EDUCATION, SKILLS & EMPOWERMENT

We are better together and in our deep belief in this, we are now ambitiously pursuing making our skills projects circular, whilst empowering communities.

Culture is important to our communities. We approach our communities with sensitization and feel honoured to be a small part of their spiritual wellbeing.

ENVIRONMENT

At Balasore Alloys, we celebrate the importance of the environment by being conscious of our impact and constantly working towards sustainable afforestation, which not only contributes to the maintenance of environmental standards but also directly supports the communities’ food chain. We also strive to bring about continuous awareness and this will be supported by a CSR Month dedicated to events that strengthen and enhance our community engagement.

These free camps have helped some patients that needed treatment.” Besides the regular checkups, maternity-related issues and infant healthcare, the team of doctors advised villagers on how to maintain proper hygiene at all times.

Water Project inauguration as part of our Water and Sanitation drive

Balasore Alloys Ltd. handed over the key to the newly inaugurated Rankia village water project on 15th March 2019. Due to shortages of this vital resource, especially during the height of the dry season, women had hitherto to walk miles to harness it. The new water tank is thus not only a source of sustainable development in the village which contributes to our water and sanitation drive, but we hope that it will contribute to the empowerment of the people and notably, the women, of Rankia village who are both the beneficiaries and the beholden.
