2012 efforts focused on educating children, feeding the hungry, sheltering
the homeless, and reducing domestic violence.
(Newark, CA) Digital Nirvana, a provider of monitoring, management and compliance
systems for broadcast, cable, and satellite networks, announces details of the
company’s corporate social responsibility program this year.
Digital Nirvana has supported domestic violence victim advocacy non-profit
organization Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) and sponsored
an international amateur online photography contest, Kalakaar 2012, to benefit
impoverished children in India. The photography contest was organized by Vibha,
a non-profit company dedicated to helping underprivileged children who Digital
Nirvana has been involved with for a variety of programs. Digital Nirvana also
sponsored the annual breakfast fundraiser for Abode Services, an organization
that provides housing and services to homeless people and works to end the cycle
of homelessness. In 2012, Digital Nirvana also helped support the Second Harvest
Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, Alameda County Library Foundation,
child development agency Kidango and The Akshay Patra Foundation, U.S.A.
"Digital Nirvana strives to be a good Corporate Citizen and is making
Corporate Social Responsibility part of its corporate culture," said Hiren
Hindocha, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Digital Nirvana, who also serves
as a board member of Abode Services. "Digital Nirvana plans to continue
supporting the efforts of these non-profit organizations in 2013. Our goal is
to positively impact the world, in both our community efforts, and as we continue
to flourish as an innovative technology provider."
Digital Nirvana has been working with SAVE for over five years. In 2012, the
company sponsored the non-profit’s 10th Annual Breakfast Eye Opener, which
brings attention to the ways domestic violence affects us all. The services
provided by SAVE help to support domestic violence survivors, give them a sense
of empowerment, and aid them on their journey to safety and self-sufficiency.
This year, Digital Nirvana worked with Vibha to sponsor a contest called Kalakaar
– a word that translates to "artist" in Hindi. Proceeds from the international
online photography competition benefitted children in need. Digital Nirvana
pledged to donate one dollar for every photograph submitted, and when Kalakaar
ended in mid-November, the project had raised $5,250 and gotten 13,720 ‘likes’
on Facebook. To view the winning photos from the contest, please visit: http://kalakaar.vibha.org/contest/winners.
