Eureka Moments for the Community
A Glimpse Into Our Efforts to Give Back
For five decades, Eureka has given back to the community in many ways, and it all began with the late Paras Ram Somani. The Chairman of the Group was associated with the Marwari Relief Society in 1972, and contributed to its mission of providing hospitals and medical care for the less fortunate in Kolkata, West Bengal.
He became the Hospital Secretary in 1982 and served patients, helped with hospital workings, and was an integral part in setting up the eye operation facility that offered free operations for a while. Before this, he built a bond with the Shri Shiv Shakti Seva Samiti and made generous donations to devotees.
Mr Paras Ramji Somani has been felicitated by the following organizations for his social and charitable work:
- Received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Marwari Yuva Manch
- Received a token of appreciation from the Shree Shiv Sakti Seva Samiti for his devoted support
- Honoured by Shri Kedia Sabha
- Recognized by Shri B.K. Birla and Smt. Sarla Birla for exemplary social work in the field of medicine
- Bestowed with the Quami Ekta Award from the All India Quami Ekta Manch in 2011
- Felicitated by Late Shri Jyoti Basu, ex-Chief Minister of West Bengal, for dedication towards social betterment
Following the Chairman's footsteps, the management at Eureka has undertaken many CSR initiatives, as follows:
Assisted Snegam Social Welfare and Resource Society to achieve their goals via Rakesh Somani, a committee member of the organization. Snegam Social Welfare and Resource Society provide education for students from less fortunate communities and championing girl children without access to resources besides championing female empowerment across all sections.
