EOI for Impact Assessment Study of Corporate Social Responsibility Projects

We, with a vision of commissioning 6000 MW of power by 2020 in thermal, solar and hydro are a leading player in the energy sector from India. We are in advanced stage of commissioning over 5000 MW by 2017 of combined power assets at an estimated investment of INR 35000 crores ( USD 5.15 bn). In addition to the above, we are also developing over 6100 MW of capacity using conventional and non-conventional energy sources in India, Europe and the USA. India is the fourth largest consumer of energy in the world after USA, China and Russia but it is not replete with abundant energy resources. It must, therefore, meet its development needs by using all available resources. This understanding helped the Company to focus on renewable energy in short-mid-term, and conventional energy for mid-long term. Secured supply chains, diversified customer base and focus on right technology for the geography is ensuring a risk mitigated growth.

We have consistently been focusing on giving maximum returns to its stakeholders through corporate growth and social responsibility. Our head quartered is in New Delhi and has power generation assets in the states of Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh in India and in countries like Germany, Italy, US, UK and Japan.

Corporate Social Responsibility at our organisation is geared towards enhancing the relationship of company with its various stakeholders and provides best developmental opportunities. It’s initiatives are geared towards addressing the needs and challenges of sustainable livelihoods, better health and education.

The journey from a new entrant in the energy sector to one of the leading companies in India in energy sector was possible because of the positive change in the communities. Be the safety standards in our power generation plants, or upholding ethical governance practices, the organization has been maintaining the highest standards of environmental consciousness. Right from constituting a committee to guide and monitor its CSR programmes, to evolving interventions in accordance to the needs of the respective local communities, our team has established itself as a partner to the local communities in their sustained development.

Our focus towards ensuring food sufficiency and sustainable livelihoods by promoting farm and non-farm based livelihood activities has met with lot of success. Named SAFAL, during the last 6 years the program has reached out to around 7000 families in two development blocks through our multiple livelihood enhancement programs like improved paddy wheat and chickpea cultivation, vegetable cultivation, rejuvenation of the lac sector and backyard poultry.

In the area of education its program, TALEEM has managed to mainstream and support children who have dropped out of school. The program also works with parents through parent teacher groups and the administrative system so that a child gets all the support she/he requires in their journey to attain education.

Health program (AROGYA) cover the entire gamut of emergency ambulatory services, outreach clinics, health camps to consistent health messaging with beneficiary groups in contiguous villages. The milestones are many, the journey is challenging but the rewards of development entice us to continue with its relentless march.
