HCL Samuday, a flagship program of HCL Foundation, is an outcome of HCL’s commitment to uplift rural India.

This is being done through optimal interventions across Agriculture, Education, Health, Environment, Livelihood, and WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) in selected villages.

The program is designed to help the local people identify their problems, co-create solutions, and then implement the same on their own with professional support from team Samuday, thereby, lending the dimension of sustainability and ownership to the vision of development. Currently implemented in 11 blocks of Uttar Pradesh, HCL Samuday is operational in 1299 villages from 287 Gram Panchayats, comprising more than 165,000 households and impacting over 900,000 people.
