CBRE India launches 2025 CSE initiatives under ‘Ek Pehal’ program

Hyderabad, May 19 (UNI) CBRE South Asia Pvt Ltd, the world’s leading real estate consulting firm, on Monday announced it has launched 2025 CSR initiatives under the ‘Ek Pehal’ program, focusing on migrant construction workers' families.
The initiatives focus on improving the lives of migrant construction workers and their families through targeted support in healthcare, education, nutrition, and slum infrastructure development across major Indian cities, according to a report released by CBRE.
In collaboration with reputed NGOs like Bal Raksha Bharat, Ritanjali, Blood Connect Foundation, and others, the program will impact over 1.5 lakh lives in 2025, the report stated.
As part of the partnership, the NGOs will be working country-wide to implement the initiatives focused on improving availability and access to quality health, nutrition, and early child education for migrant labourers and their families across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Lucknow, and Kolkata.
These initiatives are strategically aligned with key UN Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing CBRE’s long-term commitment to community empowerment, dignity, and social equity.
Initiatives align with key UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, Good Health, and Quality Education.

The program focuses on improving infrastructure, providing health camps, and supporting child education across major Indian cities.
Partnership with Bal Raksha Bharat (Formerly Save the Children) will focus on establishing SMART classrooms and BLES (Basic Literacy and Education Skills) work in government primary schools across Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi-NCR.
The initiatives will also support the enhancement of nutrition standards of children, migrant women labourers, and their families. This year, the collaboration intends to impact nearly 50,000 lives.
Last year, the joint efforts of the partnership made a total impact on nearly 80,000 people.
Ongoing initiatives with CBRE’s partner Ritanjali will see heightened efforts by offering health & nutrition practices, basic education, and awareness of sanitation practices for migrant workers and their families.
Overall, the initiative will benefit around 40,000 lives this year.
CBRE has partnered with Blood Connect Foundation for life-saving initiatives aimed at addressing the critical shortage of blood for paediatric needs, ensuring children with Thalassemia, cancer, and birth complications receive safe blood.
The initiative is focused on creating a sustainable impact that will help save countless young lives. A program titled Nannhi Muskaan is designed to develop sustainable, significant change to provide healthier, happier futures for children in need.
CBRE has also collaborated with the Child Heart Foundation, which aims to organize health awareness sessions, set up health camps, and actively work towards the cause of treating children with heart diseases. Cumulatively, both these programs will impact the lives of over 30,000 beneficiaries.
This year, CBRE has also partnered with the Institute for Research and Growth to lay special emphasis on slum development in Mumbai and Gurgaon.
With a focus on education, CBRE has partnered with ‘Shiksha’ to support the education of the kids of around 5000 migrant labourers in Delhi-NCR. Under this program, a school will be adopted, and the children will be provided with mid-day meals. Besides, the program will focus on developing the existing school infrastructure, providing educational support, addressing critical issues like malnutrition, and enhancing the academic performance of the children.
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, " Our commitment to sustainable communities embodies our conviction in uplifting the most vulnerable by enhancing their livelihoods. We strive to empower such individuals to claim a life of dignity and fairness through better access to education, vital healthcare, and robust skill-building opportunities, We hope to support the communities' progress."
To date, CBRE’s CSR program has impacted over two lakh construction workers across Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai, providing essential support through health camps, nutrition, and hygiene kits. Building on this success, this year’s efforts will expand with a focus on the identified areas. These programs aim to enhance well-being and create lasting positive change for migrant labourers and their families, reinforcing CBRE's commitment to social responsibility and community upliftment.
