1 Legacy Much before the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility had evolved into its present form, Atul Ltd (Atul) has been engaged in serving the society with diverse initiatives in the fields of education, health and infrastructure. Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai, the Founder of Atul and an Indian legend, ensured complete commitment to community development andwelfare in every company he established. The primary reason for the establishment of Atul was to generate large scale employment and consequently improve the standard of living in rural India. His passion to give back to the society was reflected in his daily schedule; he spent half a day on growing businesses while the other half was dedicated solely to social service. He appointed Mr Balwantrai Mazumdar, an economist and Mr Siddharth Lalbhai, his elder son and a chemical engineer, to develop Atul, both of whom continued with the fine legacy. In 1978, Mr Siddharth Lalbhai laid the foundation of Atul Rural Development Fund in an endeavour to further the rich legacy of his father and bring focus to rural development projects undertaken by Atul. He personally oversaw each project which was being implemented and took keen interest in consistently improving the quality, variety and impact of such projects. Over the years, with an increase in the number and scope of projects related to serving the society, Atul Foundation was established in 2010 as an umbrella trust of Atul.
2 Annual Report 2019-20 I Atul Foundation Kasturbhai Lalbhai (1894 - 1980) The legacy of Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai has been synonymous with three terms in the broadest sense: excellence, perseverance and trusteeship. Social responsibility must include sympathy, helpfulness and willingness to forego self interest in order to promote the welfare, happiness and contentment of others and of the country as a whole. ~ Kasturbhai Lalbhai Balwantrai Mazumdar (1902 -1981) An economist, Mr Balwantrai Mazumdar was a voracious reader, sound thinker, patient listener and a farsighted professional. He created an atmosphere of camaraderie that brought out the collective best in the people of Atul. He was the moving force behind making the first site of Atul one of the largest eco-friendly manufacturing facilities of its kind in the world. He remained with the Group till the end of his life as did most of the people who worked with Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai. Siddharth Lalbhai (1923 - 1998) A chemical engineer and the elder son of our Founder, Mr Siddharth Lalbhai dedicated his life to the development of Atul. He accorded equal value to creation of wealth and service to society. The principles of trusteeship that he upheld, the personal qualities of integrity, perseverance and simplicity that he lived by and the single-minded devotion that he gave to tasks on hand will always remain our guiding force.
