 JINDAL STAINLESS LTD (JSL) - CSR INITIATIVE

Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) CSR Initiative has focused its activities on two basic entities, i.e.
the internal environment as also the community. Both these target groups have been
addressed through various supportive programs toward sustainable development. In its
endeavour, the Company for its social agenda has invested in infrastructure development
and education programs, besides other social activities which are resource intensive and for
which adequate funds have always been made available.

The major initiative toward infrastructure development is the construction of a 400 bedded
multi-speciality hospital at Hissar, Haryana, which provides health care to all staff of the
Jindal Group at Hissar as also to the community. Assessing the requirements of the people
and with little or no treatment available for cancer patients, a new ‘Cancer Department’ is
being added to the hospital, which will serve a large segment of the population and lend
towards achieving the National goal of ‘Health for all’. In addition to the hospital, two
schools, housing 830 girls in one school and 3000 children in the other have been
constructed at Hissar, where children for all social strata of society are being provided a
holistic education volition with all modern facilities available like any other public school in
the country. The Vidya Devi Jindal School is a girls residential school, while the other
school, O.P. Jindal Modern School is a co-educational school. Besides health care and
education, the CSR Initiatives include women empowerment through vocational education
and training programs, reproductive child health care programs, medical health camps,
environment conservation programs, promotion of sports and a host of extra curricular
activities at local levels. The bottom line is beneficiary satisfaction and the list is tall and
continues to spiral upwards.

The N.C. Jindal Hospital, Hissar has 13 specialities and serves approximately 1000 patients
daily with an annual budget outlay of approximately 10 crores. The two schools are
affiliated to CBSE and the results encouraging. Toward education the CSR initiative has
addressed the poor and the needy with adult education centres in the villages around Hissar,
and the volunteering program has found favour with many employees, who volunteer their
time and resources with the community.

The women empowerment programs include skill development through various training
programmes, promoting handicraft, beauty culture, dress designing, cookery, computer
literacy programmes and a host of other interventions. Surprisingly the interest shown
toward beauty culture even amongst some of the rather conservative families has been very
substantial and it just brings out the point that beauty in different segments of society has a
common denominator. Environmental conservation is being carried out in different ways,
from tree plantation to town beautification and aesthetic promotion. Issues relating to
industrial pollution are also being addressed in a very structured manner especially in the
State of Orissa. To cater to the enthusiastic needs of the youth, sports tournaments are being
sponsored regularly and teams from a cross section of society are encouraged to participate,
giving life to the concept of ‘Unity in diversity’. It is with these interventions that JSL is
making a difference in people’s lives, and is contributing toward the achievement of the
social charter of corporate citizenship.
