Academician, entrepreneur, organization builder and philanthropist- these are just some of the many facets of Dr Desh Bandhu Gupta’s personality.
His dream to fight life threatening infectious diseases and manufacturing drugs of the highest national priority led to the formation of Lupin in 1968. With his inimitable commitment and drive, Dr Gupta has steered Lupin to the forefront of the Indian pharmaceutical industry with revenues of Rs.17 billion and a commanding position in the anti-tuberculosis and cephalosporin antibiotics segments globally.

| Dr Gupta’s commitment to rural reconstruction is well known. He promoted Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) on October 2, 1988, with an objective to provide an alternative model of rural development, which is sustainable, replicable and ever evolving. The Foundation has done revolutionary work in revitalizing, revamping and recreating nearly 2000 villages in the backward rural areas of Rajasthan Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, to make it one of the largest NGOs in the country. Dr. Gupta says, “this is my laboratory of 2 million people and I have keenness to help it expand to other parts of the country. Philosophically I am driven by the ethos of Indian culture of repaying back to the society with humility and gratitude ”. |

It gives us great pleasure to be associated with the noble cause of providing homes for the needy in the country through “Habitat for humanity, India”. To me, housing, particularly in rural areas, is not merely to provide shelter but it also provides workplace of economic activates. Home is the center of hope for poor people. Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF) entered into a partnership with Habitat for building houses for the poor in Bhopal and would continue to explore such partnerships in other states as well.
I congratulate Habitat for Humanity India Build, for taking up this gigantic task of providing/building 50,000 houses for the under privileged communities in India by 2010 through an innovative way of partnership. |
