Personal Profile | 2

I am trying to change corporate social

responsibility into common man’s social

responsibility. I have realized that there is

a thin line between societal responsibility

and marketing your Business cause. Many

Corporate houses use CSR to advance their

brand. Our corporate sector has to contribute

in genuine ways to the social good.

The necessity of being honest requires

one to frst exercise it on oneself, and then

telling employees to be honest. Similarly

observing discipline, strong work ethic

and being sincere with customers. For me,

a manifestation of this can be seen as a

Teacher in different Schools, Colleges, and

Universities.

I bring students and fedgling entrepreneurs

to my headquarters. I talk to them about

my experiences, garner some laughs and

encourage them to pursue private enterprise.

The idea is to provide them with a "moral

education" that covers self-suffciency,

the kind of values that anchored my own

business understanding and teaching them to

be effective corporate leaders.

We as volunteers have taken the

responsibility of Education in many ways. We

are trying to make an IMPACT and help bring

transformation.

Rahim Motors has signed a MOU with the

University of Kashmir and helps in skill

development of the youth of Kashmir. Making

them employable and whenever possible we

employ them at Rahim Motors.

Rahim Motors in collaboration with National

Institute of Technology (NIT, Srinagar)

has indigenously developed a seat heating

system.

Personal Profile | 6

Talking about myself, my nation and my role in

corporate volunteering

At the beginning I will tell about myself, how I

started from the bottom; growing up in a very

humble setting, having trouble with school (now I

have completed my 1year Executive MBA OMP

honors Manger Program at S.P Jain Institute of

Management, Mumbai, India). Inspiration to reach

wider horizons of thought and action.

I have remained a volunteer from the beginning

whether as a small worker or now as a C.E.O of

the company having almost 200 workers. Allow

me to say that for this work one needs to have a

kind heart, which feels human pain and sincerity

of purpose. Corporate, money and resources come

later. I will be mentioning the ideals which have

lighted me on my way and time after time given me

new courage to face life cheerfully and My passion

to do something for society.

From Rags to richesIt’s the classic rags-to-riches saga. Failing the

examination to earn my matriculate qualifcation

in 10th grade, I started my career as a mechanic.

I went on to work as a scooter mechanic, earning

a few hundred rupees a month; opened a maruti

repair workshop with one employee and Now

am C.E.O of Rahim Group of Companies, a

conglomerate of companies. All along I was living

and volunteering simultaneously with no resources

at hand.

Though I started a repair shop of my own- built a

tin shed and with two workers. Soon after, I joined

India’s largest automaker and a subsidiary of

Suzuki Motor Corporation, as a service provider.

Rahim Motors, is now a large complex and

operations also include two additional companies

at other sites, Rahim Automobiles and Rahim

Engineering Works. There are currently 175-200

employees under me.

I consider myself a full time volunteer, So I am

always in need of enthusiastic people who have a

passion for contributing their time to help others and

state. So I invest my time and their time to empower

youth, protect nature, education and healthcare.

Rahim GreensOut of this vision, a trust styled Rahim Greens was

born a few years ago. Now I divert some 25-30% of

my company’s profts for the social responsibility

projects. Through Rahim Greens we have taken

various initiatives. One Rahim Greens’s main

objective is nurturing young entrepreneurs.

Functional Summary

Personal Prof i le | 7

Volunteer support Steadily we gained volunteer support of individuals,

Educational Institutes, Colleges, University and

Civil society. We now have our own nursery for the

sapling which helps us in planting tress any time

and any where possible. I have also donated 50

solar lights to be used for studying in the remote

homes along the India-Pakistan border.

Plantation drives:The group has planted 125,000 trees around the

Kashmir valley since 2009, including in areas

of deforestation, which has become a concern

throughout the valley. Steadily we have gained

volunteer support of individuals, educational

institutes, colleges, university and Civil society.

Medical Aid in Unrest The healthcare sector has been strained in the

last over two decades of unrest, with hospitals

overwhelmed by huge number of injured.

With help Poor Voluntary Trust (hpvt.org.in), which

started many volunteering programs like medical

aid for needy persons, I voluntarily act as a driver

during emergencies for ambulances to ferry patients

to hospitals with my co-workers.

We provide free round the clock, courteous and

prompt emergency ambulance transportation to the

needy patients of our community and respond to

local emergency calls by Help poor Voluntary Trust

as well

SportsApart from these programs, Rahim Greens has

started encouraging and engaging youth into

different kinds of sports trainings and competitions

.We are sponsoring and convening many sport

events and football tournaments in the valley.

While there is great attraction towards football and

some also play cricket, at rahim greens attempts are

being made to attract youth to other sports. Rahim

Greens sponsors Rahim Greens Cricket Club and

Rahim Greens Football Club.

VisitsTrying to learn the best practices of the people who

have been in social service and volunteering for a

long time, I have been to numerous conferences

world over. Connecting with the World

In this time of Global Village doing one’s work at

one’s place is just not enough, one has to connect

with the world share one’s own experience and

learn from them. Trying to learn the best practices

of the people who have been in social service

and volunteering for a long time, I have been to

numerous conferences world over. Every visit has

been a learning experience and on returning have

always tried to implement what I learn.

Brief concept note

Working for Change in my community in terms of Education,

healthcare, Environment , Entrepreneurship and Sports

activities is what I thought was to be done at its best. My

vision was to help myself and to work for my people at once

Where do I go from here? What contribution can a strong

idea and action plan make to this state of affairs? We need to

understand the principles of this type of confict so that we can

contrast that to a Practical model of social entrepreneurship

where I consider Corporate Social responsibility framework for

common Man’s responsibility. The visionary ideas of apolitical

volunteerism holds the real keys to transform such conficts

besetting the world today.

I created Rahim Greens with a focus on four areas:

Environment, Education, healthcare, Entrepreneurship and

Sports activities

As my idea of social responsibility is deeply implicated in

individual and social conceptions of Human love my raison

Many Corporate houses use CSR to

advance their brand. In society, everyone is waiting for CSR/NGO funding for the

redressal of the grievances. In the same

way, Social entrepreneurship is attracting growing amounts of talent, money, and

attention. But along with its increasing

popularity has come less certainty about what exactly a social entrepreneur is and

does. As a result, all sorts of activities are

now being called social entrepreneurship.

I am trying to change corporate social

responsibility (CSR) into common man’s

social responsibility (CMSR). This vision is to create awareness in the general

masses/stakeholders to contribute in

genuine ways to the social good.

My common man’s social responsibility (CMSR) signals the imperative to drive

social change by the active participation of a common man with its lasting, transformational beneft to society.

I’m not sure I can always defne it, but I

know it when I see it.

All the MBA’s in the world can not touch

the impact created by the humble people pursuing small ventures and utilizing

their economic infuence to change the

communities they live in because these are bred through the hunger for meaning that usually only comes to those who are

motivated to change their own reality as well as that of others.
