Answer:
For DCM Shriram, the efforts to leave a meaningful and long-lasting impact come straight from the heart. With a legacy of building communities, the company promotes participation and harmony
The principle of giving back to the society stems from the visionary Sir Shri Ram. DCM, or Delhi Cloth and General Mills, was set up in 1889. More than a century later, after trifurcation of the DCM group, DCM Shriram Ltd was formed in 1990 and it remains committed to the cause of nation building and social responsibility. The company’s focus is on health, drinking water and sanitation, education, vocational skills and livelihood, environment sustainability and rural development.
“Our strategic business units nurture the rural communities through their CSR work in project villages across Kota and Jhalawar in Rajasthan, Bharuch in Gujarat and Hardoi and Lakhimpur in Uttar Pradesh. The company’s manufacturing facilities are also located in these areas and the proximity helps us to regularly monitor these programmes and interact with the beneficiaries, thus maximising impact,” says Ajay S Shriram, Chairman and Senior Managing Director.
Elucidating on the programmes, Vikram S Shriram, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, says, “The primary need is to create behaviour change among the rural communities around key aspects like health, education, gender and sanitation. To ensure sustainability, a sense of ownership among the beneficiaries towards the programme is inculcated, for which we have a strong team.”
“Employee volunteering is encouraged. Regular project assessment helps us identify the gaps and address them with due interventions,” say the two directors.
