Crompton Honoured with Mahatma Award 2026 for Driving Community Impact

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (Crompton) has been honoured with the Mahatma Award 2026 in the Community Initiatives category, an initiative of the Mahatma Foundation hosted by Liveweek Group, for its efforts to drive positive social impact through the Crompton CSR Foundation (CCF). The recognition highlights the Foundation’s work in strengthening water security and rural livelihoods through Project Jal Jeevan and expanding women’s access to technical careers through Project Saksham.

 

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. receives the Mahatma Award 2026 for Driving Community Impact

 

The award recognises CCF’s approach to addressing community needs through sustained interventions, local partnerships and measurable outcomes. Its initiatives span water conservation, skills development, education and community care, with a focus on building community resilience and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities.

 

Project Jal Jeevan addresses water insecurity across Ahilyanagar in Maharashtra and Sirohi and Pali in Rajasthan, where declining groundwater levels and variable rainfall affect agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. The programme combines water harvesting, rejuvenation of water structures, groundwater recharge, and participatory water budgeting and improved agricultural practices. Water Security Committees, women farmers and self-help groups (SHGs) also contribute to local planning and water management, helping build community ownership and support climate-resilient farming.

 

During FY 2024–26, Project Jal Jeevan recorded the following outcomes:

 

  • Water conservation: Rejuvenated 378 water structures and created a storage potential of 27,315 lakh litres.

  • Agricultural livelihoods: Added 2,253 acres to cultivation and reached 1.67 lakh farmers, including more than 50,000 women.

  • Community participation: Engaged 1,468 SHGs in the programme.

  • Household income: Reported a 16% increase in household incomes in intervention areas.

 

An independent third-party impact assessment further reported improvements in groundwater availability and agricultural outcomes. Water in wells and borewells became accessible at depths 20–60 feet shallower, while crop yields increased by 100%. The assessment also found that 84% of farmers diversified into higher-value crops and that the proportion of households earning Rs.1.5–2 lakh annually increased from 13% to 25%. It further reported that seasonal migration stopped for 70% of the households covered by the assessment, highlighting the relationship between water security, agricultural productivity and livelihood resilience.

 

Alongside its efforts to strengthen water security and rural livelihoods, CCF’s Project Saksham focuses on expanding women’s participation in traditionally male-dominated electrical and technical occupations. Implemented in partnership with Tata STRIVE, the programme combines technical training, practical workplace exposure, certification and placement support to help women develop the skills required to enter the workforce and pursue employment opportunities.

 

During FY 2024–26, Project Saksham made progress in technical skilling, employment and workplace upskilling:

 

  • Technical skilling: Supported 102 women through Assistant Electrician training.

  • Employment opportunities: 92 women secured employment, representing a placement rate of approximately 90%.

  • Income opportunities: Based on first-year salaries, these placements represent annualised income opportunities of Rs.1.01 crore.

  • Workplace upskilling: Supported 75 women employed in manufacturing facilities in Goa and Baddi, helping them strengthen their technical and supervisory capabilities.

 

Commenting on the recognition, Anita Pansare, Head – Innovation and ESG & Chief Technology Officer, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited, said, “At Crompton, we believe that meaningful social impact comes from addressing community needs through sustained interventions and practical solutions. Through Project Jal Jeevan, we are working to strengthen water security and support rural livelihoods, while Project Saksham is creating opportunities for women to develop technical skills and access employment in traditionally male-dominated occupations. Our focus remains on working closely with communities and implementation partners to build local capabilities, create sustainable livelihood opportunities and contribute to long-term development. We believe that empowering communities with the right resources and skills is essential to creating lasting, positive change.”

 

Through Jal Jeevan and Saksham, Crompton CSR Foundation addresses distinct but interconnected development priorities, linking environmental sustainability with rural livelihoods and women’s economic participation. The Mahatma Award 2026 recognises the Foundation’s contribution to community initiatives through these sustained, partnership-led efforts.

Returning Indian Families Must Rethink School Choices for Children, says Education Expert Sushma Bharath

As Indian professionals and families increasingly explore the possibility of returning to India after spending several years overseas, education experts are highlighting the need for parents to reassess how they approach school selection for their children.
 

Sushma Bharath
 

Sushma Bharath, an education strategist, believes that while returning families are often quick to recognise the changes India has undergone in areas such as technology, infrastructure and lifestyle, their expectations around schooling can remain rooted in the past.
 

According to Bharath, conversations with parents considering a return to India reveal that school selection frequently revolves around familiar institutions, schools they attended themselves or those known for strong Class 10 and Class 12 board examination results.
 

“Parents may have spent ten or fifteen years experiencing a different education system overseas, but when they return to India, their school choices can often be influenced by the same reference points they grew up with. The question is whether they are choosing what is right for their child today or simply what feels familiar to them,” she says.
 

Bharath believes this approach warrants reconsideration, particularly for children who have spent a significant part of their schooling in another country. Their exposure to different curricula, teaching methods and classroom environments can make the transition into an Indian school system a significant adjustment.
 

She emphasises that the decision should not be reduced to choosing between Indian and international boards, or evaluating schools purely on the basis of their academic reputation.
 

Instead, parents should begin by understanding their child’s individual learning needs, previous schooling experience and ability to adapt to a new educational environment.
 

An important question parents should also ask themselves, Bharath suggests, is whether they genuinely enjoyed their own schooling experience.
 

“Many parents remember their schools fondly because they performed well academically or because those institutions were considered prestigious. But have they really thought about what their own learning experience was like? And is that necessarily the experience they want their children to have?” she asks.
 

The question becomes particularly relevant in the context of a rapidly changing employment landscape. Many professionals considering a return to India are themselves navigating career uncertainty, changing job markets and evolving professional expectations.
 

Bharath points out that the world today’s children will enter is likely to be very different from the one their parents grew up preparing for. Consequently, school selection must take into account not just academic outcomes but also the broader learning environment and capabilities that children will need in the future.
 

She recommends that returning families consider three key aspects before selecting a school:

  • The child’s existing learning journey: Parents should understand the child’s previous educational experience, learning preferences and the adjustments required when moving between education systems.

  • The actual school experience: Beyond reputation and board results, families should examine teaching approaches, classroom environments and the opportunities available for individual development.

  • The future their child is preparing for: School choices should reflect the skills, adaptability and capabilities children will need in a changing world of work.
     

With India’s education landscape continuing to evolve, Bharath believes returning families have an opportunity to approach school selection with fresh expectations rather than relying entirely on familiar names and past experiences.
 

“Coming back to India does not have to mean going back to the educational choices of the past. The more important question is not which school worked for the parents twenty years ago, but which school will work for their child today,” she adds.

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan Limit Increases from Rs. 55 Lakh to Rs. 75 Lakh

Bajaj Finance has increased the maximum amount available under its personal loan offering from Rs. 55 lakh to Rs. 75 lakh. The revised limit expands the borrowing options available to eligible customers who need funds for significant personal expenses. The loan offers a collateral-free structure, repayment tenures of up to 108 months and a digital application process, subject to eligibility and applicable terms.
 

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan
 

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan is designed to help individuals manage planned and unexpected expenses without pledging assets as security. The revised maximum amount allows eligible applicants to explore higher funding options based on their financial needs, income and repayment capacity.
 

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan: What has changed?

The maximum loan amount has increased by Rs. 20 lakh, from Rs. 55 lakh to Rs. 75 lakh. This gives eligible applicants access to a higher potential borrowing limit when assessing their financing requirements.
 

The revised limit may benefit customers planning major expenses, including medical treatment, home renovation, education, family events and other personal commitments. Instead of considering several funding options, eligible customers can assess whether a single personal loan meets their requirements.
 

However, the maximum limit does not guarantee that every applicant will receive Rs. 75 lakh. The final loan amount depends on the applicant’s income, credit profile, existing financial obligations and the lender’s assessment.
 

Flexible repayment options support financial planning

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan offers repayment tenures ranging from 12 months to 108 months. This allows eligible borrowers to select a repayment period based on their financial circumstances and monthly budget.
 

A longer tenure can reduce the monthly EMI compared with a shorter tenure for the same loan amount and interest rate. However, it may increase the total interest payable over the loan period. Borrowers should therefore compare the monthly instalment with the overall cost of borrowing before selecting a repayment schedule.
 

For example, a customer who needs funds for a major expense may prefer a longer tenure to manage monthly repayments. Another customer with sufficient disposable income may choose a shorter tenure to reduce the total interest payable.
 

The appropriate tenure depends on individual circumstances. Reviewing income, existing EMIs and regular expenses can help borrowers select a repayment schedule that fits their budget.
 

What is the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan interest rate?

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan interest rate ranges from 10% to 30.5% per annum. The applicable rate depends on the applicant’s profile, eligibility and the lender’s assessment.
 

The interest rate affects the monthly EMI and the total amount repayable. Applicants should also review the processing fee and other applicable charges before accepting a loan offer.
 

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan EMI Calculator can help customers estimate their monthly repayments. By comparing different loan amounts, interest rates and tenures, applicants can assess the likely financial commitment before applying.
 

Who can benefit from the higher loan limit?

The increased maximum loan amount may benefit eligible individuals who need funds for substantial personal expenses. The loan can be considered for several requirements, including:

  • Medical expenses: Meeting eligible healthcare costs and related payments.

  • Home improvements: Funding repairs, renovations and other household projects.

  • Education expenses: Managing education-related costs.

  • Family commitments: Meeting expenses associated with significant family events.

  • Other personal needs: Managing planned purchases or unexpected expenses.
     

The loan is collateral-free, so applicants do not need to pledge property or other assets as security. However, borrowing should be based on actual requirements and the ability to repay the loan throughout the selected tenure.
 

How does the application process work?

Customers can apply for a Bajaj Finance Personal Loan through the official website. The digital process allows applicants to submit their details and complete the required verification steps online.
 

The application process generally involves checking eligibility, providing personal and financial information, submitting the required documents and reviewing the loan offer. Applicants should check the approved amount, interest rate, tenure, EMI and applicable charges before accepting the offer.
 

Eligible applicants may receive funds within 24 hours* of approval, subject to verification, completion of formalities and applicable terms. The actual processing and disbursal time may vary depending on the application.
 

Minimal documentation and an online application process can make applying more convenient. However, approval is not guaranteed, and the final loan offer remains subject to the lender’s assessment.
 

Supporting informed borrowing decisions

With the maximum loan amount revised from Rs. 55 lakh to Rs. 75 lakh, Bajaj Finance now allows eligible customers to borrow a higher amount based on their financial needs and repayment capacity. Combined with flexible repayment tenures and a collateral-free structure, the offering allows applicants to assess borrowing options according to their financial needs.
 

Customers should review their repayment capacity, compare available tenure options and understand the total borrowing cost before applying. Careful financial planning can help them select a suitable loan amount and repayment schedule.
 

Interested customers can visit the official Bajaj Finance website to check their eligibility, explore the revised loan limit and review the applicable terms.

Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report: Check Credit Scores and Gain Insights into Credit Health

A credit score can offer useful insights into a person’s credit history and repayment behaviour. For borrowers, understanding this score can help them assess their credit profile, identify areas that may need attention and make informed financial decisions.

 

Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report: Check Credit Scores and Gain Insights into Credit Health

 

The Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report provides a way to check a credit score online for free and review available credit information. By checking their score and understanding the details in their credit report, individuals can gain a clearer view of their credit standing and take steps towards managing credit responsibly.

 

Why is checking a credit score important?

A credit score is a numerical summary of a person’s credit history. Lenders may consider it, along with income, existing financial obligations and other details, when assessing a loan or credit application.

 

Regular credit score checks can help individuals:

 

  • Understand their credit standing: A score provides an overview of their credit history and repayment behaviour.

  • Review their credit profile: Credit report details can help them understand their existing credit accounts and repayment records.

  • Identify potential errors: Reviewing available information can help individuals spot unfamiliar accounts or incorrect payment entries.

  • Track changes over time: Periodic checks can help them notice changes in their credit profile and investigate unexpected variations.

  • Make informed borrowing decisions: Understanding their credit standing can help them assess their financial position before applying for credit.

 

Checking a score does not guarantee loan approval or a particular interest rate. Lenders assess applications using their own eligibility criteria and other financial information.

 

How can individuals check their credit score with Bajaj Finance?

Individuals can use the Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report to check their available credit score online. The process involves the following steps:

 

  1. Visit the Credit Pulse Report page: Open the Bajaj Finance website and navigate to the Credit Pulse Report page.

  2. Enter a mobile number: Provide the requested mobile number and complete OTP verification.

  3. Submit the required details: Enter personal information, such as name, PAN, date of birth, email address and PIN code, as requested.

  4. Complete verification: Submit the details to view the available credit score.

  5. Review the available credit information: Check the credit details provided in the report, including account information, repayment history, outstanding balances and recent credit enquiries, where available.

Reviewing the report alongside the score can help individuals understand their credit profile in greater detail.

 

What factors can influence a credit score?

A credit score can change as information about credit accounts and repayment behaviour is updated. Several factors may influence it.

 

1. Repayment history

Timely repayment of EMIs and credit card bills can help establish a consistent repayment record. Missed or delayed payments may negatively affect a credit profile. Individuals can manage this by tracking due dates and ensuring that sufficient funds are available for scheduled repayments.

 

2. Credit utilisation

Credit utilisation refers to the proportion of available revolving credit being used. For example, if a credit card has a limit of Rs. 1 lakh and an outstanding balance of Rs. 70,000, the utilisation ratio is 70%.

 

Using a large share of the available limit may affect a credit profile. Keeping balances manageable and reviewing spending can help individuals manage their credit utilisation.

 

3. Recent credit applications

Applying for several credit products within a short period may result in multiple lender enquiries. Depending on the scoring model, these enquiries may affect the score. Individuals should assess their needs and repayment capacity before submitting new applications.

 

4. Length of credit history

The length of time a person has managed credit can provide insight into their borrowing behaviour. Individuals with limited credit histories may have less information available for credit assessment. A short credit history does not automatically indicate poor repayment behaviour.

 

5. Accuracy of credit information

Incorrect account details, duplicate entries or payment records that do not reflect actual transactions can affect the accuracy of a credit report. Individuals should review their reports and contact the relevant lender and credit bureau if they find discrepancies.

 

What is considered a good credit score in India?

Credit scores in India generally range from 300 to 900, although score interpretation may vary across credit bureaus and lenders. A score towards the higher end of the range is generally viewed more favourably, but it does not guarantee approval for a loan or credit card.

 

A score should be considered alongside the information in the credit report and the individual’s wider financial circumstances. Income, existing EMIs, employment or business profile and repayment capacity may also influence a lender’s assessment.

 

How can individuals maintain a healthy credit profile?

Checking a credit score is only one part of managing credit. Consistent financial habits can help individuals maintain an accurate credit record and manage borrowing responsibly.

 

  • Pay dues on time: Track repayment dates and avoid missed EMIs or credit card payments.

  • Manage outstanding balances: Keep credit card balances within a level that can be repaid comfortably.

  • Apply for credit selectively: Avoid unnecessary applications and review eligibility criteria before applying.

  • Review credit reports periodically: Check for unfamiliar accounts, inaccurate details and unexpected changes.

  • Address errors promptly: Contact the relevant lender and credit bureau if the report contains incorrect information.

  • Borrow within repayment capacity: Consider existing obligations, essential expenses and future commitments before taking on additional debt.

 

These practices do not guarantee a particular score, and improvements may take time as updated information is reported.

 

Building better credit awareness

Understanding a credit score helps individuals make sense of their credit history and repayment behaviour. While many people look for the best credit score in India, there is no single score that guarantees loan approval or the most favourable borrowing terms. A strong credit profile depends on several factors, including timely repayments, manageable credit utilisation and accurate credit information.

 

The Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report enables individuals to check their available credit score online for free and review relevant credit information. By checking their score regularly, identifying discrepancies and maintaining consistent repayment habits, they can better understand their credit standing and make informed financial decisions.

 Commenting on the performance, Mr. Anil Kumar Puttan, Chairman & Managing Director, said, “The financial year continues to progress on a highly encouraging note for Unimech, with Q2 delivering strong momentum across our core business lines. In H1 FY27, revenue reached Rs.2,306 Mn, representing an 85% year-on-year growth driven by robust demand execution and early returns from our strategic growth initiatives. Backed by a consolidated order book of Rs.8,546 Mn, we are operating from a foundation of exceptional financial and operational strength.


The most compelling part is the expanding visibility of our business model. Long-term supply agreements and award programs with premier global aerospace OEMs are successfully transitioning Unimech from short-cycle tooling into recurring, high-volume ‘flying part’ manufacturing. In Semiconductors, our dedicated 20-month development pipeline with global OEM major has generated commercial revenues in H1, with a sharp step-up anticipated in H2. Furthermore, with parts prove-out happening at full force, serial production scaling over coming quarters will create a compounding, multi-year revenue runway.


Building scale-ready infrastructure ahead of demand is fundamental to our growth philosophy. Our automated special-process cell installation is underway, and our Middle East expansion via the Saudi Arabia JV ensure we possess the floor space, technical capabilities, and global presence required by top-tier OEMs. As we integrate these assets, we remain deeply focused on disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation, and driving sustainable, high-margin growth.”

Kauvery Hospital Radial Road Saves 32-Year-Old Woman Through Complex Neurosurgery and Integrated Neurocritical Care

Kauvery Hospital Radial Road, has successfully treated a 32-year-old woman who suffered a cardiac arrest while recovering from a minor procedure at a hospital. Following resuscitation, the patient continued to remain unconscious and was found to have severely compromised cardiac function. Further evaluation revealed a critical brain haemorrhage caused by complex cerebral vascular abnormalities, which also explained the cardiac arrest and poor heart function.

Recognising the need for urgent intervention, the hospital’s neuroscience team conducted further investigations, including a CT angiogram scan, which identified an underlying brain vascular condition that required emergency neurosurgical intervention.

 

The neurosurgery team, led by Dr. Krish Sridhar, Group Mentor, Neurosciences & Director, Institute of Brain & Spine, Kauvery Hospital Radial Road, performed emergency surgery under advanced cardiac output monitoring. The procedure involved securing a ruptured brain aneurysm and performing a rarely done surgical mechanical thrombectomy to address an obstructed prominent venous channel. Given the patient’s critical condition and compromised cardiac function, the procedure required close coordination between the neurosurgery and neuroanaesthesia teams, along with continuous monitoring to ensure patient safety.

 

Following the surgery, the patient was managed in the Neuro Intensive Care Unit by a team led by Dr. Ponniah Vanamoorthy, Head and Senior Consultant, Neuroanesthesiology & Neurocritical Care, Kauvery Hospital Radial Road, with advanced critical care monitoring. She responded well to treatment, with progressive improvement across clinical parameters, including cardiac function. Two months after the critical event, the patient has made a significant recovery, is near normal in her daily functioning, can independently carry out routine activities, and is preparing to return to her active life.

 

Commenting on the treatment, Dr. Krish Sridhar, Group Mentor, Neurosciences & Director, Institute of Brain & Spine, Kauvery Hospital Radial Road, said, “Early recognition of a Stroke, which is a major brain event, and emergency intervention through coordinated care across multiple neuroscience teams, were key to the successful outcome in this patient. Critical neurological conditions, especially bleeding in the brain, can sometimes affect the heart’s functioning and may present with cardiac arrest and poor cardiac function. In such situations, it is important to identify that the underlying cause is neurological rather than cardiac, as timely diagnosis will prevent delays in appropriate treatment.”

 

Dr. Ponniah Vanamoorthy, Head and Senior Consultant, Neuroanesthesiology & Neurocritical Care, Kauvery Hospital Radial Road, added, “Performing emergency and complex neurosurgery in a patient with severely compromised cardiac function presents significant clinical challenges. The expertise of the neurosurgery and neuroanaesthesia teams, supported by advanced monitoring techniques, was essential to managing the procedure safely. Equally important was the continued Neuro- Critical care in a specialised Neuro Intensive Care unit, following surgery, which helped support the patient’s recovery.”

 

Commenting on the treatment, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, said, “Managing complex medical emergencies requires the ability to recognise the underlying cause quickly and bring together the right clinical expertise at the right time. At Kauvery Hospital, our multidisciplinary approach combines specialised Neurosurgical intervention, advanced monitoring and dedicated Neurocritical care to manage high-risk conditions. This coordinated approach is central to our commitment to delivering comprehensive, high-quality care to patients, particularly when timely intervention is critical.”
