Johnson Controls India donates USD 10,000 to Adarsh Charitable Trust to support the upliftment of children with special needs in Kochi

Kochi, November 08,  2023 : Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy,  and sustainable buildings, today announced a donation by its Navy Team of USD 10,000 to Adarsh  Charitable Trust, Kochi. The contribution aims to support the rehabilitation of children who are affected  by conditions like Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Autism. The announcement was made during  an event held at the premises of Adarsh Charitable Trust.

The donation was part of prize money the Navy Team received for Johnson Controls Chairman’s  Award in FY22, recognizing their contribution helping build the first indigenously built aircraft carrier  “INS Vikrant” through installation of their HVAC equipment. The Navy team had won the HVAC  design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the system in 2010 and the project was completed  successfully in September 2022, with the ship being commissioned into service by Prime Minister Shri  Narendra Modi. The donation is a collective contribution by this team to Adarsh Charitable Trust, a  foundation with a rich legacy of 25 years that focuses on empowering hundreds of children with  disabilities from their birth.

Commenting on this initiative, Cdr K Satish Kumar Menon, Director Navy Systems, Johnson  Controls India, said: “It is our privilege to extend our support to the Adarsh Charitable Trust and bring  joy to the lives of these young individuals. Our team ethos, ‘One Team, Our Time’, has always been a  driving force to bring about a positive change in the society. The Navy team’s aim is to help these  children receive required facilities, including medical and therapeutic assistance, academic training,  enabling them to lead an independent life.”

“We are immensely proud of the Navy Team’s initiative to donate USD10,000 to the Charitable Trust.  Their generosity exemplifies the spirit of Johnson Controls – a commitment to making a positive  impact on society. This noble act not only showcases their technical prowess, as evidenced by their  exceptional work on the INS Vikrant, but also their heartfelt dedication to uplift those in need. We  stand in wholehearted support of this endeavour,” said Arun Awasthy, Vice President & Managing  Director, Johnson Controls India.

An estimated 50,000 children below the age of six in Kerala are face conditions like Cerebral Palsy,  Autism and Down syndrome. The collective efforts will pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive  future, ensuring equal resources and opportunities they rightfully deserve.
