Good move but I hope the money reaches the actual beneficiaries without being lost in bureaucracy. Himachal needs more accountability in welfare schemes.

As an ex-Himachali, I'm proud to see our state prioritising social welfare even amidst budget constraints. Sukh Ashray Yojna is a lifeline for orphaned children. ❤️

While this is commendable, I wish more transparency was shown on how the money will be used. Also, 95 lakhs from a power corporation - feels like a drop in the ocean given the challenges faced by children.

Every bit helps for children in need. I hope other PSUs in Himachal also step up their CSR game. 🙏

Nice to see corporate responsibility actually working on ground. In India, CSR often just remains paperwork. Hope this translates into real benefits for kids.

Sukh Ashray Kosh is doing great work. My daughter worked with them last summer - truly dedicated team. This donation will make a real difference. 💪
