Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & CCL


Business and industry have come into existence to promote social growth and social good. They draw resources from the society and add values to generate wealth. Hence, society and business are interdependent and business must take full account of societal expectations. A stable social environment is a pre-requisite for
business investment and industrial operations. So industry needs to facilitate such environment by taking care of the concerns of the society. This is what Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL) strongly believes in. The Company is a MiniRatna Category I Central PSU in the family of Coal India Ltd. Once written off as a loss making CPSU, the Company has made a spectacular turnaround a couple of years ago and has grown strength to strength by registering record production, productivity, profit and people care (4 Ps).

CCL becoming a MiniRatna Company is 'the dream comes true' of its employees, their family members and the people of Jharkhand - CCL being the largest mining industry in the State. The community in and around the command areas of the company are having sentimental attachment with CCL and it enjoys full support of the society, unique amongst mining industry in India. Sentiment have come to embedded with aspirations and CCL, spreading as it does in seven districts of the State of Jharkhand, symbolizes not only the industrial might of the State (Jewel of Jharkhand) but the hopes and aspiration of the people of the State as well.

In this backdrop, the responsibility of CCL as a Corporate entity addressing socio economic and environmental concerns of the community becomes quite focused. Such focus on community can albeit CCL C.S.R. is within the Company philosophy reflecting in its VMO.

One such forward thinking is to develop resettlement sites much before acquisition and make the PAPs an important stakeholder in the scheme of development that may change the response of these people one of resistance to voluntary co operation.

Poverty alleviation and CCL :

Some reports point out that mining in general is more likely to lead to poverty ex-acerbation than it is to poverty reduction. Dwindling per capita income in the State is put up as evidence. Rich land makes poor people. This conclusion may have truth in general but there is need to go into specific, if we wish to cure the spectre of so called "resource curse" haunting the resource rich land.

World Bank's Conceptualization of poverty

While some Economists use to define poverty solely in terms of per capita GDP, the World Bank now accepts that poverty has many dimensions. The Bank's most in-depth recent statement on poverty, its 2000/2001 World
Development Report entitled "Attacking Poverty", identifies four broad categories that together encompass its conception of poverty. These categories are as follows:

1) Material deprivation;
2) low levels of education and health
3) vulnerability and exposure to risk; and
4) voicelessness and powerlessness.

This conceptualization provides a sound framework from which to assess the mining sector's empirical record on poverty alleviation.

Material Deprivation

In terms of material deprivation, World Bank sees economic growth as necessary but not sufficient for poverty reduction. What matters here is whether coal company has done well in terms of equity of income distribution or creation of job opportunities for the poor-whether jobs created are such that are accessible to poor who are generally unskilled or semi-skilled. In the year 2007, CCL was having 90,000 employees, out of which 46,000 (51 %) are unskilled and semi-skilled. As on 1.1.2008, CCL is having 60,000 employees, out of which 31,000 (51%), are unskilled and semi-skilled, 23,000 are SC/ST (38%),15,000 (25%) are OBC, 5232 (9%) are women employees. This shows that jobs offered by CCL are greatly accessible to the poor and weaker section of the Society. CCL mining command areas have affected 1.8 lakhs people. If we take direct employment (60,000), Contract labour (8000) and informal service provider (more 32,000) with a unit family size of 5 each, a total of 5 lakh people depend on CCL for their livelihood. So there is fair degree of distribution of income among the people.

Health and Education

World Bank highlights the significance of pro-poor, Government spending on such thing as education and health as an important element of poverty reduction. CCL has provided quality education facility in its command areas with a net work of 68 schools like DAV, KV, Gyanoday, other private schools etc. having students strength of more than 40,000, out of which 23,000 are non-CCL employee wards. Education expenses of the Company has consistently been increasing in 2005-06 it was Rs.430 lakhs and in 2006-07, Rs.446 lakhs and in 2007-08, 501 lakhs. Company incurs per capita student expenses of Rs.1220/-. Company has now put emphasis on girl child education, interalia, free schooling for girl children of BPL family in CCL aided schools in command areas, health care, provision of education kits etc. Under CD programme 125 no. of schools have been provided with educational accessories like table, bench, dari, sports items etc. School building/roof have been repaired/constructed, particularly toilets for girl student constructed.

Health

CCL extends comprehensive health care in its command areas with a network of Hospitals : 2 Central Hospitals, 8 Regional, 9 Area Hospitals and 63 Dispensaries with bed strength 892, Doctors - 297 and para medicals -780. Medical expenditure of the Company has increased from Rs.13.6 crores in 2006-07 to Rs.15.6 crores in 2007-08. All trauma cases of general public are treated in CCL Hospital. The company extends free medical treatment to the residents of nearby villages by conducting medical camps. In 2006-07, 205 such camps have been conducted with total beneficiaries of 49,020. In 2007- 08, the number of such camps have gone up to 277 with beneficiaries increasing to 51,747. Beside this, CCL is launching CCL Health Card for the people in command areas extending free treatment. The Company has also launched "Operation Jyoti", a programme to eradicate all cases of reversible blindness in command areas of CCL. The Company also runs "Aids Control Project" and RNTCP (Revised National Tuberculosis Programme).

Giving a Voice : Empowerment

CCL command area have facilitated development of unions, Associations - PAPs, NGOs, Political outfits, SHGs etc. and thus giving a reasonable voice to the people hitherto not known. The above empherical records indicate that there is some dent in poverty alleviation. Hence, general observation of mining not contributing to poverty alleviation may not be true. Moreover, mining provides much needed revenue to the State to invest in poverty alleviation programmes.

Present status of PAPs after resettlement

(i) As per report submitted in May 2005 by World Bank sponsored NGO Xavier Institute of Social Service, Ranchi about 75% to 80% people have constructed bigger, stronger and higher houses as compared to their houses before shifting. All the persons trained as driver for self employment have been engaged by local contractors and transporters and all has regular income.

(ii) PAPs are regularly engaged at Coal dump siter for local sale of coal for loading purpose for minimum 20 days every month. Even the PAPs who were trained for basket making, carpet making, piggery, goatary etc. and had started their own business have now joined loading group at coal dump etc.

(iii) Some of the PAPs are engaged in soft coke making which is very lucrative business.

Strategic CSR

During the last couple of years, the Company has not only brought laurels in the field of production, productivity and profitability, but also taken significant steps in the areas of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CCL has developed its strategic CSR policy with the main objectives to improve the quality of life of the people living in and around the command areas. It is also a matter of applaud that CCL is now a member of UN Global Compact.

CSR policy has given special emphasis on triple bottom line - social, economic and environmental initiatives to make it sustainable.
 

CCL’S POLICY FOR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

PREAMBLE

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is to focus on inclusive growth of the community in the command areas of CCL through a host of CSR measures making mining socially sustainable. With the rapidly changing corporate environment, more functional autonomy, operational freedom etc., CCL has adopted CSR as a strategic tool by integrating Business processes with Social processes.

INTRODUCTION

The areas and mines of CCL are located in seven districts of Jharkhand which are in remote areas and affected by Mao activists. Coal Mining has direct impact on the socio economic and the environmental conditions of the operational areas. Due to the remoteness, the inhabitants of the peripheral areas are poor, needy and belong to the section of the society which is below poverty line. As such, the primary beneficiary of CSR should be land oustees/ PAPs and the poor people staying within the radius of 15 kms. of the command area. The poor and needy people of Jharkhand should be secondary beneficiaries.
The policy on CSR of CCL is framed taking into account the development of poor, the villagers residing in and around the command areas and the work force of the company socially, economically and safeguarding the environment for maintaining the ecological balance.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of CSR policy is to lay down guidelines for the coal companies to make CSR a key business process for sustainable development by focusing on overall development of villagers, workers of the companies and poor people of the society. By subscribing to the principles of Global Compact.

AREAS TO BE COVERED

The responsibility of the company shall be to execute CSR within the radius of 5 km, 10 km and 15 Kms in phased and manner for every project and Areas including Headquarters covering the existing components of Special Corporate Plans (SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for development of SC and ST population. Further Board of Directors of the company can approve specific cases of projects beyond mining areas within the respective State.

FOCUSED AREAS FOR FUTURE ACTIVITIES

For every fiscal years, the CSR should be focused on a specific activity as per the need & requirement. Considering the gradual lowering of water table in Jharkhand, acute water crisis is being faced. Keeping in view the above, CCL has focused on catering adequate drinking water facilities to the needy & accordingly 90% of the total budget of CSR budget for the year 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 would be spent on drinking water. In the subsequent years, the focused work areas would be identified & thrust will be given as per the requirement & need of focused work.

CSR activities in Jharkhand State should be preferably done through the areas located in the State.
The CSR Policy of CCL since includes all the CSR activities and Community Development activities in a broader perspective, this Policy will supersede all earlier policies relating to CSR.
This policy will be reviewed from time to time based on changing needs and aspirations of the target beneficiaries and make suitable modifications, as may be necessary.
