    Employee Volunteering
    At Reliance, volunteering has been one of the main avenues
    of giving back to the community. It became more significant
    than ever for us this year as we aimed to cultivate a spirit of
    resilience during the pandemic.

    This year, Reliance Foundation continued with the virtual
    mode of volunteering and expanded it to newer areas of
    engagement, in order to address present needs as well
    as anticipate future challenges. Reliance Foundation has
    designed these programmes in a way that harnesses the
    skills of its resources and the wealth of expertise within the
    organisation. It adopted a particular focus on education,
    youth-oriented programmes and capacity-building of social
    organisations. These volunteering initiatives have been
    developed in alignment with the goals of Reliance and the UN
    Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and have touched the
    lives of more than 20,000 people  as of December 2021.
