Our CSR impact
Making the difference
At Bharat Forge, we are change initiators. We believe that the stronger we grow, the greater responsibility we have on us to drive social development. We are applying our knowledge, research and expertise to constantly improve the way we fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibilities and maximize its impact by setting greater goals.
We undertake need-based programs by identifying key problems through discussions with villagers and local influencers. Addressing water crisis is one of the key focus areas for which, we have aligned ourselves with the Government’s Jalyukt Shivar program. Having already touched 69 villages in Maharashtra and created a capacity of over 900 Million liters of water, we intend to scale it to 100 villages. We have undertaken several water infrastructure projects focused on benefiting agriculture and making available safe drinking water. Land leveling activities were carried out to assist farmers. With a focus on empowering women with better health, we undertook awareness programs on health, nutrition and early diagnosis for breast and cervical cancer by setting a cancer screening and hemoglobin camps. We also undertook road building activities to improve accessibility to villages.
Education of underprivileged children is an important agenda for us. We have partnered NGOs for developing infrastructure and improving quality of education to keep the children motivated. Aligning with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s agenda for constructing toilets in schools, we undertake building, maintaining and repairing toilets every year. In FY 2019, we constructed toilets across 8 schools benefiting a total of 800+ students. We also undertook infrastructure improvement initiatives like school wall painting, constructing compound wall and stage, waterproofing of classes and window restoration. Teacher training was provided aimed at promoting effective and interactive ways of teaching.
We focus on women empowerment by providing them training and vocational courses in cloth and paper bag-making along with facilitating market connections. We have also aligned with the Clean India initiative for which we organized several awareness rallies, sessions and cleanliness drives reaching out to 154,000 people across 32 villages. We undertook a green village program, planting over 14,000 trees.
We collaborated with CII and College of Engineering, Pune to support 90 rural background graduates through technical and soft skill training to enhance their motivation and employability.
We undertake efforts to identify and push promising sportspersons from villages by facilitating them necessary resources, training and encouragement. Several such sportsperson are today representing the country on global platforms.
We undertake various initiatives to provide employees a chance to contribute towards the social welfare. We organize ‘Daan Utsav’ every year where employees can contribute funds. Various departments are encouraged to conduct individual CSR projects.
