The agreements underscore HURL’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainable community development.
Project “AAROGYA MITRA” – Enhancing Rural Healthcare Access
In collaboration with Manav Vikas Sanstha (MVS), India, HURL launched Project “AAROGYA MITRA”, a flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative designed to strengthen healthcare access across rural regions.

Under this initiative, AI-enabled Health ATM Machines will be installed at select Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), and government hospitals across Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Barauni (Bihar), and Sindri (Jharkhand). These digital diagnostic platforms will enable:
