Mindspace Business Parks REIT has assisted the Telangana Government in improving the medical infrastructure for the State. Using its expertise in ‘construction’, the entity has built an entire floor at the Kondapur District Hospital, Serilingampally.

Triggered by the shortage of beds and medical infrastructure during the peak of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the floor was designed and constructed in a record time frame of 60 days. The infrastructure will now provide improved healthcare amenities to patients across medical exigencies. The District Area Hospital currently provides treatment for OP patients, maternity, and other general medical facilities. The hospital run by the Government makes healthcare affordable and accessible to all.

This community service initiative has been executed through K Raheja Corp group’s community impact arm, K Raheja Corp Foundation.

With this, the hospital, which earlier had Ground +2 floors, spread across 67,071 sq.ft., adds a 3^rd floor and 22,357 sq.ft. of additional space with 118 beds, taking the hospitals space to 89,428 sq.ft and 218 beds.

The newly developed school has been equipped with welldesigned classrooms, a library, dining area, training rooms and an outdoor play area. It is the first school in the village with amenities benchmarked to national standards. With 'education' as a powerful lever of its ESG initiatives to create positive community impact, Mindspace REIT extends its expertise in construction, to benefit the community and its future generations.

Classrooms are designed with a capacity for over 400 students. The development has been undertaken in collaboration with Mindspace REIT and the Government of Telangana State. The school has 9 classrooms spread over 10,415 sq.ft and training rooms spread over 10,108 sq. ft. With this, Mindspace REIT joins the Government’s endeavor in line with its commitment of providing quality education to rural areas under the Our Village – Our School programme.

It is crucial for us to have sound labor management practices in place to ensure that our business activities continue to run smoothly along with consideration of the well-being of all our workers. It helps us in improving our business activities, enhancing worker satisfaction and productivity. We promote 100% labor compliance as a core value in the organization’s culture. We provide regular training and updated information to respective staff and contractors, which helps them in being compliant. Also, we ensure periodic review of the labor compliance status.

Our labor management practices include:

• Ensuring the health, safety, and welfare at all times
• Ensuring appropriate working hours, working conditions and timely disbursement of wages
• Ensuring social security to employees and their family members
• Ensuring protection of workers from exploitation by contractors
• Encouraging harmonious industrial relation

We encourage labor welfare through robust labor management practices. We ensure that no child is at the worksite as we understand that they need to be kept safe and secure, while their parents are at work. We partnered with a non-profit (Mobile Creches) from Mumbai to provide quality education, mid-day meals and healthcare facilities to ensure the health and safety of children whose parents work at our sites. We also arranged for medical care, food, shelter and also organized in-site regular health checkups.

Crèches at Sites

At Mindspace, we not only focus on the wellbeing of the labourers, but also extend hygienic living facilities to their families. To ensure their children are taken care of when they are away at work, we set up the first crèche in 1983, and since then, it has been a mandate at each site. We have partnered with Mumbai Mobile Crèches (MMC) to run the daycare centres. The crèches provide quality education, mid-day meals and healthcare facilities to the children.
