Central to the corporate philosophy of Pantnagar Tarai Agri Seeds is its passionate commitment to the social development of the communities in which it operates.

Improving the quality of life and fostering sustainable and integrated development in the communities where it operates is central to PTAS corporate philosophy.

This objective of social responsibility is equally well-entrenched in the minds of its employees, who play an active part in providing financial support and empowering rural communities to chart their own development.

Though it has initiated a slew of programmes, the main elements of PTAS community development policy are:

	Designing, evolving and implementing sustainable, replicable and scaleable development models, that lead to measurable socio-economic development of the community and ecological development in its area of influence.
	Involving the community in all stages of the process, in the true spirit of participatory development.
	Having focused and transparent processes, that provide for equal opportunity, while improving the quality of life.
	Involving the employees in volunteering for community development programmes.
	Extension education programmes, including training of farmers and rural women, to augment family income.
	Organising farmers' meetings.
