Corporate Citizenship

Siemens has been transforming communities across India through Corporate Citizenship initiatives. We build our commitment on three pillars: access to technology, access to education and sustaining communities.

Integrated development for a sustainable future

Corporate Citizenship in India has various ongoing initiatives. Broadly, these initiatives are creating sustainable communities through use of simple and inclusive technologies, developing innovative solutions that help sustain the environment and improve quality of life, and fostering India’s youth by making them industry-ready while making technology and knowledge accessible to a wide number of people. See Siemens Limited’s Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.

Access to technology

Ready access to simple, inclusive tech is transforming rural communities. Corporate Citizenship uses Siemens strengths in electrification and automation to deliver clean water, irrigation pumping, and better healthcare.

Access to education

Siemens Scholarship Program, Dual VET at government ITIs, and STEM initiatives expand quality education for economically disadvantaged communities, positively reaching over 120,000 students impacted.

Sustaining communities

Siemens has long supported people affected by natural calamities with rapid emergency relief, offering technical and financial aid to help communities meet challenges and restore or maintain essential functionality.

Project Asha

Project Asha aims to improve living conditions in rural areas through integrated development using simple, inclusive technologies. Implemented in the Jawhar blocks of Palghar District, the program expanded to Dahod District, Gujarat in October 2025. Addressing severe water scarcity and limited power supply, the initiative focuses on watershed development and energy solutions. In close collaboration with local communities, Siemens addresses interconnected challenges related to livelihoods, education, and health to build sustainable communities.

Project Asha has reached more than 150 villages, created over 550 million litres of water-harvesting potential, enabled approximately 370 kW of solar energy for water lifting, made around 2,000 acres of land cultivable, planted approximately 360,000 saplings, and undertaken soil and water conservation treatment across 300 hectares.

Project Jigyaasa aims to enhance learning outcomes in schools and encourage students to pursue STEM careers. Launched in 2018-19, the project has benefited over 42,000 students to STEM.

Project Jigyaasa focuses on fostering scientific temper through inquiry-based learning, access to digital learning and promoting entrepreneurial freedom among students and teachers. With Experimento India, our mission is to create an innovative learning environment tailored for students through Open Educational Resources (OER), accessible in regional languages. We aim to improve learning outcomes in STEM education and cultivate an inclusive and engaging educational experience for all.

Dual VET – Win-Win for local industries and trainees

The Dual Vocational Education and Training (VET) program at Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), based on the German model and implemented with Tata STRIVE, integrates classroom learning with in-plant industry training. ITI instructors are trained in inquiry and project-based pedagogy, while local industries actively support trainees with On-the-Job Training. This two-pronged approach strengthens institutional capacity and industry linkage, creating a sustainable pipeline of skilled, industry-ready ITI graduates.

The Dual Vocational Education and Training (VET) program has enabled industry-aligned skilling for over 160,000 trainees while 45,000 have undergone in-plant training.
