Tying together in a single strand
We believe CSR can result in greater good for the country. And this is the best ticket to be able to make a larger difference, to unlock the potential. Rarely if ever the elements collude, consider this: while we were filing our patent for the ‘Biometric Access for Women to Bio Toilets’ we had no idea that soon it was to become a National Mission. Our method is based on a scientific temper and in-depth understanding. If the solution needs an invention so be it, (refer to our Patent Application*) but the entire solution has to be crafted, not just one part of it. Born from the experience base of creating
intervention strategies & executing the concepts in the areas of Consumer Protection, Child Abuse, Child Rights & Sustainable Environment, Enable doesn’t just stop at conceptualizing. We take the ground up route and journey the entire passage, not just as an Astronaut circling around but with skin in the game.
We have developed a ‘Healthcare to the Hut’ initiative (Patent applied for*) that looks at bridging the needs of the underserved to bring them pertinent healthcare solutions. It’s a platform that reaches out, provides a medical history to those who haven’t had any and treats patients with Telemedicine.
We strategize, conceive & implement your CSR objectives. Enable will innovate on your vision find the creative edge to maximize impact & link to larger efforts.

The Consumer Affairs Campaign:
Began with a presentation to the Planning Commission to get a commitment of funds; since it was looking for an attitudinal shift, it needed a concerted campaign across media; and so ‘JagoGrahakJago’ was born in 2004 & continues to date.We began with a Radio serial in 14 languages for pan-India release, TV Commercials, Press Ads- a multimedia drive. Result: In a decade looking for expiry date has become a Consumer habit, while Consumer Redressal gathers strength with landmark judgments adding teeth to the Act.
Sangla Intervention:
Film on Sangla made by us was instrumental in moving the HIMTAB to promote Pensiones, bring monetization & make the local populace responsible for the environment.
Child Abuse:
Child-line The first ever mass media communication (TV Spot) on Child Abuse done by us for UNICEF & NHRC launched Child-line ‘1098’ a 24 hour free helpline for Children in ‘98. Our obduracy for an action line paid off & Child-line became a reality Today it’s in 30 states & Union Territories. Child Abuse: Our film AkkarBakkar used widely for Advocacy; shown in Parliament, before tabling Child Bill; also screened at Cannes, 2010
Status of the Girl Child in collaboration with UNICEF:
Series of films in the states of Bihar, Rajasthan, Orissa & West Bengal, examined the status of the girl child & the effect of the Meena Project to consolidate the gains.
Child Protection:
Worked with HAQ on strategies & made the films for it.
80% of the Doctors are concentrated in 20% of the land in the cities. While 70% of Indians live in the villages. Healthcare is a rare commodity for most village communities.
The first step to treating a patient is in getting data on them. Today they lack any form of data. Project MoHealth wishes to capture, store, transfer data and so create their Medical histories & bridge village communities with Specialists in far-off cities. Using Technology & a trained barefoot medical staff we can reach out to a vast populace. A guerilla style coverage that’s deep & effective; a process we call ‘MoHealth’ (filed for patent) looks at bringing those outside the Healthcare umbrella into its shade
It’s all being made possible by a disruptive innovation from Public Health Technology Trust- the Swasthya Slate.
The Swasthya Slate is a powerful, disruptive device that allows 33 diagnostic tests with complete portability. It stores electronic medical records both locally on the phone/tablet and also pushes the data onto a central server creating a reliable record of the beneficiary’s health. It’s been proven successful in J&K, Chattisgarh, Delhi Mohalla clinics etc.
We bagan the project in Tapukara and surrounding villages in Rajasthan; continued to Vitlapur, Gujarat and ten neighbouring villages all in collaboration with Honda CSR. Over 18000 beneficiaries are living a better life with this intervention. The project continues in Narsapura, Karnataka and 20 villages around.
With CII Foundation we have built toilets in Girls’ schools where there was no convenience or dysfunctional units. We worked on the MoHRD template and improved it. The roofing became Metro sheets, bright and load bearing with superior temperature deflection properties. We tiled the floors, put taps in each cubicle, increased the total size by 30 sq.ft., yet managed to be cost effective (Within the prescribed costs of the MoHRD). Connected them to sewage systems and where there were none we installed Bio-digester tanks.
With Toyota Kirloskar Motor we created and installed 18 Pre-fabricated toilets in Varanasi. The soft soil in Varanasi required a whole new strut system to ensure the installation doesn’t sink with time. Despite various pressures we completed the entire project within 45 days. But the greatest gift to us is when the user comes out of a convenience beaming with pride; experiencing the freedom to use a toilet when needed with privacy and in clean surroundings.
We bring you the complete solution that begins with:
