Impact Assessment of NMDC’s CSR Initiatives Executive Summary Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large. National Mineral Development Corporation Limited (NMDC)– a Navratna company, serves the interests of the society by taking responsibility for the impact of its business. As part of CSR, NMDC has taken up multifarious initiatives and has implemented several development projects in the focus areas like education, cultural development, potable drinking water and sanitation, health care, skill development, livelihoods support, agriculture and infrastructure development etc., in mines exploration areas and other neighboring areas as part of its obligation. As a special initiative, NMDC is implementing two programmes viz., a) Integrated Village Development (IVD) and b) Hospital on Wheels (HoW) through a philanthropical organisation, called as Shamayita Math. Since these two programs are considered as vital, NMDC has approached the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR), under Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India to conduct an Impact Assessment (IA) study. The study team has thoroughly investigated among all the facets of Integrated Village Development program is being implemented since 2009. To assess the ground realities, the study team has conducted Focus Group Discussions in the selected 15 villages where both IVD and HoW programmes were under implementation and had interactions with 75 IVD beneficiaries and 75 HoW beneficiaries. Further the researcher has used check lists and questionnaires to collect primary data from the beneficiaries of the villages and the officials of both NMDC and Shamayita Math. Integrated Village Development (IVD): The Integrated Village Development has been visualized in terms of developmental challenges that aims to enhance overall income of the poor families residing in the study area by improving their farming systems through innovative approaches and modern system of cultivation practices. Under this program, three major segments were considered viz. a) agriculture development practices such as exposure visits of the farmers for upgrading their skills and knowledge, supplying of seed, inputs and agricultural implements, livestock improvement, infrastructure development that includes supply of pump sets, sprinklers and drip irrigation systems, fencing material etc. were considered to support farming communities, b) Vocational Training for women SHGs, youth and farmers on organic farming practices and processing and marketing of Non Timber Forest Produces (NTFP) and its value additions, and c) Education support systems that ensures quality education with the support of Tutors, supplying of learning material and provision of nutritional supplements to the students in the study areas. The Integrated Village Development program in these selected villages gave boost to prefer changing of cultivation patterns from traditional cultivation method to modern systems even for other food and cash crops. This is one of the major shifts among the farmers in their cultivation patterns and major initiative by the NMDC through Shamayita Math. The study results from the field showing that the development of agriculture in the villages where the IVD and HoW programs are under implementation, is not only improving but also reducing poverty among the tribal households. Based on the field study, NMDC has focused on different IVD initiatives in the Kuakonda block of Dantewada district. The study has indicated positive results of the initiatives and recommends that NMDC can continue these initiatives with more specific operational manuals for the areas like Agriculture National Institute of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj, Hyderabad (India). i Impact Assessment of NMDC’s CSR Initiatives Development, livelihoods sustainability among the youth and women and better education facilities to the children in the programme implementation villages. Further to inculcate the knowledge and skills among the women and youth, the NMDC has identified various trades that could easily reach the tribal beneficiaries in the operational areas such as mushroom cultivation, snacks (mixture, potato chips, etc.) preparation, pani-puri preparation and vending, tailoring, broom-binding, tamarind packaging and mini poultry farming etc. The Educational Support is yet another important initiative under IVD program of NMDC to make the right to education meaningful and seeks to enable and promote quality education for all tribal children in the programme implementation villages. The Shamayita Math distributes nutritious tiffin and Horlicks drink mixed with hot water to the tribal students of adopted schools every day in the study area. The Math also provides the learning material to the students to improve their learning abilities. Hospital on Wheels (HoW): NMDC’s health care intervention provide basic and urgent medical aids to every suffering tribal inhabitants at their respective villages through the program on Hospital on Wheels (HoW). The Hospital on Wheels is an innovative mobile health care unit that stocked with latest medical equipment and manned by qualified Doctors and para-medical staff including Two Nurses, ANM in a specially designed ambulance van and travel through its operation areas of Kuakonda

  • Residential Schools for Children in LWE-Affected Areas of Chhattisgarh
    EDUCATION 2.3 Pota Cabins: Residential schools for children in LWE-affected areas of Chhattisgarh Pota Cabins is an innovative educational initiative for building schools with impermanent materials like bamboo and plywood in Chhattisgarh. The initiative has helped reduce the number of out-of-school children and improve enrolment and retention of children since its introduction in 2011. The number of out-of-school children in the 6-14 years age group reduced from 21,816 to 5,780 as the number of Pota Cabins rose from 17 to 43 within a year of the initiative. These residential schools help ensure continuity of education from primary to middle-class levels in Left Wing Extremism affected villages of Dantewada district, by providing children and their families a safe zone where they can continue their education in an environment free of fear and instability. Rationale Secondly, it would also draw children away from the remote and interior areas of villages that are more prone to Left Wing Extremists violence. As these schools are perceived The status of education in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh as places where children can receive adequate food and was abysmal. As per a 2005 report, the literacy rate of the education, they are often referred to Potacabins locally, as state stood at 30.2% against the state average of 64.7%.1 ‘pota’ means ‘stomach’ in the local Gondi language. The development deficit in the Dakshin Bastar area, which includes Dantewada district, has been largely attributed to the remoteness of villages, lack of proper infrastructure Objectives such as roads and bridges, and weak penetration of communication technology.

COVID-19 is a severe problem for many countries and to control and prevent the spread of this problem implemented the lockdown approach in many countries, including India. In this lockdown situation, almost all people are staying at home for 24 hours. Due to the present status of COVID-19, the Indian government also xed the 67 days lockdown and one day was already successfully done as Janta Curfew, which worked the same as a lockdown. The value of indoor gamma dose rates was reported higher in most places as compared to the outdoor gamma dose rate, but in this pandemic situation, occupancy factor values are not applicable as recommended by UNSCEAR for calculation of Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE).

It was only when the concept of Human Development evolved, that the parameters of growth were enlarged to include social indicators coupled with economic variables. In this backdrop, with this Human Development Report, Chhattisgarh joins a selected band of States who have published such Human Development Reports. I would like to congratulate UNDP and the Planning Commission, Government of India for joining hands for preparing the First Human Development Report.
