OUR GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY: The Cornerstones of Alipore Social Welfare Trust’s governance philosophy are Trusteeship, Transparency, Empowerment, Control and Accountability, details as under:-

(1) Trusteeship recognises that large groups which represent coalition of interests, namely our valuable donors, project partners, Doctors, Medical and Para-Medical Staffs, Employees, Members of various Committees and Volunteers which serves the social and economic purpose. 

(2) Transparency means to explaining the Trust’s Policies and Actions to those to whom it has responsibilities, Externally and Internally without jeopardising the Trust’s Strategic Interests and also Openness in the Trust’s relationship with its Employees from all Hierarchy. 

(3) Empowerment is a process of unleashing creativity and innovation throughout the organisation by truly vesting decision-making powers at the most appropriate levels and as close to the scene as feasible thereby actualise the potential of is team.

(4) Control ensures that freedom of management is exercised within a framework of checks and balances and is designed to prevent misuse of power, facilitate timely management of change and ensure effective management of risks. Alipore Social Welfare Trust believes that control is a necessary concomitant of its second core principle of governance that the freedom of management should be exercised within a framework of appropriate checks and balances.

(5) Accountability: Trusteeship, Transparency, Empowerment and Control enhances Accountability. Alipore Social Welfare Trust believes in setting Exemplary Standards of Ethical Behaviour, both internally and Externally because unethical behaviour corrupts organisational culture and undermines Donors’ value and Patient’s Trust.  This freedom of management should be exercised within a framework of Effective Accountability.

GROWTH: creates aspiration. Growth gives hope. Growth brings happiness. Growth that is transformational leads to the evolution of civilisations. After all, Growth is Life. The pursuit of this growth has led to the creation of Largest Health and Higher Education Awareness Institution in the District. We delivered all-round growth, built and sustained our services while continuing to invest in the future. The management has unveiled a challenge – that being way ‘Distinctly Ahead’ and the philosophy has been outlined in this year’s Management Discussion and Analysis. Every milestone that we cross, enthuses us to do more. We are pleased to inform you that with Almighty’s unlimited mercies and good wishes, co-operations and support from all of you, Alipore Social Welfare Trust is, ‘Growing continually with…… Improvement, Achievement and Success’.

CONSISTENCY: We believe that our consistency is a result of our strategic insights, the conviction to invest on those insights and the ability to rigorously execute and convert the insights to reality. Achieving these landmarks, in a tough environment for the services provided by us in Healthcare and Educational Reliefs and Scholarships was satisfying. Extending our record of accomplishment set over past fourteen years was rewarding.

Transformational Excellence puts us at a position of strength in Healthcare and Educational Promotion Fields. We believe that ‘Tough times Don’t Last, Tough People Do’. We constantly remind ourselves that our collective endeavour as an organisation is to build Facilities and Services to serve better for the long haul.

The strength of a ship is not tested by the miles navigated in calm water, but by it resilience to withstand the vagaries of the turbulent seas that challenges its very existence. The DNA of an organisation is tested not by its growth potential in good times but its strength to seamlessly sustain through its very survival. Spirit of Alipore Social Welfare Trust, our values – Intensity to Win, Act with Sensitivity and Unyielding Integrity continued to be our guiding force in this journey. Spirit of Alipore Social Welfare Trust drives our pursuit of responsible citizenship. It is at our core – Acting with Sensitivity by being Thoughtful and Responsible.

Alipore Social Welfare Trust is inspired by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through the enlargement of its contribution to the national economy by providing Healthcare, Paramedical and Nursing Education and Higher Educational Reliefs amongst the local population.

Our Values:- Respect for the Individual and Being Thoughtful and Resposible are the crux of our talent Engagement and Development Process. Our Medical Team drive our Hospital. They Determine our success, performance and services. Our Values define our relationship with our staffs and patients. Our Values: Respect for the Individual and Being Thoughtful and Responsible are the crux of our Talent Engagement and Development Process. We provide our Team of Doctors an opportunity to use their time and resources in productive pursuits. We launched two programs – Rejuve and Enrich. These Programs allow our Team of Doctors and Staffs to use their time to expand their horizons, professionally and personally thereby preparing them for a more rewarding future.

This brings us to the key question. Can we continue to deliver just as well in future? We are confident we can. Our confidence stems from the six fundamental factors-
(i) the healthcare environment,
(ii) our donors trust and support,
(iii) our strategic initiatives,
(iv) our socio-economic scenario,
(v) our local aspiring students aim to achieve their goals and
(vi) our passion to look beyond the services we render.

Achievements do not happen in vacuum. Hey say success is a journey not a destination. And we at ASWT feel privileged to tell you that we are journeying tirelessly together, spreading footprints on these landscapes.

Being the most critical part of the process, incubation is a time for forward looking decisions and introspective reflections. The choices made now will have far-reaching repercussions in the days to come.
