Persistent Foundation
In order to fulfill the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility, Persistent Systems has been donating to the institutions, working primarily in the field of Health and Education since the financial year 1995-96. The Company earmarks 1% of the Consolidated Net Profit of the previous financial year for the purpose of donation in the subsequent financial year. To institutionalize Persistent System’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative and to develop a systematic approach to administer the process of grant of donations, the Company formed a public charitable trust, named Persistent Foundation (the “Foundation”) on October 29, 2008. The Foundation was registered with the office of the Deputy Charity Commissioner, Pune on March 21, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words persistent and/or foundation:
“The passion of self-aggrandizement is persistent but plastic; it will never disappear from a vigorous mind, but may become morally higher by attaching itself to a larger conception of what constitutes the self.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
