‘Care per Sq. Ft.’ and Beyond: CSR Initiative of Arkade Developers

Jan 14, 2026

Based on information shared by Arkade Developers in response to a query from CauseBecause, the company’s recent CSR initiatives, implemented through the Sajjan Jain Support Trust, focused on healthcare, education, inclusion, labour welfare, and environmental sustainability in 2025.

Arkade Developers primarily operates in urban and peri-urban areas of Maharashtra, and its CSR engagements reflect efforts to address community needs aligned with its operational geographies. Rather than concentrating on a single thematic intervention, the Trust has adopted a multi-sector approach that combines infrastructure support, healthcare assistance, inclusion-led initiatives, and environmental action.

Healthcare: ‘Care per Sq. Ft.’ and Beyond
One of the Trust’s key initiatives is the “Care per Sq. Ft.” programme, implemented in partnership with Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai. Under this model, for every home sold by Arkade Developers, the company contributes an amount equivalent to one square foot towards cancer treatment support at TMH.

The company claimed that the programme supported over 260 cancer patients between mid-2023 and early 2025. In addition to financial assistance, the Trust has also organised blood donation drives to support hospital blood banks catering to patients undergoing treatment. The initiative is structured as a continuing contribution rather than a one-time donation.

Education and Inclusion: Support for Visually Impaired Students
Education forms another area of intervention. In partnership with the National Association for the Blind (NAB India), the Trust supports visually impaired students from economically weaker backgrounds through the provision of Braille learning kits and educational materials.

As per available information, the initiative has reached over 60 students across Classes 1 to 12, addressing access to specialised learning resources that are often limited within mainstream education systems.

Supporting Vulnerable Communities: DESIRE Society and BAL ASHA Trust
The Trust also partners with organisations working with vulnerable populations, including DESIRE Society, which supports children affected by HIV/AIDS, and BAL ASHA Trust, which works with abandoned and at-risk children. Engagements include financial support, educational assistance, and employee volunteering.

While these interventions address immediate needs, public disclosures provide limited information on long-term outcome measurement.

Sustainability and Community Engagement
Alongside healthcare and education, the Trust’s CSR activities include environmental and community engagement efforts. Plastic and e-waste collection drives have been conducted, with over 100 kilograms of recyclable waste collected through cleanliness campaigns. These initiatives combine waste reduction with community participation, encouraging shared responsibility for environmental stewardship.
