Celebrating 50 years of Coal India Limited
Celebrating 50 years of Coal India Limited
New Delhi, India: Continuing to meet India’s coal requirement and bolstering the energy sector, the state owned Coal India Limited (CIL) stepped into its 50th year of inception on 1st November 2024. CIL came into being on 1st November 1975 as an apex holding company of the nationalized coking coal (1971) and non-coking mines (1973).
From 89 Million Tonne (MT) production during 1975-76, the year CIL was formed, the Maharatna coal behemoth under the Ministry of Coal ended FY 2024 with 773.6 MT output – an 8.7 fold growth. With 80% of its entire supplies directed to coal based power plants at highly competitive rates CIL plays a key role in enabling the citizens getting power at a just price.
Though CIL’s employee strength fell sharply by almost a third to 2.25 Lakhs now from 6.75 Lakh employees during the early years of Nationalization, the production has taken an upward leap.
Congratulating Coal India, Union Minister of Coal and Mines, Shri G Kishan Reddy said, “As Coal India enters into its Golden Jubilee Year with many milestones under its belt, I convey my best wishes to the company. Coal is yet to peak to its full potential in India. Indigenous production is vital to avoid expensive imports. Coal India has to ramp up production to higher levels in future with equal importance to people oriented social responsibility, welfare and safety”.
It had been an eventful near five decade journey for CIL. The company braved many changes and challenges, trials and tribulations but managed to deliver what was expected of it. From a pure play coal producing company, Coal India is now diversifying into solar power, pithead power stations, coal gasification and critical minerals in the National interest.
Beginning 2007, CIL had been formally observing its Foundation Day celebration as an in-house event. This includes J B Kumaramangalam Memorial lecture by either a former Chairman or an Industry expert and bestowing awards on best performers. This year as well the company will be celebrating the event on 3rd November in Kolkata with the Coal Minister as the Chief Guest and Coal Secretary as Guest of Honour.

सीमेंट और निर्माण सामग्री में अग्रणी कंपनी एसीसी के सीएसआर पहल से महिलाएं सशक्त बन रही है। अडानी फाउंडेशन के साथ मिलकर एसीसी टिकरिया उत्तर प्रदेश में ग्रामीण उद्यमिता यानी Rural Entrepreneurship को बढ़ावा दे रही है। इस पहल के तहत ACC Cements और अडानी फाउंडेशन (Adani Foundation) ने टिकरिया में 12 सेल्फ हेल्प ग्रुप्स (SHGs) का गठन किया है जो कि ग्रामीण क्षेत्र के सामाजिक-आर्थिक स्थिति को बदलने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं। गुडूर ग्राम पंचायत की आबादी लगभग 2,000 की है। पहले ये पंचायत सामाजिक-आर्थिक समस्याओं से जूझ रही थी।

एसीसी और अडानी फाउंडेशन ने स्थापित किया सेल्फ हेल्प ग्रुप्स, ग्रामीण महिलाओं की कमाई में बढ़ोतरी

यहां के अधिकांश लोग कृषि और मजदूरी पर निर्भर थे और अक्सर गरीबी रेखा से नीचे जीवनयापन कर रहे थे। गांव में आवश्यक सेवाएं जैसे कि अस्पताल, बैंक और बाजार 13 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित हैं, जो कि गांव के लोगों के लिए पहुंच से बाहर थी। इस स्थिति को देखते हुए, एसीसी ने अडानी फाउंडेशन के सहयोग से 12 सेल्फ हेल्प ग्रुप्स की स्थापना की। इन समूहों के माध्यम से स्माल फाइनेंस और व्यवसाय प्रशिक्षण प्रदान किया गया, जिससे कई परिवारों का जीवन स्तर सुधर रहा है और उन्हें अपनी आजीविका को बेहतर बनाने में मदद मिल रही है।

अदाणी फाउंडेशन की पहल से गांव की सामाजिक-आर्थिक विकास हुई

गांव की 54 वर्षीय महिला सुंद्रा के जीवन में इस पहल ने बड़ा परिवर्तन लाया है। उन्होंने अपने SHG के माध्यम से 1.50 लाख का लोन लिया और इसका उपयोग कृषि उपकरणों में निवेश करने के लिए किया। यह कदम राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण आजीविका मिशन (NRLM) के तहत किया गया, और आज वह हर महीने 15,000 की कमाई कर रही हैं। इस कमाई से उनके परिवार की जीवनशैली में सकारात्मक बदलाव आया है और उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति में भी बदलाव आया है। एसीसी और अदाणी फाउंडेशन की इस पहल से सुंद्रा जैसे ग्रामीणों की सशक्तिकरण की कहानियां सामने आई हैं। यह पहल गांव में आर्थिक विकास को बढ़ावा दे रही है। जहां ग्रामीणों ने चुनौतियों को अवसरों में बदल दिया है। इन प्रयासों से न केवल ग्रामीण समुदाय में सुधार आया है बल्कि आत्मनिर्भरता की भावना भी जागृत हुई है।

China and India Start Disengagement at LOC

China and India Start Disengagement at LOC
China and India Start Disengagement at LOC
After years of tension between China and India, both countries are in the process of retaliating their armies away from the Line of Control in Ladakh’s Demchok and Depsang region. The armies of the two countries entered the process of disengagement at the two friction points on Friday last week. The move comes as India and China announced an agreement on 21st October, two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks in Russia. The talk, on the sidelines of the BRICS summit, aimed at repairing the ties between the neighbouring countries.
Disengagement at LOC and subsequently restoring patrolling rights in Demchok and the Debsang plains are the first steps towards repairing tensions between India and China. This will follow the second step of de-escalation and the third step of de-induction at LOC, by both nations. 

India’s Relation with China

During the Nehruvian time, India’s relations with China were considered brotherly and the then prime minister also declared India’s trust in its neighbouring nations. But soon a dispute over territory was converted into a full-blown war in 1975, in which India was reduced to a weaker side in compromising. This was a big hit on India that created a lot of trust deficit.
Since then, tensions around the India-China border have been persistently present. The relationship between the two countries plunged even further after the Chinese incursion in eastern Ladakh in May 2020, during the Covid lockdown. At the same time, an armed stand-off led to the killing of a few Indian officers too.
Earlier as well, the Chinese PLA cut off Indian access to petrol points 10 to 13 in the Depsang Valley. In Demchok as well, the Chinese troops held Charding Nallah, preventing the Indian Army from entering or patrolling. 
After the latest agreement of October 21, the two countries have finally decided to reconcile. Zhang Xiaogang, the Chinese spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence, said in a media interaction that “China and India have reached a resolution on the issue concerning the border areas through diplomatic and military channels.”
On the same issue, Chinese President Xi Jinping also the PTI, “We hope the Indian side will work together with China to take important common understandings between the two leaders as guidance and continuously implement the above mentioned resolutions and jointly safeguard peace and tranquillity along the border areas.”

The New Agreement

Both parties were able to resolve their conflict of interests and could benefit from the agreement that was signed in October using no force. The agreement became important to China as the army would be able to invest somewhere else other than LOC. That is why, China has already agreed on disengagement at the frictional points: PP14 (Galvan Valley), PP15 (Hot Springs,), PP 17A (Gogra), North and South banks of Pangong Tso. But the country, until a year ago, was very reluctant to discuss anything around the sound plane and them chowk. 
With this new agreement, the process of removal of both the army as well as temporary structures erected by the Chinese army will be initiated. In light of this, the Chinese military said on Thursday that troops of India and China are making progress in implementing the new agreement. However, the Chinese foreign ministry has yet to give any comment on reports that Indian and Chinese troops have completely disengaged at the friction points. 
In the month of October, leaders of the two countries agreed that China and India should view and handle the bilateral relations from a strategic and long-term perspective. This will ensure saving the all over relations between the two countries without causing any financial loss to either.

This initiative is part of AJAX’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts to address the infrastructural challenges faced by the existing OPD, which currently manages over 800 cases daily.  Also, AJAX Charitable Trust recognized the Non-availability of a Blood Bank facility in the region. To date, AJAX has invested approximately two crore INR in this project, alongside further investments for setting up a Blood Bank and Dialysis Centre.
The new OPD, located on the ground floor, is capable of handling 600 cases per day, while the Dialysis Centre will include 10 beds. Additionally, Blood bank which will be on the first floor will cater to the immediate need of blood for patient use.
These enhancements are designed to alleviate pressure on the current healthcare infrastructure and ensure timely medical care for patients. This initiative aligns government objectives to strengthen rural healthcare through sustainable and impactful public-private partnerships, anticipating the growing need for robust healthcare services in the region.
Sri Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister of Health & Family Welfare, lauded the initiative, stating, “Strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure is a top priority for the government, and it is heartening to see companies like AJAX Engineering actively contributing to this mission. This project will go a long way in improving medical access for rural communities.”
Sri K.H. Muniappa, Minister of Food & Civil Supplies Consumer Affairs, commented on the partnership, “This initiative demonstrates the power of public-private partnerships in driving social change. AJAX Engineering Charitable Trust’s contribution will help address the healthcare challenges in Doddaballapura and provide much-needed services to the community.”
The event was attended by various dignitaries, including elected representatives of Doddaballapura Taluk, municipal councillors, and members of the hospital’s health protection committee.
Speaking on behalf of AJAX Engineering, K Vijay, Chairman, said “The development of these critical healthcare facilities in Doddaballapura is an essential response to the increasing demand for medical services in the region. By supporting the construction of the OPD, Blood Bank, and Dialysis Centre, we aim to ensure timely access to life-saving care for residents. This project reflects AJAX’s commitment to addressing specific community needs through meaningful, targeted initiatives that create lasting value.”
The expansion project at the hospital is aimed at responding to the increased patient demand observed in recent years, which has placed significant strain on the hospital’s infrastructure. The new facilities will offer enhanced treatment options, particularly for those requiring outpatient care and dialysis services, which are crucial for managing chronic health conditions in the community.

CSR: #StopFoodWastage Movement Launched With “Ek Vichaar” Campaign

CSR: #StopFoodWastage Movement Launched With “Ek Vichaar” Campaign
Wastage of edible items is an issue that plagues Indian households and businesses alike. As per the UN Environment Programme’s latest report the per capita food wastage figure in India is 55 kg per year whereas on the other end of the spectrum more than 13% of India’s total population suffers from malnutrition. This mind-boggling contrast has long been a serious issue and needs to be addressed collectively by all sections of the society.
Ram Bandhu, a leading food products brand, has partnered with the volunteer-based surplus food redistribution organisation Robin Hood Army, to start the noble “Stop Food Wastage Movement” to spread awareness amongst the Indian masses regarding the prevention of food wastage.
As a part of this initiative, brand Ram Bandhu has released a thought provoking short film, aptly titled “Ek Vichaar”, with a compelling storyline highlighting the said disparity which forces the viewers to contemplate the way in which edible items are consumed and disposed of in their daily lives. The story depicts a typical Indian household with young children who end up wasting food on several occasions without realising its gravity; and it concludes with an impactful message about prevention of food wastage.
Organisations like Robin Hood Army assist with the proper channeling of surplus food to the needy; and as depicted in the film resorting to the assistance of such organisations and simple acts of feeding ones’ leftovers to the society’s stray animals, in a non-disruptive manner, are just some of the actions which can actually go a long way in tackling this significant yet often ignored issue.
Speaking about this social awareness movement the marketing head of Empire Spices & Foods Ltd. (ESFL), the company behind brand Ram Bandhu, Mr. Bhanudas Gundkar said, “Being one of the leading food FMCG brands we felt that it is our duty to bring to prominence the issue of food wastage prevalent in our society and suggest practical solutions which can make a difference. Hence we came up with this short film”.
The film is a digital-only release and stars well-known Maharashtrian actor Chinmay Udgirkar. It has been produced by Amaze Productions and conceptualised by DigiChefs.
Madhuri Dixit-Nene is the brand ambassador of Ram Bandhu’s range of spices, pickles and papads.
ESFL’s brand portfolio includes the brands Ram Bandhu, RBM, Temptin’ and Zaiqa. These are loved by the masses for the taste, variants and convenience that they bring. The company has its presence in the markets across 14 states in India in more than half a million retail shops. The company also has been exporting its products to countries like US, UK, Canada, Spain, France, New Zealand, Qatar, Dubai,Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg among others.

Railway Protection Force Enhances Security Measures for Diwali, Shares Essential Safety Tips for Passengers
Amid the festive rush, Indian Railways is making every effort to ensure safe travel and avoid any untoward incidents. Transporting people across India during Diwali and Chhath is a challenging task, but after successfully managing similar operations during Navratri and Durga Puja, Indian Railways is now fully prepared to help commuters reach their native places for the ongoing Deepawali and upcoming Chhath celebrations.
If you come across any suspicious substances on railway premises, please inform the Railway Protection Force (RPF) using the designated helpline 139 & Rail Madad portal. As Diwali approaches, bringing light, joy, and a surge in travel across the country, the RPF has implemented strengthened safety measures to ensure secure and seamless train journeys for millions of passengers.
To ensure safe travel during this festive season, RPF has launched an all-encompassing safety drive to curb fire hazards and prevent accidents on the railway network. In collaboration with various stakeholders in Railways, RPF’s awareness campaign includes distributing leaflets, displaying eye-catching posters, performing engaging street plays (Nukkad Nataks), and broadcasting public announcements. Social, print, and electronic media are being mobilized to reach all travellers. Enhanced luggage inspections and parcel checks, alongside monitoring of vendors and hawkers using portable stoves (sigris), have been underway since October 15, 2024, to prevent any fire risks.
So far, this proactive drive has led to 56 individuals being booked under the Railway Act for carrying hazardous, inflammable items. Additionally, 550 people have been penalized for smoking on trains and 2,414 individuals were booked under various provisions of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA).
“Diwali and Chhath are festivals of joy and togetherness, and the safety of our passengers remains our top priority,” said Shri Manoj Yadava, Director General, RPF. “We urge passengers to be vigilant and cooperate with our personnel to ensure a secure journey,” he added
With the aim of preventing accidents and crimes, RPF has issued a comprehensive safety advisory to safeguard passengers travelling in railways
