Chairman’s Letter

Progress and self-development are levers to achieve the outcomes we seek in the world be it individually or

collectively. Yes, I believe that much of what happens in our world is the result of how we think, feel, and act,

about others and about ourselves. When you put your faith in people, share what you have learnt and give freely,

then good things begin to happen – belief, sharing, a sense of responsibility, growth, joy and so much more.

When people take care of each other they connect and work together, causes flourish and communities grow. I have

always believed that an individual is indebted to the society for his or her growth.

It was this guiding inner voice that led us to set up the Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF)

close to three decades ago to undertake rural development initiatives. It is with the same vision that has led me

and my wife to set-up the Desh Bandhu & Manju Gupta Foundation; the aim - to serve the most vulnerable and

marginalized sections of the society; rural & tribal communities living in remote hamlets, in districts and

regions that are the most backward areas of our country. The decision to choose and work in any region has always

been based on the lack of positive human development indicators of the area. The mission - to transform lives of

rural people through innovative programs and interventions that ensure economic and social progress; programs

that help build, strengthen and sustain rural infrastructure and rural ecosystems, programs that ensure a healthier

rural India. More, importantly programs that can be replicated across the country, were they to prove successful.

We have expanded our outreach, added scale and I am pleased with the significant measurable impact that our

programms have had on rural communities; transforming the lives of villagers, specifically in Rajasthan,

Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh amongst many other states.

For me the journey has just begun and we have just gotten started on our mission to ensure that growth and

true progress reaches our rural hinterland. I wish our team continued success and I thank all of them for their

resolve and the high commitment that they have shown towards achieving our vision of an economically self-

reliant and flourishing rural India. A remarkable journey of discovery and transformation, building a brighter

and happier tomorrow.

Warm regards,

Dr. Desh Bandhu GuptaFounder & Chairman

Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF)


PROGRESS AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT

ARE LEVERS TO ACHIEVE THE

OUTCOMES WE SEEK IN THE WORLD –

INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY. YES, I BELIEVE.


The Lupin StoryThe company was named after the Lupin flower because of the inherent qualities of the flower and what

it personifies and stands for. The Lupin flower is known to nourish the land, the very soil it grows in. It is

also known to be tolerant of infertile soils and capable of pioneering change in barren and poor climes.

The Lupin flower and bean pods have also long been used as food and sources of nourishment, thus

protecting and nurturing life.

Lupin ValuesAt Lupin, we conduct ourselves with uncompromising integrity and honesty and insist on

the highest ethical standards and transparency from our employees in all interactions.

We relentlessly pursue excellence through innovation and continuous improvement in all

areas of operations and the products we create and deliver. To set our standards, we

benchmark with the best in the World. We align efforts and energies of our people

across all levels and geographies to deliver outstanding results to our stakeholders.

We encourage diverse opinions and yet work together in a coordinated and mutually

supportive way. We empower our employees to generate new ideas, explore avenues

and offer solutions that can create and add exceptional value. We encourage them to

build ownership in all endeavours by assuming responsibility with passion and

conviction. We are compassionate and sensitive towards all our stakeholders and treat

them the way we would expect to be treated. We provide equal and fair opportunity for

employment, learning and career development.



Message from Executive Director

Dear Stakeholders,

It is with great pride that I table and present the Lupin Human Welfare and Research

Foundation (LHWRF) Annual Report for Financial Year 2016.

LHWRF continues to grow and evolve with each passing year. What is heartening is the fact

that we continue to fine tune and work on what we have learnt from every program that we

have created, managed and delivered across our rural hinterland over the last three

decades. We continue to enlarge our footprint in order to reach as many rural

communities as we can to make sure that we realize our Chairman & Founder

Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta's vision to ensure that the fruits of economic progress and

scientific development reach the poorest of poor; to create programs that will take our

rural communities and economy closer to the economic mainstream and make them

independent and self-sustainable.

At the same time we have put in place a flexible operational framework that ensures that the Foundation is in a strong position to

leverage close to three decades of know-how to meet any challenges, headwinds or changes rural communities could be subject

to at any given point in time. For instance, FY 2015-16 was a year of crisis in Maharashtra where the state was gripped by drought

like conditions. Our centers in Maharashtra responded to the situation and launched programs and interventions around water

conservation to mitigate the risk of drought in case the state was to witness less than favorable monsoons.

Our programs addresses and covers most demographics in rural India, right from infants to senior citizens. For instance, we

have introduced innovative lifesaving neo-natal respiratory systems in Public Health Centers for infants; we have a model ICDS

program that focuses on children below 6 years. We have designed special programs to strengthen education infrastructure and

interventions that encourage retention and schooling in rural communities. The foundation has been working on ensuring skill

development and transfer amongst rural youth and women for over two decades now empowering them to gain wage or self-

employment following this up with technology, as well as credit support to enhance income levels helping them free themselves

of poverty and debt. Our effort to provide quality health services at the doorstep of rural poor through MMDU are primarily

focussed on old people and women.

We believe that community development is the natural outcome of an all-encompassing holistic approach; economic or financial

well being, health, education and social empowerment are all inter-related and hence all development activities need to be

similarly engineered. Our interventions in agriculture, animal husbandry and skill development sectors cater to the economic

needs and aspirations of the people. While our initiatives in health and education ensure the social development and

progression, the work we do in Natural Resources Management and rural infrastructure ensures that the natural habitat and

rural ecosystem are adequately covered and working for the overall development of the rural economy.

With establishment of LHWRF centers in 8 states and launch of CSR initiatives around Lupin manufacturing facilities our

operations have truly become pan-India. We are in the process to strengthen these newly established centers to serve local

communities better.

Our efforts in building a sustainable and replicable rural-development model have been increasingly noticed; our advocacy

efforts have led to the adoption of several policies which have contributed to the growth of rural communities directly or

indirectly. These include initiatives such as Nandghar Yojana of ICDS and the Swasthya Mandir Yojana, both of which were floated

by the Government of Rajasthan. The foundation stands recognized for the stellar work we have executed, and this year was no

different, given various state-level or national-level awards that were awarded for various initiatives implemented. These awards

and accolades have only motivated us to do better than ever before, knowing every well that the journey has just begun.

I welcome you to be a part of this exciting journey of transformation and change. We invite like-mined individuals,

institutions, NGO's, state and central governments and allied organizations, who we are sure we could learn from and work

with to the advantage of our rural communities. Come partner with us and let us work together to build a prosperous and

progressive rural India.

Vision and Guiding Frameworks

The Lupin Foundation has remained focussed on developing an efficient and sustainable model for rural

development through actions, programs and initiatives which can be replicated across the country directly

or through collaborative efforts and strategic partnerships with like-minded institutions. Programs &

initiatives that aim to continuously improve the Human Development Index (HDI) in areas that we have

adopted. The program design and timelines for the Foundation's development projects are guided by the

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which we

believe are the appropriate frameworks for decisive and proactive social action and transformation. The

foundation today is working on what we define as an “Empowerment Framework” where the aim would be

to uplift rural people, families & communities – their quality of life and standard of living over what we call

the 'Empowerment Line', which goes beyond the 'poverty line'.

The Foundation is continuously creating and managing rural development programs that help promote

social & economic development, natural resource management (NRM) and infrastructure development.

Programs and initiatives that over the last 27 years have gone a long way in uniting rural communities and

empowering them to move closer to the economic mainstream and be a part of a strong powerful

progressive rural India.

LUPIN FOUNDATION HUBSThe Foundation operates through its 18 operation hubs located in 8 states across the country.


Rajasthan

Bharatpur

The Lupin Foundation was founded on the 2nd of October 1988, the birth

anniversary of the “Father of our Nation”, Mahatma Gandhi. The Foundation

established its first operations hub in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, given the high

incidence of poverty in the district. The mission was to create tailor-made

economic & social inclusion programs that would not only focus on alleviating

rural families living below the poverty line, but also work on creating support

programs that would facilitate rural infrastructure & natural resources

development, to drive growth into rural communities in the district. Programs,

which over the last two decades have transformed the district into prosperous

rural communities bustling with economic activity. They have also led to a

significant drop in poverty levels and a considerable improvement in the HDI

indicators for the region. For example, Bharatpur, which had never heard of bee

keeping before the Foundation's intervention, has now emerged as the leading

exporter district of honey in the country. The Centre has evolved as a benchmark

in the social sector for pioneering new approaches, policy interventions and

innovations for rural development in the country. The Bharatpur centre also

serves as the headquarters for LHWRF.

Alwar

Established in 1994, Alwar centre of LHWRF works in conjunction with its

sister organisation, MSGD. What began as a program covering 15 villages in

two blocks, has expanded to cover 9 blocks in the district. The Centre's

operations have expanded from rural infrastructure development including

housing for the poor, road construction etc. to creating and implementing an

integrated district development plan that includes rural health, women

empowerment and skill development initiatives. The Alwar centre has

implemented several flagship programs that are now being replicated by other

LHWRF centres as well.

Sindhudurg

In 2000, LHWRF established a centre in Sindhudurg district to begin operations

in Maharashtra. From its initial focus on women empowerment through the

creation of SHGs and allied agricultural support & development programs, the

Centre has expanded its focus to implementing innovative programs such as

integrated dairy-development which covers the entire value chain right from

technical training, skill development to resource management and utilization.

For example, the installation of biogas at the dairy, the use of slurry that can be

used as organic fertilizer by local farmers to increase crop production. Being

one of the most scenic areas in the state, Sindhudurg district is bound to

emerge as a top tourism spot and LHWRF is playing a pivotal role in facilitating

development of responsible tourism in the district.

Pune

The Foundation's Pune centre was established in 2004 with the objective of

carrying out rural developmental work in villages near Lupin's Global Research &

Development hub in Mulshi taluka. The centre has since then expanded its

operations to include villages in the Junnar block and has implemented various

development projects such as Tribal Development Fund-Wadi, IGWDP and add-on

SHG programs in the region. It has established a training centre at Vandre, where

trainings on various topics related to rural development are regularly conducted

for NGOs and CSR wings of corporates.

Bhopal

LHWRF began its operations in Madhya Pradesh with the establishment of its

Bhopal centre in 1995-96. The focus has been on poverty-alleviation through

LHWRF's community-driven integrated rural development model. The centre has

done stellar work in creating and growing the development of Self-Help Groups

(SHG) in the region, specifically programs that ensure financial inclusion for rural

women. This has over the years emerged as a flagship program for the entire

state. During the year, the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India,

Dr. Raghuram Rajan visited the field areas of LHWRF in Bhopal and immensely

appreciated the work that LHWRF has undertaken with women SHGs.

The Foundation has been carrying out development programs in the state of

Uttarakhand through our centre in Rishikesh. The centre's operations and

programs covers the Doiwala and Sahaspur blocks in Dehradun district.

The centre played a remarkable role in the rehabilitation period in the post

disaster period in 2013. With very limited resources available, Lupin

Foundation reaches out to the remotest of places to serve and help people.

Dhule

Fy 2016 saw LHWRF implement several government programs such as

IWMP and WSHG in Dhule district in partnership with its sister

organization, the Desh Bandhu & Manju Gupta Foundation (DBMGF).

DBMGF aims to serve the most vulnerable and marginalized sections of

society; rural & tribal communities living in remote hamlets, in districts

and regions that are the most backward areas of our country.

Nandurbar

Nandurbar district in Maharashtra has the highest percentage of tribal

population in the state and is the most backward district in terms of

Human Development Index. LHWRF established a centre at Nandurbar to

reach out to rural communities focussing on programs that would

empower tribal people. LHWRF also became the implementing partner for

the WSHG program of NABARD in the district. The centre has done

significant work in terms of fund mobilisation, women empowerment

through SHGs and is also expanding its work to skill development and

livelihood development programs.

Aurangabad

In January 2011, LHWRF began CSR operations in Maharashtra's Aurangabad

district. The main programs undertaken by the centre include agriculture,

animal husbandry, non-farm livelihoods, women empowerment, health,

education and infrastructure development. The centre has created and

implemented unique programs like the development of a rural mart in the

district, as also led the way in mobilizing funds. While working on poverty

eradication programs on a cluster of 15 villages that it had adopted, the centre

leveraged and mobilized funds from government schemes and contributions

from local communities for development activities such as shade net farming,

dairy and backyard poultry development activities. The centre developed a

village called Hasta as a model village with the foundation playing a key role in facilitating an ISO certification for the village gram

panchayat to ensure best practices and good governance. The foundation also worked on setting up a new Skill Training center in

partnership with the Gram Panchayat. The centre is also working on developing and facilitating the adoption of micro models of

Anganwadi, School, ODF status, infrastructure development and village beautification for Hasta. The centre has also engineered

a novel program called “Rural Fresh” which are innovative vegetable & milk retail mobile outlets set up in Aurangabad city by a

group of like-minded and highly motivated youth. The initiative has generated employment for 25 youngsters and LHWRF has

supported the group with micro finance and technical and relevant business guidance.

Dhar

LHWRF began operations of LHWRF in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh in

October 2011. Major areas covered by the centre are agriculture, animal

husbandry, women empowerment and rural infrastructure. The Centre's work

is primarily focused on development activities in the tribal area of the

Pithampur block where the incidence of poverty is more than 58%. The focus

has been on developing low-cost housing and the Foundation has already built

141 cost effective houses for the rural poor in the area. The Foundation has

also constructed two check dams and 5 Temporary Check Dams (TCD) which

has ensured water availability for over 152 families as well as water to irrigate

over 200 acres of land. Another major initiative has been the implementation

of programs focused on encouraging vegetable cultivation which has already

been adopted by 260 farmers.

Dabhasa

LHWRF began its CSR operations in Vadodara district in FY 2014 by setting up

a centre at Dabhasa which was our first centre in Gujarat. The centre focuses

on programs and developmental activities like rural industries promotion,

infrastructure development, education & health services for rural communities

within the district. The Centre has been working on rural infrastructure

development programs including construction of roads with the involvement of

villagers and local communities. The centre recently joined hands with the CSR

practice of another company to develop roads & construct a community hall in

Dabhasa village. The Foundation has also established a multi-skill training

centre to train rural youth to make them employment-ready given the growing

needs of Industries in the area.

AGRICULTURE

FROM VERMIN COMPOST TO BROCCOLI BOUNTY ENSURING STEADY INCOME THROUGH CROP DIVERSIFICATION

Fifty-five year old Chhiddiram from Ghadi Panghor village of Kumher block in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan is no more a

cereal crop farmer, something that he had been for decades. He is now recognized as a progressive and successful farmer,

someone the local communities and markets are proud of. The reason – he was amongst the first farmers to embrace and

adopt unconventional farming by changing his cropping pattern with the support of the Lupin Foundation.

Under the poverty eradication program, Chiddiram set up vermi compost unit with help of Lupin Foundation to minimize the

use of chemicals and other fertilizers. LHWRF not only ensured that we back his decision up with the right inputs but also

provided him with Broccoli seeds at a subsidized rate. He prepared his land and nursery in the month of October and

planted the crop in November. He used only 200 grams of seed per acre. The total input cost for Chiddiram was about

` 20,000 which included land preparation, seed and irrigation not to mention labour-cost, weeding, mulching and other

farming operations. He saved costs on fertilizers by using compost organic fertiliser prepared in his very own vermin

compost unit. He avoided pesticides and thus, the broccoli vegetable produced by him was almost organic. He was able to

harvest about 4,000 kg of Broccoli during the year which he sold at an average rate of ` 55 per kg. Thus, he earned about

` 2,20,000 during the year through growing Broccoli alone. Unlike cereal crops, broccoli commands a higher and better rate

in the market throughout the year. This simple shift from conventional to a market friendly horticulture crop can ensure

steady incomes to most farmers; an important income enhancing strategy that LHWRF is ensuring adoption for in rural

communities across adopted areas of operations.

GOBANDI DEVI

PROSPERING THROUGH CATTLE REARING

Buffalo rearing has helped Gobandi Devi to come out of clutches of poverty and live a stable secure life with dignity. Gobandi

and her family, who hail from the village of Rajpurbada in Alwar district were classiefied as a below-the-poverty-line family.

They owned just 2 bighas of land which was rainfed. The agriculture produce was insufficient for the family to sustain itself

through the year. They had no option but to work as daily wage labourers.

In the year 2008, Lupin Foundation, Alwar organised village women in the district and formed Lakshmi Self-Help-Group (SHG).

Gobandi joined the group and started attending meetings regularly. Ten members started saving ` 100/- per month. Group

members discussed about various alternatives for economic empowerment. The group decided to rear buffalos.

Lupin Foundation provided training to women on dairy development. Laksmi SHG was linked with the bank and the banks in-

turn provided loan to the group members to purchase their first buffalo. In 2012, another loan of ` 25,000/- each was made

available with the assistance from the Rashtriya Mahila Kosh. Gobandi and other members purchased a second buffalo of the

Murrah variety. Lupin Foundation also helped group members insure their buffalos.

Explaining the economics, Gobandi said, “On an average I get 9 litres milk per day from each buffalo. I spend about

` 125/- per buffalo on cattle feed. Sale rate for milk is ` 40/- per liter. On an average I earn a profit of ` 12,000/- per month from

two buffalos.”

“My husband has started a sweet shop, he uses milk from home and is earning ` 9,000/- from his business.”

“Dairy development has improved our financial condition considerably and we don't have to work as daily wage labourers

anymore. Our children are going to good school. Thanks to Lupin Foundation for showing us the right path and guiding us to

becoming economically self sufficient.” says a happy Gobandi.

ATM BASED DECENTRALIZED WATER PURIFIER FACILITY

NANDE VILLAGE, BLOCK MULSHI, PUNE

Village Nande is situated about 20 km from Pune city. The village has about 654 families with a population of 2,452. The village

has drinking water supply from an open dug well. However, there was a niggling concern over safe drinking water. About 10%

families from the village who were economically well placed had domestic water purifiers, but poor families were not able to

afford these water purifiers and as such subject to water-borne diseases, especially during monsoons.

Having looked at the situation and having discussed it with the Gram Panchayat, women SHG's and the community at large, the

Lupin foundation proposed to install a community-based water-purifier system in the village. It was decided to provide a

decentralized drinking water solution for the village by using ATM cards at affordable prices for the villagers. The Foundation

provided the system while the Gram Panchayat contributed by constructing a room to install this purifier system. One local

person was trained to operate and maintain the records of this system for it's smooth operation.

Now, 115 families are using safe drinking water paying ` 50 paisa per litre. The collective average daily usage of safe water by

these families is 900 litres, an average of 8 litres per family. The water ATM purifier has helped poor families get safe drinking

water at lower costs. The percentage of water borne diseases in the village has also reduced significantly. Monthly income of

the gram panchayat by selling water is ` 13,500 /-. The money collected by selling this water is being used for maintenance of

the system and paying honorarium to the operator. This innovative concept of using ATM cards has helped the Village become

self-sufficient when it comes to safe-drinking water as well as created a new revenue stream for the Gram Panchayat.

PARVATI

AN ICON FOR RURAL WOMEN

Parvati is from Kheriya Purohit village of Deeg tehsil in Bharatpur district. Her family was solely dependent on agriculture for

their livelihood. Besides household chores she also helps her family in farming. However, it was difficult to make ends meet

given the vagaries of nature which meant their current income was insufficient. She was worried about her children's

education and future.

LHWRF introduced Tulsi Mala program in her village through SHG which is close to a pilgrim place. Parvati joined this SHG and

availed a loan of ` 20,000/- to start Tulsi Mala making business. LHWRF arranged a loan for her through Rashtriya Mahila Kosh

(RMK). Apart from making tulsi mala, Parvati also set up a small grocery shop. She looks after the shop during the day and

makes tulsi maala in her spare time. With her sincerity and dedication, she began to earn ` 5,000/- per month and her grocery

shop also flourished. LHWRF extended a second loan of ` 25,000/- through RMK to her. Today, Parvati has not only repaid both

the loans on time but became an important earning member for her family. Her earnings helped the family to construct a

permanent house. Her children are now assured of a good education.

Parvati has become an icon and an inspiration for other women in the village who have also taken up tulsi mala making.

TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT FUND

Given our track record, LHWRF was chosen as a partner to implement 3 projects that are a part of the larger “Tribal

Development Fund” (TDF) initiative launched by NABARD in Pune and Dhule districts seeking to replicate the “Wadi” model

which is based on experiences and learnings drawn from very successful Adivasi Development Programs. All projects under

TDF are being implemented in partnership with State Governments, Government of India, NGOs and Corporates. The purpose of

this project was to promote the creation of a sustainable, participatory livelihood ecosystem, “Wadi” and “beyond Wadi”

approaches, which inter alia, aim at economic upliftment through sustainable agriculture practices, social empowerment and

improvement in the overall quality of life, including health and women development in tribal pre-dominant areas. The program

also includes micro-credit, promotion of SHGs, Income Generating Activities for land-less, SC / ST communities and other

weaker sections of the community and other related activities.

The characteristic features of this program are:

Ÿ Shift in focus from farmer centric to family centric

Ÿ Project size of 500 to 1,000 families covering approximately 500 - 1,000 acres of orchard plantation in 2-3 clusters

Ÿ Support for one acre per family

Ÿ Project duration of 5-7 years

Ÿ The project funding is done on grant / loan basis or a blend of both, whichever is appropriate. Generally, the project cost is

met as a grant and it is ensured that the participants contribute at least 25% of the labour component. To inculcate good

credit habits among the participants, a small loan component (around 10% of the project cost) is provided as loan to the

Project Implementing Agency (PIA) for on-lending. The loan period and interest rate for on-lending to the project

participants is decided at the time of sanction of the project.

BASWAPRASAD CHANDRAKANT SWAMI

I AM A LEARNER, AN AUTHOR, A LIFETIME LEARNER!

I personally believe that Life is a question paper set by God. Here, problems play the role of questions. So, we have to solve

every problem that comes our way. It's a great sign to prove that every problem has solutions but at the same time we must

believe that it's easy & that we are capable of victory. So, our path becomes easy if we try.

My life has been really exciting so far and fortunately, I have been able to make the most of the opportunities that have come

my way, especially Lupin's Learn and Earn program which recruits bright and economically disadvantaged high school

graduates. Presently, I am working in the Production department of Lupin's Aurangabad plant. Additionally, I have also

completed a Bachelors in Computer applications from Yogeshwari Mahavidyalaya, Ambajogai & I am pursuing my Master in

Business Administration in Production & Operations.

During this journey as a learner, somewhere I felt a deep desire to share my story with the world. I have always been brought

up with the philosophy of having faith, living a dignified life & working with passion; to be successful and keep on trying against

all odds. This step of becoming a Learner with Lupin has been one of the important milestones in my life. I love to write & will

continue to strengthen this passion by continuously sharing my experiences in the form of books. 'Galaxy of Destinations' is my

first book written to instill inspiration, love & passion amongst the readers. People say that 'Practice makes a man perfect; I

believe 'Perfect practice makes a man perfect'!

Life is an unstoppable journey & there is lots to do…!
