Dear Members,

It is an undeniable fact that you can do much more by being part of an organisation that works with social commitment and an earnest desire to bring joy in the lives of the deprived. I feel privileged to be associated with the IOD Foundation as its Secretary General, as it provides me the opportunity to extend my support and contribute to the betterment of the society.

As curtains have been drawn on another financial year, we are proud to share the 4^th Annual Report of the IOD Foundation, summarising our learnings and accomplishments of the fiscal year 2023-2024.

The year 2023 witnessed a continuation of the efforts undertaken by IOD Foundation in the preceding fiscal year. The philanthropic and charity initiatives were undertaken with the intention to bring a permanent positive impact in the lives of the downtrodden.

This year we reinforced our vision and objectives and continued our efforts to accomplish the main objectives of the past year. The initiatives undertook this year aimed at providing sustained livelihood opportunity to the deserving. As part of the mission to do acts that would have a lasting impact, we started a project whereby which fruit and vegetable carts were provided to the needy after due verification of their applications. On the day of distribution of carts, “Annadaan” was also organised in the locality that comprised of slum dwellers and vulnerable. Further, marriage and medical aid was also provided in genuine cases.
