EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The research conducted at NTPC Limited Badarpur, Delhi was descriptive as well as exploratory
in nature. A research study and survey was conducted to attain the objective of the research. The
topic of the project was “CSR ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY NTPC AND BY NTPC
BADARPUR DELHI”. The research was conducted keeping in mind the following objectives:
Understanding of and attitude of CSR
Actions taken in pursuit of a more socially responsible approach especially relating
to,
Human Resources,
Environment
Community, at local and national level
Structural arrangements for CSR
To carry out the survey questionnaire method was used to obtain the required information.
Random/judgmental/convenient sampling were used as the mode of conducting the research.
40 employees were surveyed in the survey including employees from HR, Finance and Technical
department.
All the information generated from the survey, interaction and research study was compiled in
the form of a highly presentable and comprehensible report.
After doing the research study it was found that NTPC Limited as a whole and NTPC Badarpur
is highly engaged in various level of CSR activities. NTPC is highly concerned about its
surroundings and is continuously working to develop its surroundings and to minimize the
impact of its activities on the environment .NTPC, through its various divisions is contributing a
major part of India’s power generation and with the help of these divisisons it is continuously
trying to uplift the weaker section of the society and to preserve the environment.
The survey conducted at NTPC Badarpur in order to access the awareness of the employees
about the CSR activities undertaken by their unit shows that most of the employees were
unaware of the policies undertaken by NTPC Badarpur except the people working in CSR
division .
"More and more companies are accepting corporate citizenship as a new strategic and
managerial purpose requiring their attention. Once seen as a purely charitable activity a
source of general goodwill, with no bottom-line consequence citizenship is moving from the
margins of concern to the center at leading companies."
Today, there are many references to corporate social responsibility (CSR), sometimes
referred to as corporate citizenship, in our workplaces, in the media, in the government, in
our communities. While there is no agreed-upon definition, the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development defines CSR as the business commitment and contribution to the
quality of life of employees, their families and the local community and society overall to
support sustainable economic development. Simply put, the business case for CSR--
establishing a positive company reputation and brand in the public eye through good work
that yields a competitive edge while at the same time contributing to others--demands that
organizations shift from solely focusing on making a profit to including financial,
environmental and social responsibility in their core business strategies. Despite what the
phrase corporate social responsibility suggests, the concept is not restricted to corporations
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
but rather is intended for most types of organizations, such as associations, labor unions,
organizations that serve the community for scientific, educational, artistic, public health or
charitable purposes, and governmental agencies.
All organisations have an impact on the society and the environment through their
operations, products or services, and through their interactions with key stakeholder
groups including employees, customers/clients, suppliers, investors and the local
community. This is demonstrated in the diagram given below:
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
Under these and most other definitions CSR is essentially about what organisations do,
how they do it and the impact of their behaviour on the wider society. It focuses on a
variety of issues ranging from actions in the workplace and marketplace to questions such
as community investment, environment impact, business ethics and human rights.
opportunity rather than risk. Socially responsible business is not about restricting business
growth; it’s about creating new opportunities, the better way of doing business.
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
The main aim of the research was to examine how far the notion of Corporate Social
Responsibility has permeated the NTPC organisation in both attitudinal and behavioural
sense.
The essence of the research study was to explore the underlying attitudes, beliefs and
assumptions of NTPC with regard to social, ethical and environmental issues and to
investigate what actions have been taken by the enterprise in pursuit of a more socially
responsible approach.
The research was designed to focus specifically on a number of key areas. These include:
Understanding of and attitude of CSR
Actions taken in pursuit of a more socially responsible approach especially relating
to,
Human Resources,
Environment
Community, at local and national level
Structural arrangements for CSR

The Ministry of Power is the apex body responsible for the development of electrical
energy in India. This ministry started functioning independently from 2 July 1992; earlier,
it was known as the Ministry of Energy. The Union Minister of Power at present
is Sushilkumar Shinde of the Congress Party who took charge of the ministry on the 28th
of May, 2009.
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
The Ministry of Power (MoP) is coordinated by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) in all
technical and economic aspects. Along with the CEA, other subsidiary organizations of the
Mop are:
The power industry in India derives its funds and financing from the government, some
private players that have entered the market recently, World Bank, public issues and other
global funds. The Power Ministry India has set up Power Finance Corporation of India
that looks after the financing of the power sector in India. The Power Finance Corporation
Limited provides finance to major power projects in India for power generation and
conversion, distribution and supply of power in India.
Power Finance Corporation (PFC) Ltd India also looks after the installation of any new
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
power projects as well as renovation of an existing power project India. The PFC in
association with central electricity authority and the ministry of power facilitates the
development in infrastructure of the power sector India. They have taken up construction
of mega power projects that will answer to the power shortage in various states through
power transmission through regional and national power grids.
India is world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of global energy
consumption. Due to India's economic rise, the demand for energy has grown at an average
of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years. In March 2009, the installed power generation
capacity of India stood at 147,000 MW while the per capita power consumption stood at
612 kWH. The country's annual power production increased from about 190 billion kWH
in 1986 to more than 680 billion kWH in 2006.The Indian government has set an ambitious
target to add approximately 78,000 MW of installed generation capacity by 2012. The total
demand for electricity in India is expected to cross 950,000 MW by 2030.
About 75% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power plants, 21%
by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear power plants. More than 50% of India's
commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. The country
has also invested heavily in recent years on renewable sources of energy such as wind
energy. As of 2008, India's installed wind power generation capacity stood at 9,655
MW. Additionally, India has committed massive amount of funds for the construction of
various nuclear reactors which would generate at least 30,000 MW. In July 2009, India
unveiled a $19 billion plan to produce 20,000 MW of solar power by 2020.
Electricity losses in India during transmission and distribution are extremely high and
vary between 30 to 45%. In 2004-05, electricity demand outstripped supply by 7-11% Due
to shortage of electricity, power cuts are common throughout India and this has adversely

Current installed base of Renewable energy is 13,242.41 MW which is 7.7% of total
installed base with the southern state of Tamil Nadu contributing nearly a third of it
(4379.64 MW) largely through wind power.
Many government as well as private organizations have taken up the task of power
generation in India. The major Indian power companies playing prime are:
ABOUT NTPC
Originally, NTPC had the responsibility for electricity generation from thermal source and
transmission of the same. However, as per the Electricity Laws Amendment Act 1998,
when "Transmission" became separate activity, the transmission portion of the
Corporation was culled together to form part of the “Power Grid Corporation of India
Ltd”. Today, NTPC has diversified interests, ranging from Hydro power generation,
distribution, power trading etc. It has also formed joint venture companies with Railways,
SAIL, Formerly BSES, TNEB etc respectively for pursuing different business interest.
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
NTPC's share on 31 Mar 2004 in the total installed capacity of the country was 19.4%
(21,749 MW) and it contributed 27.1% (151 Bus) of the total power generation of the
country during 2003-04. As on date the installed capacity of NTPC is through its 13 coal
based (17,480 MW), 7 gas based (3,955 MW) and 3 Joint Venture Projects (314 MW).
NTPC acquired 50% equity of the SAIL Power Supply Corporation Ltd. (SPSCL). This JV
company operates the captive power plants of Durgapur (120 MW), Rourkela (120 MW)
and Bhilai (74 MW). NTPC is also managing Badarpur thermal power station (705 MW) of
Government of India.
NTPC’s share on 31 Mar 2006 in the total installed capacity of the country was 19.51% and
it contributed 27.68% of the total power generation of the country during 2005-06. NTPC
has set new benchmarks for the power industry both in the area of power plant
construction and operations. It is providing power at the cheapest average tariff in the
country. With its experience and expertise in the power sector, NTPC is extending
consultancy services to various organizations in the power business.
Mission
“Develop and provide reliable power, related products and services at competitive
prices, integrating multiple energy sources with innovative and eco-friendly technologies
and contribute to society.”
Core Values –
BCOMIT
Business Ethics
Customer Focus
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
Developing and operating world-class power stations is NTPC's core competence. Its
scale of operation, financial strength and large experience serve to provide an
advantage over competitors. To meet the objective of making available reliable and
quality power at competitive prices, NTPC would continue to speedily implement
projects and introduce state-of-art technologies.
NTPC has achieved the distinction of being the largest thermal generating company in
India. In the past, this focus was adequate as the industry was highly regulated with
limited diversification opportunities. Over last few years, the country has been facing
acute shortages, both in coal and gas, severely affecting optimum utilisation of its
power stations and these shortages are likely to continue in future as well. This is in
spite of the fact that India is one of the largest producers of coal in the World. To
safeguard its competitive advantage in power generation business, NTPC has moved
ahead in diversifying its portfolio to emerge as an integrated power major, with
presence across entire energy value chain. In fact, to symbolise this change, NTPC has
taken on a new identity and a new name 'NTPC Limited'. NTPC has recently
diversified into coal mining business primarily to secure its fuel requirements and
support its aggressive capacity addition program. In addition, NTPC is also giving
thrust on diversification in the areas of power trading and distribution. Diversification
would also allow NTPC to offer new growth opportunities to its employees while
leveraging their skills to capitalise on new opportunities in the sector.
NTPC would have altered its profile significantly. Elements of the revised profile that
NTPC would seek to achieve are:
Amongst top five market capitalisation in the Indian market
An Indian MNC with presence in many countries
Diversified utility with multiple businesses
Setting benchmarks in project construction and plant availability & efficiency
Preferred employer
Have a strong research and technology base
Loyal customer base in both bulk and retail supply
A leading corporate citizen with a keen focus on executing its social –responsibility
A "Centre for Power Efficiency and Environment Protection (CENPEEP)" has been
established in NTPC with the assistance of United States Agency for International
Development. (USAID). Cenpeep is efficiency oriented, eco-friendly and eco-nurturing

Ash Utilization
Ash utilization is one of the key concerns at NTPC. The Ash Utilization Division, set up in
1991, strives to derive maximum usage from the vast quantities of ash produced at its coal-
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
based stations. The division proactively formulates policy, plans and program for ash
utilization. It further monitors the progress in these areas and works at developing new
fields of ash utilization. The quality of ash produced conforms to the requirements of 3812.
The fly ash generated at NTPC stations is ideal for use in cement, concrete, concrete
products, cellular concrete, lightweight aggregates, bricks/blocks/tiles etc. This is attributed
to its very low loss on ignition value. To facilitate availability of dry ash to end-users all
new units of NTPC are
provided with the facility of dry ash collection system. Partial dry ash collection systems
have also been set up at the existing stations where these facilities did not exist earlier.
Augmentation of these systems to 100% capacity is presently in progress. The various
channels of ash utilization currently include use by a number of Cement,Asbestos-Cement
products & Concrete manufacturing Industries, Land Development,Roads &
Embankments, Ash Dyke Raising, and Building Products. Area wise break-up of
utilization for the year 2004-05 is as under:
NTPC has adopted user friendly policy guidelines on ash utilization. These include actions
identified for:
Ash Collection & Storage System.
Facilities & Incentives to users.
Direct Department Activities.
Administrative & Financial aspects.
In order to motivate entrepreneurs to come forward with ash utilization schemes, NTPC
offers several facilities and incentives. These include free issue of all types of ash viz. Dry
Fly Ash / Pond Ash / Bottom Ash & infrastructure facilities, wherever feasible. Necessary
help and assistance is also offered to facilitate procurement of land, supply of electricity etc.
from Govt. Authorities.
A forestation
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
The a forestation activities of the industrial region not only serve as foreground and
background landscape features but also contribute to the overall improvement in the
environment. The crucial need for conservation and restoration of the degraded ecosystem
and preservation of genetic resources of the country led to the enactment of the "Wild Life
Protection Act" (1974) and "Forest Act" (1980) in addition to legal Acts of Air, Water and
Environment.
Maintenance of ecological balance and pristine environment therefore, has been of utmost
importance at NTPC. Environment planning and preservation is an integral part of its
project activities. NTPC undertakes a forestation program covering vast tracts of land in
and around its projects in a concerted bid to counter growing ecological threat.

It has been possible to achieve a satisfactory combination of environmental quality and
techno-economics through determined efforts at NTPC for its projects. Continuous
vigilance is maintained to minimize pollution apart from other management program
taking root simultaneously with construction activities.
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
The appropriate a forestation program for plant, township, green-belt and other sites are
designed according to the geographical features. The species are selected on the basis of
their adaptability and grouped with local representatives. The growth characteristics,
flowering pattern and canopy (spreading nature) are evaluated in their distribution over
these sites of a forestation. These considerations not only contribute to the aesthetics but
also go a long way in serving as "Sinks" for the pollutant emissions of the power plant..
At times, they combat pollution from other industries in the surrounding area.
Saving the existing trees, planting right at the beginning of construction phase,
preservation of trees and advice from State Forest Departments and Agriculture
Universities are a few general guidelines followed by NTPC in the a forestation program
at their projects. The site specific a forestation details conform to the natural climatic
conditions and adaptability of species. The species are grouped into a heterogeneous
combination to impart a natural and healthy assemblage.
The arrangement of species in the green belt / buffer zone conforms to hexagonal pattern
to facilitate maximum density of species. In addition, the growth pattern and canopy are
evaluated in their actual locations of the hexagonal pattern which help uniform canopy
spreading. The tree planting, garden and park development in and around the township
adds to the general aesthetics. Plant species of medicinal value are cultivated separately
in isolated patch and information made available to residents for use appropriately.
The nursery ensures good quality planting stock so vital in the success of planting
program. In order to reduce the transport cost and damage to the planting stock, nurseries
have been developed at the projects to meet the planting requirement.
NTPC has developed independent Horticulture Department at its projects headed by
experienced horticulture officers / supervisors.
Forest Bank
An innovative proposal to create "Forest Banks" in each state was wherein the Forest
Department of all States / Union Territories should identify land to initiate plantations
under various program of the state. Such areas would facilitate any power project of
either the State or Centre to draw necessary "Compensatory A forestation Area" against
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
the existing balance in the Forest Bank. This will ensure that projects need not wait for
clearance for want of identification of areas and State Government's concurrence for
compensatory a forestation.
Environmental Management
Harmony between man and environment is the essence of healthy life and growth.
Therefore, maintenance of ecological balance and a pristine environment has been of
utmost importance to NTPC. Environment protection continues to be a key area of
activity in NTPC along with growth in generation of power.
Driven by its commitment for sustainable growth of power, NTPC has evolved a well
defined environment management policy for minimizing environmental impact arising
out of setting up of power plants and preserving the natural ecology.
In November 1995, NTPC became the first public utility to bring out a comprehensive
document entitled "NTPC Environment Policy and Environment Management System".
Amongst the guiding principles, adopted in the document, are the company's proactive
approach to environment, optimum utilization of equipment, adoption of latest
technologies and continual environment improvement. The policy also envisages efficient
utilization of resources, thereby minimizing waste, maximizing ash utilization and
providing green belt all around the plant for maintaining ecological balance. NTPC's
environment-friendly approach to power has already begun
to show results in
conservation of natural resources such as water and fuel
(coal, oil & gas) as well as
control of environmental pollution. NTPC has chalked out a
set of well-defined activities
that are envisaged right from the project conceptualization
stage.
Performance enhancement and up gradation measures are undertaken by the organization
during the post operational stage of the stations. These activities have greatly helped to
minimize the impact on environment and preserve the ecology in and around its power
projects. These measures have been enumerated as follows.
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
Environment Policy
The Environment Policy of the Corporate Environment Management and Ash Utilization
Division as adopted in March, 2003 under the Environment Management System is stated
below.
Continual improvement of environmental performance of all NTPC power
stations in pursuance of our vision of powering India’s growth.
Continually monitor all the stations for pollution prevention and environmental
protection.
Conservation of natural resources including land by utilizing more and more ash
generated by thermal power stations of NTPC.
Assist stations for compliance with relevant environmental legislations and
regulations.
To promote environmental awareness amongst the employees of NTPC.
To create awareness of Ash Utilization and its environmental benefits among the
Engineers, Builders, Architects, Potential Entrepreneurs, NTPC personnel and
public at large.
Resource Conservation
With better awareness and appreciation towards ecology and environment, thermal power
utilities have been continually looking for innovative and cost effective solutions to
conserve natural resources and reduce wastes. Some of the measures include:
Reduction in land requirements for main plant and ash disposal areas in newer
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
units.
Capacity addition in old plants, within existing land.
Reduction in water requirement for main plant and ash disposal areas through
recycle and reuse of water.
Reduction in fuel requirement through more efficient combustion and adoption of
state-of-the-art technologies such as super critical boilers.
through ash disposal system wherein huge quantity of water is used for disposal of ash to
the ash ponds. This has been further necessitated in view of ever increasing scarcity of
water, as also, fast deterioration in water quality of our rivers and other water sources due
to discharges from polluting industries. For conservation of water, Ash Water Recycling
System has been envisaged for the ash ponds in all new projects and in a number of its
operating stations. NTPC has drawn a program for changing ash disposal systems at its
existing power plants from once-through system to recycling system where clear effluent
from ash pond is recycled and only little quantity of blow down is required to be
discharged after treatment. The ash water recycling system has already been installed and
is in operation at a number of Stations such as Ramagundam, Talcher Kaniha, Talcher
Thermal, Kahalgaon, Korba and Vindhyachal. The scheme has helped stations to save
huge quantity of fresh water required as make-up water for disposal of ash.
Global Compact
Globalization has brought significant advantages to countries and business around the
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress
world but the benefits have spread unequally both within and among countries.
While the rules favoring global market expansion have grown more robust, the rules
intended to promote equally valid social objectives viz. in the areas of human rights,
labor standards and environment lag behind and in some cases actually have become
weaker.
In order to promote Corporate Social Responsibility and citizenship in the new global
marketplace, UN Secretary General, Mr. Kofi Annan first proposed the Global Compact
at Davos in Jan'99. It was thus created to help organizations redefine their strategies and
course of actions so that all people can share the benefits of globalization, not just a
fortunate few.
The Global Compact’s operational phase was launched at UN Headquarters in New York
on 26 July 2000. and has since then focused its efforts on achieving practical results and
fostering the engagement of business leaders in the direction.
Through the power of collective action, the Global Compact seeks to promote responsible
corporate citizenship so that business can be part of the solution to the challenges of
globalization. In this way, the private sector – in partnership with other social actors –
can help realize the Secretary-General’s vision: a more sustainable and inclusive global
economy.
Participation by NTPC
Due to keenness of UN that this movement takes root in India, some business leaders
took the initiative and organized a meeting of select business leaders in Mumbai in Dec'
2000. NTPC as a prominent business and community leader in the power sector was also
invited to the meeting and thus engage/associate itself with Global Compact.
Following this meeting which was attended by CMD NTPC, NTPC agreed to be
associated with the Global Compact. In his letter in May 2001 CMD addressed to Mr.
Kofi Annan, Secretary General, UN formally expressed its support for the Global
Compact and its commitment to take action in this regard.
NTPC expresses its continued support for the Global Compact and its commitment
to take action in this regard. The principles of GC are regularly communicated to
all employees through in-house magazines, internal training program and posters.
NTPC along with major corporate in India took the lead and founded Global Compact
Society of India in the year 2003. Further, NTPC as founder member of Global Compact
Society took the lead for organizing the 1st national convention on “Excellence in
Corporate Citizenship and Global Compact” on 27th July 2004 at New Delhi.

The employee of NTPC with support of company volunteered to contribute a total sum of
approximately Rs.15.2 million from their salary, in addition to NTPC contribution of
Rs.880 million to Prime Minister Relief Fund as immediate relief measures. The team of
52 NTPC employee provided medical treatment and relief material to the affected
persons. This team treated 7838 patients and provided food to 18398 villagers and
children till alternate arrangements were made by local authorities.
NTPC team assisted for restoration of power supply in 53 relief camps, rectification of 2
nos. control panel, inspection and suggesting rectification for 33 KV transmission
systems, installing small DG set, and repairing a number of DG sets of various capacities.
Community Development
NTPC has been a committed and socially responsible corporate citizen since its inception
and formulated specific guidelines for the welfare of Project Affected persons (PAPs) and
community development in the neighborhood villages around its power stations as early
as 1980s. It is one of the first in the corporate sector to formulate comprehensive
resettlement and rehabilitation policy for addressing the issue of PAPs.
The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is deeply ingrained in NTPC.s culture.
NTPC’s mission in the area of CSR is to “Be a socially responsible corporate entity
with thrust on environment protection, ash utilization, community development,
and energy conservation”.
NTPC’s approach towards CSR, further articulated in the corporate objectives on
sustainable power development, is as follows::
“To contribute to
Sustainable power development by discharging corporate social
responsibilities.
Lead the sector in the areas of resettlement and rehabilitation and
environment protection including effective ash-utilization, peripheral
development and energy conservation practices.”
NTPC’s fresh impetus on Community Development is reflected through formulation of
Largest Indian Power Company Powering People’s Progress

RECOMMENDATIONS
Since business organisations are of different sizes there is no one-size-fits-all method for
implementing a CSR approach: each firm has unique characteristics and circumstances that
affects how it views its social responsibilities and also its awareness of CSR issues and how
much work it has already done towards implementing a CSR approach.
Likewise NTPC also has its unique characteristics and circumstances that affect its CSR
approach and implementation. Being a thermal power generation company NTPC’s main
concern is to minimising the adverse impacts of its operations on the environment. Besides
undertaking various measures to protect and improve the ecology around it operating stations
and at national level, NTPC also undertakes various other CSR activities such as community
development, resettlement and rehabilitation activities, etc.
Though NTPC is a highly socially responsible organisation performing various CSR activities in
a systematic manner, we would like to suggest the following implementation framework (see
next page). This would help the organisation to integrate economic, social and environmental
decision-making through out the firm. This will help the enterprise to reap optimal benefits for
itself and its shareholders, and in turn for those who are affected by the firm’s activities.
This framework follows the familiar “plan, do, check and improve” in the areas of quality and
environment management.

The research has revealed that social responsibility is regarded as an important issue within the
NTPC organisation. And therefore NTPC has been showing a positive commitment towards
corporate social responsibility and demonstrating a socially responsible behaviour by being
engaged in a variety of socially responsible actions and doing this irrespective of any benefits
that such action might bring to the organisation.
Our analysis and findings about NTPC reveal that the organisation has been engaged in a variety
of socially responsible activities - internal as well as external to the organisation. The internal
activities include NTPC’s commitment towards improving the quality of life of its workforce and
their families. While the external activities include protecting and improving the ecology,
commitment towards improving the quality of life of the local community as well as the society
at large, through activities like community development, resettlement and rehabilitation, etc.
Thus, we conclude that NTPC consider CSR to be an important and imperative activity -
ethically, legally, socially and commercially. An activity that enables the organisation to “give
something back to the community”.
