The core philosophy of the company was that no industry can sustain in this world without giving back the best to the society that actually drives its sustenance. The integration of Hyundai’s commitment and philosophy led to the establishment of the charter Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF) on April 10, 2006.

The car manufacturer is believed to manufacture the best of fuel-efficient cars.

Through relentless efforts and concrete initiatives the car manufacturer extended its support in the field of Environment, Road Safety, Health Care, Art, Science and Technology, and Educational and Vocational Training. The company had also received an acclamation for establishment of HMIF by Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, President of India.
The trustees that drive the organization are Managing Director, President, Executive Director, and Legal Advisor of Hyundai Motor India and the funding is received completely by Hyundai. It is also known that Rs 100 of each Hyundai car sale is also contributed to the funds of HMIF.

Road Safety
Hyundai is committed to road safety and undertakes various initiatives to ensure low number of road fatalities and car accidents. The car manufacturer helps create awareness of traffic rules and regulations and also impart knowledge on road discipline. Furthermore, the company ensures road safety by producing the safest vehicles for the Indian roads.
Hyundai has a key desire to make Indian roads safer and this desire led to Hyundai’s partnership with Institute of Road Traffic Education and Delhi Traffic Police. The three together introduced a road safety programme known as “Hyundai Traffic Squad“.
Hyundai Traffic Squad is a student traffic volunteer scholarship scheme under which young college and university students help the police in management of traffic for about three hours during peak traffic hours. They also help bus drivers and passengers at the bus stops by preventing overcrowding and jostling while boarding. According to the scheme all the students who volunteer receive a stipend of Rs 100 per month. This scheme is till now valid in Delhi and a similar scheme in other metro cities like Kolkatta, Bangalore, and Mumbai will further extend Hyundai’s reach in the road safety sector.
The scheme also provides verbal and physical training to all the students with respect to hand signaling and practical control of traffic. In verbal or class room training all the students are imparted knowledge about traffic control devices, road laws, types of road users, types of driving habits, administering first-aid, post accident management, road geometric, and environmental features.

Health Care
There are many remote areas in India where there is a huge scarcity of food and water. People there are deprived of even the basic necessities of life. HMIF plays a crucial role here and helps improve the condition of people by providing them the basic necessities. The company has done extensive work to provide a permanent source of water through various processes like water harvesting and water management.
Hyundai has also adopted four villages as a part of its community development project where the company helps people of these villages in the areas of primary health care, education, basic amenities, and employment opportunities.
