Kabaddi Excellence Program

Sports play a vital role in the overall development of an individual, fostering discipline, confidence, and teamwork. As part of this vision, Evonith Steel has launched the Kabaddi Excellence Program with its team, “Evonith Yodhas” , comprising talented boys and girls from local communities.

The initiative works towards shaping promising athletes through guided training, technical development, and holistic support, including nutrition. To further strengthen this initiative, Evonith Steel has developed a dedicated indoor kabaddi court and provides comprehensive support to players, enabling them to train in a professional and well-equipped environment.

The program is designed to support young athletes, encourage a strong sports culture, and enable them to progress to higher levels.

Water Conservation

Water conservation projects in Malkapur, like "Doha" model storage ponds, vertical recharge pits, and gabion check-dam structures are critical for combatting regional water scarcity, restoring depleted aquifers, and curbing soil erosion by trapping seasonal rainfall runoff. As growing global demands, climate change, and dwindling freshwater sources push communities closer to a severe water crisis, such proactive interventions have become indispensable. Demonstrating strong corporate environmental stewardship, Evonith Steel integrates these vital water conservation initiatives into its community development programs.

Voices Of Wardha

Voices of Wardha is an Instagram page that brings these efforts to the forefront by sharing stories of individuals, communities and initiatives making a difference on the ground. Through these stories, the platform highlights local experiences, achievements and positive change, while encouraging greater awareness and community participation.

Rural Sports Day Program

Rural Sports Day is an annual 2–3 days initiative that brings together participants from villages in the Wardha region through sports such as Kabaddi, Cricket and Kho Kho. The event provides a structured platform for rural athletes, women and youth to showcase their talent while promoting physical fitness, teamwork and community engagement.

The initiative encourages participation at the grassroots level, fostering healthy competition and stronger community connections. It also helps identify local talent and promotes a culture of sports and active participation among rural communities.

Infrastructure Support

Our infrastructure initiatives focus on improving essential facilities across communities. This includes repairing sanitation facilities at Zilla Parishad schools to enhance and develop the learning environment and repainting community spaces in Chitoda and installing water filtration systems in Bhugaon and Selukate.

We have also supported local development by supplying slag for construction, undertaking improvement work at the Co-operative Bank in Wardha to enhance the learning environment.

Mobile Medical Unit

The Mobile Medical Unit initiative delivers essential healthcare services to 25 villages across Wardha and Malkapur, improving access to primary care in rural and underserved communities. Our medical health van reaches close to a thousand people each month with free check-ups and medication, led by a skilled team of a doctors and nurse addressing everyday health concerns.

The program plays a vital role in strengthening rural healthcare delivery through accessible and quality medical services.
