Community Development In The North East For CSR

India is the fastest growing economy in world. Statements like these are often made these days. And they are not false. India is really developing at a great speed. But with India growing up so fast as a country, we as its citizens have to grow too. It is not really progress if only part of the society is experiencing the benefits of development while others are still living without basic needs being fulfilled.

Community development is a concept that has been taken seriously and adopted by many corporates as well as the government, in order to mark an overall development. Education being a key to the development, much more emphases has been given to it.

Taking this into consideration and Moving forward on its commitment to improve the lives of local communities in Assam, Dabur India Ltd has announced the expansion of its CSR drive in the state with the adoption of two new government schools in Tezpur – Jyoti Soworani Lower Primary School and Binapani Lower Primary School.

The organization is also working towards raising awareness amongst the school-going kids about the importance of Environment Sustainability through a mass plantation drive.

Mr. Partho Ganguly, Dabur India Ltd Vice President-HR & IR said, “Promotion of education is a key pillar of the CSR strategy as we believe that education is both the means to a better life and a key to ensure overall development of the society.”

Dabur plans to undertake complete revamp of the school infrastructure, which includes revamping the classrooms and improving the sanitation facilities in these schools. Prior to this, the organization had undertaken a major revamp of Dhekidol LP School, which included upgrading the classrooms and building, revamping the sanitation infrastructure for students besides construction of a concrete boundary wall.

The School Support initiative is a result of detailed discussions with the school authorities and has been developed keeping their specific needs in mind.
