WHAT DRIVES THE DREAM<br />
GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY<br />
The Governance Philosophy at <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> refers to a set<br />
of laws, regulations and good practices that enable an<br />
organisation to perform efficiently and ethically, and<br />
create value for all its stakeholders.<br />
At The <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> Foundation, we are committed to the<br />
belief that adoption of the best governance practices will<br />
take us a long way. It’s also in us to not just aspire to be<br />
a truly world-class not-for-profit organisation, but also<br />
adhere to a governance model that’s world-class.<br />
Our governance practices reflect the culture of the<br />
trusteeship that is deeply ingrained in our value system.<br />
In line with this philosophy,<br />
The <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> Foundation<br />
continuously strives for<br />
excellence through adoption<br />
of best governance practices.<br />
THE CORE PHILOSOPHY RESTS<br />
ON FOUR BASIC TENETS:<br />
• Board accountability to the<br />
Foundation and stakeholders<br />
• Equitable treatment to all<br />
stakeholders<br />
• Strategic guidance and effective<br />
monitoring by the Board<br />
• Transparency and timely disclosure<br />
