Our Initiatives

Community Sports Day

At Evonith Steel, our “Here for All” philosophy came alive through the first-ever Evonith Steel Sports Day 2024—an event that celebrated unity, sportsmanship, and rural talent. Designed to bring communities together, the day featured traditional games like Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, and cricket, reigniting cultural pride and showcasing the resilience of local athletes.

Over 500 men, women, and youth from ten villages participated, with enthusiastic support from neighboring communities. What started as a celebration of sport evolved into a powerful platform for grassroots talent—nurturing dreams of national recognition and reflecting our belief in empowering every individual.

Evonith Steel Champions Health & Sustainability at Wardha Cyclothon

Evonith Steel proudly co-organized the Grand Cyclothon in Wardha—an inspiring event that brought together thousands of cyclists of all ages to promote environmental awareness and healthy living. From children to senior citizens, participants turned the city’s streets into a moving celebration of unity and sustainability.

In collaboration with Dr. Sachin Pawade’s Mitra Parivar, the Young Cycle Riders Group, and Wardha’s vibrant cycling community, the rally covered key landmarks and concluded at Vitthal Rukmini Auditorium. To reinforce our message, each participant received a sapling, a reusable bottle, and a certificate symbolizing our shared commitment to a greener future.

Chants like “Cyclothon, Cyclothon!” and “Saath Mein Hain Evonith Steel” echoed through the streets, energizing the crowd. This event reflects our broader mission: advancing inclusive, sustainable development through health, environment, education, and rural empowerment.
