA has plans to launch a series of CSR initiatives like organizing blood donation camps, dental camps, organ donation awareness drives, eco-friendliness campaigns, humanitarian visits to old age homes/orphanages and on-the-ground relief help during natural disasters etc,
