Overview
A comprehensive urban CSR program, Uday fosters equitable and sustainable development of the city’s most vulnerable populace. Designing an integrated solution to break the vicious cycle of urban poverty, Uday is empowering not just individuals, it works to uplift entire families. Operational in 11 cities where HCLTech has a presence, Uday is building clean, green, healthy and empowered communities.
Defined by the three C’s Uday is:
- Comprehensive: taking an integrated approach, we target critical areas of a person’s well-being - health, education, sports, livelihoods and skilling.
- Continuous: taking a life-cycle approach, we walk with the community through all stages – infancy, early childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age.
- Collaborative: taking the convergence approach, we bring communities, non-profits, local and district governments and HCL employees together, leveraging the strength of each stakeholder for the greater good.
What we do
We invest in five key strands that merge seamlessly to increase access to entitlements and ensure ownership of economic assets.
