Career - Benefits & Facilities

Providing well-maintained housing and community facilities is essential. Employees are encouraged to take pride in their homes through regular maintenance and renovation programs, with awards given for the best-kept homes and village emplacements.

   We currently provide approximately 4,650 residential units for employees and their families, with additional units under construction to accommodate future needs

   REA constructs homes using eco-friendly "batako" bricks, composed of a blend of boiler ash and cement, thereby reducing costs and environmental impact.

In addition to housing, healthcare, and education, we also support programmes that foster a sense of community and belonging.

1. Annual Celebrations:
   Events such as Independence Day and Family Day help strengthen employee bonding.
2. REA Care Initiative:
   A semi-formal voluntary network, REA Care, has been set up to support employees and non-employee volunteers involved in community-based social programs. This initiative aims to reinforce social connections and provide care for estate residents, especially within village settlements.
