• 28 Uflex Stairs centres established for children to play everyday
• Annual sporting event to be taken to other parts of the country

Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, CMD, Uflex Ltd. along with Mr. Anil Upadhyay, President, Stairs, presided over the occasion.

Uflex Khelo Dilli was conceptualized with the aim to provide free of cost - space, infrastructure and sports equipment to the less fortunate children of our society, to play.

The first edition of Uflex Khelo Dilli has already witnessed participation of more than 5000 children. These children are regulary playing at 28 Uflex Stairs centres which have been established near the colonies where these children reside. In the last one year, these centres have emerged as a hub of recreation for children from low economic background and ignited passion for playing in others as evident from increasing number of children getting enroled at these centres.

As  Uflex Khelo Dilli enters into second year, Stairs is now planning to take this initiative to other parts of the country and encourage more children to come out and just play. 

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, CMD, Uflex Ltd., said, “We are pleased to be associated with a noble cause of helping underprivileged children in achieving their dreams through the medium of sports. Besides being a recreational activity, sport has an educative character which can help in building a strong character and help in social integration of underprivileged youth. These children have a lot of potential and latent energy that needs to be tapped and through Uflex Khelo Dilli, we hope to channelize this energy in the right direction. Our association with Stairs represents an extension of our social commitment to bring about a positive change in the life of underprivileged sections of the society by carrying out such programmes in sport, education and health.”

“The fact that young children should be given an opportunity to simply come out and play and enjoy themselves, urged us to undertake this initiative. We amalgamated it with our noble cause to train underprivileged children who are blessed with talent but do not have the opportunity or platform to nurture it. We encouraged these children to take some time out and join in the games that would help them build a strong character through sports. I would also take this opportunity to thank Uflex for their valuable association and would like to look forward for a longstanding relation with the Uflex team”, says Mr. Anil Upadhyay, President, Stairs.

Philosophy

The most important word in the vocabulary of any industry is consumer. With more and more products being introduced in the market the competition in the packaging industry has also become fierce as they are expected to come up with innovative packaging techniques keeping into consideration the evolving customer needs. Consumers can’t be asked to make sacrifices; they are the kings, it is the responsibility of the industry to live up to their mounting demands. With the changing trends customers have now become more responsible and compassionate towards environment. At Uflex it is clearly understood if success is desired they will produce what the customers want. It is the obligation of every company to give back something worthwhile to the community it operates in. This is the very essence of undertaking corporate social responsibility and is mandatory for any existing company because it not only builds reputation but also establishes the credibility and authenticity of the company among the consumers. Consumers anticipate environmentally responsible companies and Uflex delivers this promise.
