Community Engagements
Tega believes that companies do business in society. They recognize the fact that business exists because of community. Since its inception in 1976 and for that matter, 40 years back when companies did not provide social security for its workers, Tega was the first and only company to do so.

Tega has pioneered many innovative concepts for community services. "Bhavishya Aasha" is an initiative to fulfil the dreams of children whose parents are financially challenged. AHEAD was started as a "Rehabilitation and Research Institute for Autistic and Mentally Challenged Children". Similarly, Tega Industrial Technical School was started to impart skills to illiterate people. Besides it, Tega has been contributing in health, integrated village development, and enterprise development. These initiatives are not limited to India alone but to South Africa and other parts of the world.
