Amrut Distilleries Pvt Ltd (ADPL) has an acknowledged track record of support to social causes, which dates almost back to the very inception of the company over six decades back. A shining instance of its socially conscious activities even while it was an infant organization was the support to Sadananda Ashram, an institution dedicated to the welfare of old-aged, destitute citizens. Located on the Andhra-Tamil Nadu border, the Ashram has since grown to become well known for its care for the old-aged in its surroundings.
Over the last three decades, the company has also extended its patronage to Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre (BAC), a charitable organization dedicated to the promotion of aquatic sports in India. Other than the financial support, ADPL also helped in the establishment of infrastructure, designing and management of various programmes. The company through its staff has also campaigned extensively for mobilization of funds from other sources.
While Amrut’s support to BAC dates back to the late 1980’s, funds provided by it during the last two financial years amounted to about Rs. 45 lakhs. The funds helped BAC in implementation of its Elite Swimmers Programme.
Swimmers trained by BAC have established over 500 national records in aquatic sports and around 2000 medals at various state-level and national-level events. Several BAC trainees have gone on to win Arjuna awards. They include Abhijith J, Nisha Millet,
Rehan Poncha, and others.
