India is currently at the peak of the pandemic with a large number of positive cases being reported daily, giving rise to the need for additional quarantine centres.

Patanjali Asked to Stop Promotions of Corona Cure till Verification

By
Hency Thacker
-
Patanjali Ayurveda Limited – the pioneer in ayurvedic and herbal consumer products had made a claim that its research institute had discovered the cure of COVID-19 through Ayurveda. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev – the face of Patanjali claimed that Coronil had proved 100% effective in treating Coronavirus during trials.
The claim has shaken up the country with disbelief as well as hope. The company as well as Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna have been questioned on social media and tagged irresponsible for making such unreal claims. The press release also grabbed the attention of the Ministry of AYUSH who has asked the company to stop promoting the medicine as a cure to COVID until it verifies the claim.
The COVID-19 outbreak has created a panic in the world. With no cure or vaccine in sight and an increasing number of cases, the countries of the world are getting more and more desperate to find an effective treatment for the disease. All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Council of Scientific Research (CSIR) organised a nation-wide drug discovery hackathon. This is a high-end hackathon where students are trained with information on how to do computational drug discovery.
In addition to this, pharma companies are on their feet in a race to figure out a cure for the virus. However, so far the companies have been unsuccessful to find a sure shot method of treatment. While they have been able to find alternative medicines to control the symptoms of patients, the researchers are nowhere near in finding an accurate treatment of the viral disease.
News of finding a cure in Ayurveda seems too good to be true at such a time. Amid such suspicion and heavy speculation considering the volatile nature of health scenario of the country, making a claim that the medicine is 100% effective without proving it and waiting for government approval, is beyond irresponsible. It not only creates fake hope among people, but also puts lives of people at risk.
Hypothetically, even of the company was successful in finding the cure, there is no reason why it decided to not follow a protocol that would only help in building trust. The move has been condemned by many in the country and the government has asked the company to hold off the promotions till the company receives approval. However, the question is, how much damage would it cause to the poor of the country who may have been vulnerable and believed the claims. A single act of irresponsibility can hit the largest Ayurveda oriented company very negatively because of the claim.

This young girl changed the way her village cooks food

By
Kasmin Fernandes
-
People in the little village of Gunvata in Rajasthan’s Amer district had been falling prey to various illnesses from burning unclean fuel for cooking. They relied heavily on fuel sources such as firewood and cow dung cakes for cooking food indoors. The smoke from these fires adversely affects women’s health the most since they do all the cooking in these parts. Due to this practice of chopping wood, the local forest department was also concerned about the depleting tree cover. All that was about to change because one girl fulfilled her citizen social responsibility.
Jyoti Yogi is a student of Satya Bharti School, the flagship CSR initiative of Bharti Airtel Ltd. The young student attended a Swachh Bharat event organised by her school where she heard about the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna. This government scheme was initiated by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas with the aim of safeguarding women and children’s health. It provided LPG gas connections to women from families below the poverty line.

Air pollution from cooking on a chula indoors chokes millions of Indian rural women every year
Jyoti also learnt of the importance of using clean fuel and its impact on the environment. Her teachers had taught her that the responsibility of caring for the environment lies with every citizen; on hearing the Sarpanch talk about the benefits of PM Ujjwala Yojana, Jyoti Yogi resolved to take on the challenge of creating awareness in her village and persuade the families to avail of this scheme.
The motivated young girl went door-to-door to raise awareness about the ill effects of dirty fuel and the benefits of the government scheme. Initially, her parents were not in favour of Jyoti’s door-to-door campaign; they were afraid of criticism from neighbours and feared that her studies would be neglected. They threatened to withdraw Jyoti from school, but she did not give up and continued to campaign extensively in her community.
Her teachers came out in full support and also assured her parents that she wouldn’t be left behind in studies, by giving her extra lessons. Jyoti’s resolve to increase awareness in the community led to many families applying for PM Ujjwala Yojana and even more to join her in her campaign, leading many villagers to gain benefit from the scheme. Their health improved and incidences of respiratory illness reduced. This is the paradigm shift one passionate young girl can make!

Embassy Services Pvt. Ltd. (ESPL) in collaboration with the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) launched a cutting edge Drone Disinfection Drive in Worli, Mumbai on June 22. Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Aaditya Thackeray and the honorable Mayor Kishori Pednekar oversaw the drive.
This method was used for the disinfection of mosquito breeding grounds and other vector-borne diseases in areas that are usually inaccessible. These drones can fly over 500m high for a period of 12 hours while carrying over 15 litres of disinfectant; they can cover an area of over 50 acres in a single day. This innovation is a much-needed thorough solution for the post-pandemic world.

Integrated facility management organizations will be a core function in the future of space management where hygiene and sanitization are of paramount importance, and health and safety will be most crucial. Organizations like Embassy Services will entrust their expertise, ensuring a cleaner world and a safer future for all of us.
ESPL through its operational arm, TCFM (Technique Control Facility Management) were behind this process. With innovation as one of their core values, the team assembled the microbial disinfection kit to have an ability to be hoisted by an industrial drone. Aerial Microbial Disinfection is the terminology of the method used where chemical tanks are hoisted to spray from an aerial view thus covering more space and saving lots of time.
The drone can carry antilarval chemicals to sites usually inaccessible. The tech can also be used to combat the coronavirus in high-density areas with less accessibility. Over 50 acres can be covered in a day using a single drone. The chemicals used such as Virex II 256,  Vecon (Sodium Hypochlorite) Viroff, Pursue, and Lysol solution have proven highly effective against 65 strains of virus from over 19 viral families, 400 strains of bacteria, and over 100 strains of fungi.
“Using technology to elevate the world through integrated facility management has always been one of the key drivers of our organization’s success. We take pride in leading this initiative in collaboration with BMC and look forward to working on similar initiatives,” said Pradeep Lala, MD & CEO., Embassy Services Private Limited. Such solutions have multiple facets of use and this contributes to the array of efficient solutions needed for the post-pandemic world.

LIXIL committing $1m for accelerated rollout of SATO Tap for handwashing

By
The CSR Journal
-
SATO, LIXIL Group Corporation’s social business that aims to solve water, sanitation, and hygiene problems by providing affordable and easy-to-install sanitation systems to local communities around the world, has today introduced its new handwashing solution called the ‘SATO Tap’.
According to UNICEF, 40% of the world’s population still does not have access to basic handwashing facilities at home. To address this immense challenge, LIXIL has committed USD 1 million in line with its promise to support the commitments of development partners and others, which could impact 5 million people with improved handwashing. This resonates with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (‘self-reliant India’).
“The COVID-19 situation underscores the vast inequities in access to water, sanitation, and hygiene for households in Asia and globally.  We know that washing your hands with soap is one of the effective interventions against disease transmission. By bringing SATO’s design and engineering expertise, combined with global LIXIL support, we aim to accelerate this new handwashing innovation to market, making it available to households to reinforce handwashing behaviour change and to refine it for long-term offering in the SATO product portfolio,” said Erin McCusker, Vice President & Head of SATO.
SATO has worked with partners during the design process, receiving valuable technical inputs and helping to validate the efficacy of the SATO Tap design which consists of a plastic base with a nozzle that can be fitted with widely available plastic bottles. It is compact and can be used both within the home and as a handwashing station at public facilities. The design ensures minimal contact between the user and the tap, thereby reducing the spread of disease, while the trickle action minimises water use, meaning fewer refills while maintaining a solid flow of water.
In addition to providing an affordable handwashing facility to disadvantaged households through the SATO Tap, LIXIL’s existing partnership with UNICEF will also expand activities in handwashing and sanitation in response to COVID-19. These activities range from collection of commercial and behavioural insights to strengthen behaviour change, joint advocacy to promote hygiene programming and maximizing existing public and private sector networks and supply chains to expand access to handwashing.
“We know that one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of diseases is to wash your hands. But for the poorest and most vulnerable children and families, the immediate risk of COVID-19 is compounded by a lack of basic handwashing facilities,” said Kelly Ann Naylor, UNICEF, Associate Director, WASH. “This global pandemic has made it more essential than ever to work closely with governments and private sector partners, like LIXIL, to ensure handwashing is possible for all.”
Speaking on the need for innovative hygiene solutions, Daigo Ishiyama, Chief Technology and Marketing Officer SATO, said, “We believe the SATO Tap will help advocate life-changing behaviour. It will promote hygiene and reinforce handwash behaviour change by mitigating risks while conserving water. Our vision is well-aligned with the Government of India’s vision and priorities for its people in promoting hygiene and advancing SDG 6 by 2030.”
The first SATO Taps will be manufactured in India and will be made available for partners in September 2020, with ramping up of production and retail availability through early 2021. LIXIL is also working to establish other licensing partners to expand to other markets globally.

We want to enrich the society with endeavors that are relevant, self-sustainable and meaningful. Therefore, our emphasis is to always secure the strong support of local communities so that each initiative can attain good sustainability. When we studied our neighboring community, the biggest threat was the access to treated water. Hence, in 2013 we harnessed our CSR program to invest in the creation of adequate infrastructure to increase access to safe and affordable drinking water. Today, we are humbled to announce, that we have touched over 2,60,000 in 250 villages.
It also gives us immense satisfaction that our CSR initiatives are meaningful and have so far touched the lives of more than 14,00,000 people with a commitment to bring in socio-economic development. With our continued commitment towards these causes we hope to continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. DC Thammanna, MLA and Ex -Transport Minister Government of Karnataka said, “As responsible citizens, ensuring the health, safety and hygiene of the communities is of utmost importance. The Government, local authorities & Corporates must come together in understanding and catering to the critical needs of the neighboring community. Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a major cause of worry. By setting up these water units, Toyota has made a significant contribution to address this problem. I strongly believe that with the support of companies like Toyota, we will be able to make more and more villages free from such indispensable issues and aid them for a better tomorrow.”
Starting 2001, CSR has been an integral part of TKM’s philosophy. The voluntary initiatives taken up by TKM and our employees focus primarily on scalability and sustainability. The activities revolve around five main themes of Education, Environment, Health & Hygiene, Road Safety and Skill Development. These themes are aligned on the need of the community at large and national priorities with the aim to consistently work to adopt outcome and impact-oriented approach in all our social projects to ensure.
In the areas of Health & Hygiene, TKM has taken series of initiatives to counter the growing concerns around insufficient sanitation facilities in government schools and lack of adequate training among school children. TKM has pledged its support to the ‘Swachh Bharat campaign.’ Under this initiative, TKM has constructed 907 school sanitation units in Ramanagara district in Karnataka [includes 125 units are located in Varanasi and 125 units in Vaishali in Bihar].  Around 29,406 girl children are benefitted from this program.
Recognizing the need for a new approach, TKM also initiated the ABCD project with a focus on bringing in a behavioral change. The Project ABCD (A Behavioral Change Demonstration) not only aims at achieving 100% school sanitation by increasing awareness, it also promoters dignity and privacy for the girl child by upgrading existing unhygienic school toilets to usable condition as well as to promote learning and retention among school children, teachers as well as the community members.  Under this program, a special initiative of motivating community to construct individual household sanitation units was undertaken and more than 10,754 individual household units have been constructed and 92 villages were declared Open Defecation Free villages.

CSR News: Vedanta’s Nand Ghar project rolls out digital e-learning modules

By
The CSR Journal
-
Vedanta Limited’s, flagship project “Nand Ghar” has rolled out e-learning modules for home-schooling through WhatsApp groups across villages of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha.
The e-learning modules consists of stories, games, rhymes, home based activities, moral science lessons and more for children below six years of age. ICDS, Government of Rajasthan issued an order to roll out Nand Ghar e-content along with UNICEF e-content for children of all 60,000+ Anganwadi centres reaching out to more than 12 lac children in the state.
Complimenting Vedanta on this initiative, Dr. K. K. Pathak, Secretary, Women and Child Development Department, Govt. of Rajasthan, said, “Amidst the pandemic, with curtailed  classroom education, e-learning has come to the forefront across the world. I’m delighted that WCD, ICDS Rajasthan has been successfully imparting education across 60,000+ anganwadis through e-learning. This has been possible with the joint efforts of Vedanta and UNICEF who have provided the much needed support. From creation of e-learning content to on ground delivery, Vedanta’s contribution in this initiative is highly appreciable.”
At a juncture of a changing era, this initiative has proved to be a game changer.  It has opened a window of possibility, where-in Education is being made available and accessible to every child of around thousands of villages in India.
Speaking on the initiative, Anil Agarwal, Chairman – Vedanta Resources, said, “The spread of Covid-19 pandemic leading to closure of schools and colleges has affected billions of children and youth worldwide. The higher income families have access to technology and internet, however it is the lower income families that are bearing the brunt of the unprecedented pandemic. With the Anganwadi centres closed at this point, the need for uninterrupted education of children remains our priority. Thus, with the objective that no child is bereft of education, Nand Ghar has launched its e-learning modules through mobile phones reaching all Nand Ghar villages. This is a step on our part to bridge the gap and make sure that digital self-learning becomes an unlimited resource to all”
Vedanta project Nand Ghar has already constructed more than 1300 Nand Ghars across 7 states in India. The Nand Ghars are equipped with televisions for e-learning, solar panels for reliable power, safe drinking water, clean toilets and have emerged as an ideal model for replication in other parts of the country. The project aims to transform the lives of 8.5 crore children through 14 lakh anganwadis across the country.
The core services provided at Nand Ghars are pre-school education to children (3-6 years) through e-learning, BaLA designs and smart kits, nutrition through pre-packed hot cooked meals to children, pregnant and lactating women, healthcare through Mobile Health Van and support to Community Health Centre, women empowerment through skill, credit linkage and entrepreneurship development.

Indian companies may be able to trade surplus CSR funds under SSE

By
The CSR Journal
-
In a big move, companies which are spending heavily under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will soon be able to trade their excess component. This has been done on the recommendations of market watchdog SEBI’s high powered committee on Social Stock Exchange (SSE). Under this dispensation, companies that are spending more than the limit under the CSR rules can sell this surplus to those firms which have failed to meet their annual quota.
Currently, the excess CSR spend can’t be carried forward. SEBI has sought stakeholders views by June 30 after which the final guidelines will be put in place.

List Certificates

As per the suggestions, companies with surplus CSR spends would be able to list their certificates on the exchange platform for trading. The idea is somewhat similar to the Reserve Bank of India’s priority sector lending certificate trading platform.
Under SSE, the actual fund will be transferred from one company to the other against the CSR certificate. As per Companies Act 2013, eligible companies will have to spend 2% of their net profit of three preceding years on CSR. The committee has suggested that CSR certificates remain valid for 3-5 years and not be traded more than once. Social Stock Exchanges will be allowed to charge a small flat fee for facilitation of trading.
“Many-a-times companies’ CSR funds remain unutilised so a third party platform can connect the eligible entities with excess and deficit spends,” the recommendations stated.

SSE Origins

The concept of SSE was first mooted in the Union Budget of 2019. The markets regulator was assigned to suggest a road map after which a high powered committee was formed under Ishaat Hussain comprising social entrepreneurs, voluntary organisations, SEBI officials from Corporate Finance Department and Investment Management Department, and representative from the Finance Ministry.

Role of SSE

As per the recommendations, the SSE will have two primary roles, to effectively deploy the fundraising instruments and structures available under the regulatory guidelines towards social enterprises and to foster overall sector development by creating a capacity building unit.
Besides structure and ecosystem for Social Stock Exchanges, SEBI committee has also proposed tax benefits, like retaining section 80G, allowing corporates to deduct CSR expenditure from their taxable income, increasing the limits under the IT Act on charitable institutions raising funds from commercial or semi-commercial activities to 50% from the current 20% etc.

CSR News: WNS Cares Foundation launches free gamified cybersafety portal, Cybersmart

By
The CSR Journal
-
WNS (Holdings) Limited, through its CSR arm WNS Cares Foundation (WCF) today announced the national launch of CyberSmart portal. Ajay Prakash Sawhney, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), did the honours. CyberSmart is a holistic cybersafety learning ecosystem for education and empowerment of students, teachers, volunteers and parents, supported by NASSCOM.
Shamini Murugesh, Honorary Chief Mentor, WCF said, “The purpose of CyberSmart platform is to create awareness and educate students and parents about cybersafe behaviour through an engaging gamified learning model. The portal is currently available in three languages: English, Hindi & Marathi, and soon, it will be available in six more regional languages.” 
CyberSmart is a free-for-all gamified learning platform that uses thematic quiz-based modules. The portal offers age-appropriate learning journeys that are based on curriculum advisories and challenges that children commonly encounter in cyberspace. The platform offers a host of features that makes learning immersive and engaging for children, and covers a bandwidth of 50,000 concurrent users, without capturing any personal data.
A key feature of the portal is a ‘call for help’ button for children under duress. The portal also enables parents and teachers to impart cybersecurity education using a unique online and offline methodology.
Speaking at the launch, Sawhney said “As millions of children across the nation are increasingly accessing the internet for online learning due to COVID-19, the deployment and adoption of smarter cybersecurity measures like CyberSmart is crucial. This portal is very much in line with our mission to create a safe cyber environment for every citizen of the country, especially our children and youth. I am delighted to partner and launch CyberSmart portal on a national level.” 
“In an increasingly digital world, a seismic shift to smarter cybersecurity space is a critical need, especially for our children and youth. CyberSmart portal is an attempt to create a repository of age-appropriate content that is engaging and empowers our young generation alike to navigate the internet judiciously,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
Debjani Ghosh, President of NASSCOM said, “Launch of the CyberSmart portal could not have come at a more appropriate time. This resource is sure to benefit parents and teachers as much as it will impact students in learning about traversing cyberspace purposefully, during and post COVID-19 world. NASSCOM supports the CyberSmart initiative that would spur a safer internet landscape across the nation.”
In 2017, WCF ran a CSR awareness programme around the dangers of the digital world, CyberSword, through a competition which reached over 1,35,000 children across 345 schools in eight countries including India through a series of videos and multi-media presentations. Further, WCF launched a digital-led initiative, ThinkTalkTeach, in January 2019 and created two informative videos on the safe use of the internet for primary and secondary school students. This CSR initiative has garnered 1.3 million views on social media so far.
