NATCO TRUST: THE CSR ARM OF NATCO PHARMA LIMITED – Annual

Report 2017-18

About Natco Trust

Shri Venkaiah Choudhry Nannapaneni, the visionary Founder and Chairman of Natco

Pharma Limited, is widely credited as the architect of innovating and providing

oncology drugs at an affordable price to cancer patients, thus saving precious lives.

He is known for his philanthropic services in the form of providing basic amenities like

water, sanitation, electricity etc. to tribal villages. This desire to help the community

has been embedded in the Natco family’s philosophy for decades.

Shri Nannapaneni realises that there remains a yawning chasm between different

strata of society, with vast divides in the areas of affordable education, health,

hygiene, sanitation, water, livelihoods, farming, social and economic well-being of the

community at large. In order to bridge this gap, Natco Pharma Limited established

the Natco Trust in 1995.

Concept of Natco Trust

It is with the aim of covering this deficit that Shri Nannapaneni established Natco

Trust as the corporate social responsibility arm of Natco Pharma Ltd. It is based

in Hyderabad and the core areas of interventions are Education, Health, Hygiene,

Sanitation, Water, Livelihoods, Farming, institutional support and need based

community infrastructure. It operates in the vicinity of wherever it has a business

presence and the mentor’s home district.

Corporate Approach

Natco Trust witnessed a transition in the year 2008, when it changed hands and

was spearheaded by Ms. Swathi, a family member. Emphasis was laid on the

holistic development of an individual, starting from the birth, through their journey

into childhood, adolescence, adulthood and in the later years of their life inclusive

of socio-economic, physical, mental, ecological and spiritual well-being. More

importantly, it transcended the barriers and catered to the holistic requirements

and aspirations of the community through their journey of life for health and

happiness.

We at Natco endeavour to make a positive contribution to the underprivileged by

supporting a wide range of socio-economic demand driven programmes including

education, health, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, livelihood, farming and other

community based initiatives to promote a healthy and happy living.

4

The programme also works towards supporting and strengthening government

schools and anganwadi centres in terms of academics and requisite infrastructure

development; providing health related infrastructure as well as medicines and

patient counsellors to government hospitals; community healthcare services

through institutionsl and outreach; extending “Purified potable water of high

standards”; Individual Sanitation Latrines (ISLs); catering to the needs of

pregnant and lactating mothers by supplementing their diet in terms of nutritious

food supplements and periodical medical check-ups; health education at

“Nutrition Centres”; and “Kitchen Gardens” to promote easily available,

unadulterated nutritious food plus promotion of organic farming.

Special care is also being given to tiny tots at the anganwadis. School health and

hygiene is also focused on as is the creation of livelihoods by establishing skill

based vocational training centres.
