Apna Ashiana
VOL.20 | NO. 71| QUARTER I & II | JAN-JUNE 2021From the Desk of the Jt. MD
Dear Friends,
I hope you are keeping safe and healthy.
I hope you and your family are keeping safe. I request all of you to follow COVID-appropriate behavior and
protocols and get vaccinated. This is essential if we are to save ourselves from this pandemic.
Due to the 2nd wave of the pandemic, we skipped a quarter. It’s a relief that things are getting better and life has started getting back to normal.
The vibrancy in our projects has always been a key factor and I am glad to see so many events and activities taking place with safety protocols being followed.
I am pleased to share some highlights of the last 6 months:
• Jashn-7: The Inter-Ashiana Senior Sports & Cultural
festival was streamed online
• Ashiana Nirmay, Bhiwadi and Ashiana Dwarka, Jodhpur were successfully launched
• Occupancy in Ashiana Anmol, South of Gurgaon has reached 175 with very few units left
• Our sales target of 1100 units for last year was achieved despite the troubled times
• COVID vaccination was organized for our Senior Living residents.
Our theme for the year is NEED FOR SPEED to ensure timely delivery. Despite a lot of challenges like a
shortage of labour and material, our team is confident that we will be able to catch up and deliver our products to our consumers on time.
Another bit of great news is that we have signed new land deals in Gurgaon and Pune and we are all excited about creating homes in these new locations.
I thank you all for your consistent love and support.
With my best wishes to you and your families,
Ankur Gupta

children at Phoolwari played “Phoolon ki Holi”, spreading love, color, and joy, evoking a sense of community amidst the pandemic.
The Learning Never Stops
Encouraging kids to pursue their
innate curiosity to learn, we introduced new concepts through various activities & experiments each month. Sink & Float, learning about the Solar System, and Planet Earth were just a few
of the highlights.
Certification Ceremony
Each year children from Phoolwari are enrolled in Government Schools for
elementary education. This year too, with a need to secure their future, 38 kids from Jaipur & Bhiwadi were

items in celebration of Father’s Day. With most fathers visiting Phoolwari
on this special day, the kids were thrilled to showcase their creativity
for their loving Dads.
Act Now, End Child Labour!
Creating awareness of the harmful mental & physical problems faced by kids forced into child labour is an
absolute necessity. We observed World Day against Child Labour by organizing a special session for kids to understand its significance, followed by a creative activity expressing the thought of “Saying NO to Child Labour“.
