The thrust areas of these programmes are – Health, Education and Socio-Religious activities.
As a socially conscious corporate, Mahesh Agro Food Industries has contributed significantly towards community development in and around its operational area since inception. Our approach to social development is to ensure growth, focusing especially on the most underprivileged sections of the society. With this in mind, it has attempted to bring old, backward villages into the mainstream, providing the communities with education, health, self-employment, the skills and strengths to make the most of the opportunities offered by modern India.
The ensuing social development activities have led to the promotion of higher education, health awareness, self-employment and environment, construction of schools, and socially benefiting thousands of people living in the area.

Shri Shravan Kumar Maheshwari, President of Maheshwari Parivar (Mahesh Agro Group) for the construction of a grand temple of Lord Shri Ram, inhabited by the soul of India Shri Kailash Chaudhary, Honorable Minister of State, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
Temple Construction
Vidyam dadati vinayam vinayad yati eligibilityam.
Eritavat Dhanmapnoti Dhanat Dharmam Tath Sukham.
Meaning: Knowledge gives humility, humility brings merit and merit brings wealth, through which a person does the work of righteousness and remains happy.
Taking inspiration from this verse, the work of construction of the temple was started by Shri Shravan Kumar Maheshwari, President of Mahesh Agro Group in Barmer, Rajasthan with Bhumi Pujan. The construction, operation and maintenance of the temple is entirely of Mahesh Agro Group.
Cattle Shelter
Cow in India is considered to be a sacred symbol of life that should be protected and revered. In the Vedas, the oldest of the Hindu scriptures, the cow is associated with Aditi, the mother of all the gods.
Keeping this in mind we have started construction of a large cattle shelter in the Barmer, Rajastan in collaboration with a group of people where the stray cattle are kept and feed. Their we are also manufacturing facility for medical treatment for cattle. This will not only fulfill our religious obligations but also provide a humble home to stray cattle.
Free Medicines
As Father of our Nation “Mahatma Gandhi” once said,
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
We believe in the same philosophy and we are giving free treatment medications to the deprived social elements we are giving them more than the wealth.
We have also collaborated with Local Homeopathic hospital in Barmer and pledged to donated under “Shree Shrawan Kumar Dungermal Maheshwari (MAFI Group Trust)” the money equivalent to every year of medications.
