CSR activities:
HCC is deeply committed to improving the quality of life of the communities that it operates in. Its strong sense of social responsibility is embedded in the Company’s values and actions.
To enhance the efficacy of its various social programmes, HCC has established a formal CSR team in the year under review. The team has been working towards translating the underlying principles to actionable results. The programmes covered in the CSR initiatives range from health and safety, to issues such as disaster management. Some of the programmes are briefly described below:
HIV and AIDS Awareness Programme
The HIV/AIDS awareness campaign launched by the Company in the beginning of 2004, has gained widespread acceptance. To give further impetus to this initiative, HCC has started Workplace Intervention Program (WPI), which seeks to actively promote the HIV/AIDS awareness among the chosen workforce at six chosen sites covering over 8,000 workers. Under the WPI program, the Company undertakes awareness session, condom demonstration and distribution followed by question and answer sessions. During the year the Company covered the Bandra Worli Sea Link Project, Maharashtra; the Kudankulam Nuclear Power project, Tamil Nadu; The Allahabad Bypass Project, Uttar Pradesh; The Chennai Bypass Project, Tamil Nadu; the Rajasthan Atomic power Project, Rajasthan; and the Munger Road – Cum – Rail Project, Bihar. During 2007-08,WPI will be introduced at 10 more sites covering around 10,000 workers.
Disaster Resource Network
HCC is a founder member of the Disaster resource Network (DRN) India, which uniquely focuses on the civil infrastructure dimensions of the disaster response and prepared ness. DRN works towards pulling seamless humanitarian assistance from public agencies and the engineering – construction industry on a global scale in case of natural disasters. The Company has come out with a DRN India Research Study that helps engineering-construction companies translate their core competencies into specific disaster response and mitigation activities. DRN India is a part of National Disaster Mitigation Authority’s Corporate Sector Task Force, assisting the latter to draw up terms of reference for disaster management and private sector participation. In 2006-07, DRN India provided resource support in a three-day workshop on Disaster Preparedness and Management for the NGO sector in India. It also organized a two-day Executive Training program of volunteers covering aspects of search and rescue, medical emergencies and preparedness.
Educational Initiatives
The challenge of closing the productivity gap vis-�-vis global competition is more acute in infrastructure sector. Support to technical education is a logical extension of the pioneering vision of building strong infrastructure across the length and breadth of the country.
