Several hundred million people are benefiting from the country’s progress. Concurrently, India’s population too has risen to more than 1.2 billion, placing an increasing burden on existing resources. Access to basic services like education, health, financial services, banking etc. are often beyond the means of the common person. Airtel’s sustainability journey endeavours to contribute further to our society and to our environment. It is our firm belief that not a single man, woman or child should be denied access to education, health and prosperity. We believe in social inclusion of people everywhere, and have made this the cornerstone of our sustainability programme. We leverage our network presence, reach and accessibility, through mobile telephony, direct-to-home television and broadband services, to contribute towards a sustainable future, not just for people everywhere but also for our planet and economy. We are confident that we can be a force of good, positive change, in society and also augment the efforts of the government, public-private groups, Bharti Foundation and NGOs in the area of sustainability. In 2011, we made a commitment to widen our sustainability journey.
