About NMDC

NMDC owes its genesis to the vision of independent India's founding

fathers who believed that true and meaningful independence was possible

only with economic self-sufficiency. Thus came into existence a few

PSEs which provided seminal seeds for the foundation of a great nation.

NMDC was established on 15th November 1958 as a Public Sector

Undertaking to explore, develop and exploit mineral resources other than

fuel oil and atomic minerals. It is engaged in mining of Iron ore, Magnesite

and Diamonds. NMDC is India's single largest iron ore producer, presently

producing over 30 million tonnes of iron ore from 3 fully mechanized

mines in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka State.

In acknowledgement of its substantial contribution to the domestic

mineral sector during the last five decades it has been accorded the status

of a Schedule-A public sector company. In recognition of the company's

consistent performance, the Company was also categorized as a Navratna

Public Sector Enterprise in 2008.

The company is diversifying into steel making and has undertaken several

capital intensive projects to modernize and increase capacities to retain

its domestic leadership and has also forayed overseas successfully.

A band of over 5500 dedicated employees make NMDC what it is - a

world class mining organization. These are professionals who delve into

the bowels of the earth to bring her riches before the world. NMDC is

proud of its work culture and the positive attitude of its employees who

have earned several laurels for the company and continue to work

ceaselessly to take it ever forward.

Mining... and Melting Hearts

Due to NMDC’s avowed stand that the first beneficiary of its success

ought to be the community in whose midst it undertakes its mining

activity, Corporate Social Responsibility has been a way of life at NMDC,

ingrained in its very DNA, and one which it has been consistently carrying

out diligently in letter and spirit since its inception. This approach ensures

that NMDC becomes a good support in their lives - from helping them

in their income generation efforts, to providing basic amenities and going

beyond to providing them quality education and helping them to realize

their aspirations.

NMDC’s CSR seeks to contribute in healthcare, sanitation, drinking water,

infrastructure development and employable skill development, education.

These initiatives are taken up in consultation with a wide spectrum of

stakeholders, including local people and the local administration. The

beneficiaries are mostly the tribal communities in the proximity of

NMDC’s mines, which are in remote areas.

To cite just one instance, today tribal girls from Bastar have qualified as

professional nurses having received training at Apollo Institute of Nursing

at Hyderabad. Our experience has shown that people are aspiring to

bring about a transformation in their lives; all they need is a helping

hand. NMDC is viewed by them as an entity that adds value to the

community it operates in.

NMDC’s approach has been successful because it takes all stakeholders

on board and in consultation with them chalks out its CSR programmes.

The active involvement of the village community and panchayat and the

government bodies at various levels ensures that the CSR fund is well

utilized. Not surprisingly, the Department of Public Enterprises holds

up NMDC’s model of stakeholder consultation as worthy of emulation

by other PSEs. NMDC complements the state administration’s efforts

towards development, making it a winning proposition for the local

population.

But, more than anything what matters most to us is the smile on

the face of a healthy villager in a school and the glint of determination

in the eyes.

Literacy & Education

Recognizing that education is an integral component for human

development, NMDC has been contributing in different ways to

improve not only the literacy levels, but also the quality of education

in the areas of its operations.

In this endeavor, the focus is constantly on improving educational

infrastructure and providing necessary facilities for students with a view

to provide conducive environment to continue studies and enhance

overall learning.

Shiksha Sahayog Yojana

Shiksha Sahayog Yojana is a one of its kind initiative in the Country,

which NMDC has been implementing since 2008-09, wherein upto

18,000 SC/ST students who are natives of the Bastar Division (which

is presently divided into seven Districts) in Chhattisgarh State and

residents of 8 peripheral villages around Donimalai Project in Bellary

District, Karnataka State and whose family income is less than

Rs.6,000/- per month are provided educational scholarships per annum.

This initiative was introduced in the backdrop of a high dropout rate

among Students hailing from the local tribal communities, despite the

efforts of the Government's Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan. This was primarily

due to the inadequate educational facilities for Students near their

immediate neighbourhood, which discouraged Students from continuing

their education beyond 8th class and parents also had no incentive to

send a helping hand, who was supplementing their efforts in agriculture

or other avocations.

NMDC has adopted the process of direct crediting of Scholarships into

the Bank/Post Office accounts of the beneficiary Students. It would not

be out of place to mention that this was a pioneering practice introduced

by NMDC's CSR Programme way back in 2009-10.

The scheme has been enriched with innovative activities like debate

competitions, sports events, study tours, science exhibitions etc. to give

opportunity for overall personality development of the students.

Study conducted by NMDC shows that the scheme has encouraged

students to continue their studies. The scheme has also helped

in improving attendance in schools and ensured better results.

Balika Shiksha Yojana

Balika Shiksha Yojana is a

novel CSR initiative having

a triple purpose of assisting

girls from socio-

economically disadvantage

sections of society to pursue

professional education,

contribute to empowerment

of women and also help in addressing the situation of acute shortage

of Medical & Paramedical Staff in Bastar Division. This program was

initiated by NMDC in the year 2011-12. Initially, 25 girl students from

socio-economically disadvantaged background were sponsored by NMDC

for B. Sc (Nursing) and GNM Courses at Apollo Institute of Nursing

at Hyderabad, the education arm of Apollo Hospitals. The success of

the program led to the enhancement of the number of students sponsored

from 25 to 40. As on date 32 students are being sponsored for the

3 year GNM course and 08 students are being sponsored for the four

year long B.Sc Nursing program. Till date 298 students have been

sponsored under the scheme.

This scheme has been framed directly in response to the needs of the

Communities surrounding NMDC Projects. The need was assessed based

on interaction with the local District Administrations who had voiced

their concerns about lack of adequate trained Nursing Professionals in

the local Hospitals/Public Health Centres, where only 33% of the

requisite Nursing Staff was available to render medical services to the

local communities. Added to this was the concern about the inability

of local Tribal girls to pursue the professional courses in Nursing, etc.

due to socio-economic constraints.

All the students of the first two batches who have passed out have been

gainfully employed.

Mid Day Meal Programme

Mid day meal is a unique programme of the Govt. of India which aims

at addressing the dual problem of malnutrition as well as the issue of

absenteeism and drop out among school children.

NMDC has been supporting the mid day meal programme in surrounding

areas of the Donimalai Project in Karnataka in partnership with Akshaya

Patra Foundation since 2008-09 by providing monetary support to the

mid day meal scheme to provide nutritious and wholesome meal during

the school hours which includes items like chapatti, eggs etc. in the

menu and has also contributed two dedicated vehicles for meal

distribution.

As many as 8,000 school

children in 38 schools of

Sandur taluk in Bellary

dist. in a radious of 25 km

from NMDC operations

are getting benefitted from

the scheme.

Education Improvement Program (EIP)

It was observed that in the rural areas of Bastar region, the dropout rate

in primary schools was as high as 50%. At the same time the learning

levels of a 5th std student was equal to grade specific learning expected

of 1st std student. In order to address this, NMDC initiated a project

called "Education Improvement Programme". The objective was to

reduce the dropout rate and improve the education standard. It also

aimed at bringing back the drop out students back to schools by

involving the local community.

In order to achieve these objectives, the program operated academic

centers to ensure quality learning. Similarly, creative learning centres

were operated for out of school children. The program covered 84 Govt.

primary schools in Dantewada Block, Dantewada Dist.

4367 children benefitted out of which 2027 were girl students.

Improvement in Grade specific learning was also recorded apart from

reduction in dropout.

Residential School at Nagarnar, Bastar, Chhattisgarh

Remote village locations, tough

geographic terrain and various socio

economic reasons often prove to be

a hindrance for acquiring education.

As a result, many children from

remote and backward villages of

Bastar Division do not get chance to

study.

In order to address this issue and provide local tribal children in Bastar

region with a conducive learning environment, NMDC established a

residential school at Nagarnar in year 2010-11.

Teams of NMDC employees, both male and female visit remote hamlets

in the left wing extremism affected villages of Bastar Division and

counsel the parents of children of school going age, convincing them

to send their children to school. Consequently, most of the students

who were admitted in the school were 1st generation school goers from

their families from the deep jungle hamlets.

NMDC has engaged the services of DAV Institution for operation of

the school. At present the school strength is 568 students up to

class XII. The initiative has created a positive impact in the area and

admission to the school has become very much sought after amongst

the local community.

Technical Education

Bastar region in Chhattisgarh has traditionally lagged in having

professional institutes which provide job oriented technical skills to the

local youth. This is one of the main reasons that many local youth find

it hard to gain meaningful employment in the job market.

At the same time, it is difficult for the organizations working in the

region to get technically trained personnel at the local level. In order

to fill this void, NMDC has been working to establish technical

institutes in the region which aim at imparting job oriented technical

education to the local youth. The objective is to create trained workforce

at the local level which is equipped with sound knowledge as well as

practical exposure on specific trades which are commonly in demand.

Polytechnic College at Dantewada, South Bastar

Continuing with its efforts to provide technical education to the local

youth, NMDC has established a Polytechnic College at Dantewada in

year 2010-11 within the premises of Education Hub.

Plans are afoot to initiate new

trades in the institute, which

currently has an intake of 126

students per year in

Mechanical and Electrical

Streams.

The college has been granted

exemption from central

counselling to encourage

professional technical education among students from Dantewada

District/ Bastar Division.

The only 'Polytechnic College' in Chhattisgarh which is totally

operated by a PSU without any financial contribution from the

State Govt. of Chhattisgarh.

ITI at Bhansi, South Bastar Dantewada District

An ITI was established in Bhansi in the year 1999-2000. The courses

offered in the institute are Welder & Fitter, Diesel Mechanic, Electrician

& Motor Vehicle Mechanic. The total annual intake is 76 students.

Tribal students requiring monetary support are also provided a monthly

Scholarship. The institute has been able to bring trade level Technical

Education at the door-step of Dantewada District thereby helping

interested students from the district to pursue formal technical

education.

ITI Bhansi has been ranked as Ist amongst all the ITIs in the State of

Chhattisgarh.

ITI at Nagarnar, Bastar District, Chhattisgarh

Another ITI has been established at Nagarnar by NMDC in 2010-11 to

further extend the facility of gaining technical education especially for

the local tribal youth in the Nagarnar region. The institute has

commenced operations initially with courses on welder and mason trades

with an annual intake of 28 students. The institute also aims to impart

employable skills to all the eligible wards of land losers of NISP Project

for eventual absorption in NMDC apart from other local youth.

These are the only two ITI's being run in Chhattisgarh which

is totally established and operated by a PSU without any financial

contribution from the State Govt.

Education City

Factors like geographic terrain coupled

with prevailing law and order situation

have seriously hampered the chances of

local children to get quality professional

and technical education over the years.

In wake of this reali ty, Govt. of

Chhattisgarh came up with a solution for

establishing an Education City at Geedam, Dantewada Dist with

institutions ranging from Primary school to professional institutions like

polytechnics in a single campus. The objective was to provide conducive

environment to the local children for overall intellectual and physical

development by providing them with quality educational facilities.

NMDC has partnered actively with the State Govt. in this unique

initiative and is supporting it in several ways.

Some of the initiatives supported

by NMDC in Education City are as

A large section of population does not have access to reliable health

services in large parts of India. Realizing the fact that our projects are

located in remote and backward areas, NMDC has taken encouraging

steps in providing reliable health services to such areas. The healthcare

initiatives undertaken are a unique mix of preventive as well as curative

healthcare and include community awareness and mobilization

activities on issues related to personal hygiene, safe sanitation and

cleanliness practices.

Medical Treatment at Project Hospitals

One of the earliest CSR initiatives of NMDC. NMDC started extending

free medical facilities to the local populace from the day, they were

made available to its employees.

NMDC runs three

hospitals at i ts

mines, out of

which two are in

collaboration with

M/s Apollo and

one with M/s

Yashoda Hospitals

offering free

medical treatment

not only to staff

but to the local communities as well. On an average about

1,00,000 out-patients and 10,000 in-patients per annum are

provided free treatment at these hospitals, which includes nutritious diet

for in-patients. These Project Hospitals have proved to be of immense

benefit for the local communities who earlier had no hospitals nearby.

The low levels of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) & Maternal Mortality

Rate (MMR) of Dantewada District when compared to most other

districts in Chhattisgarh, are a testimony to the fact that the local

populace is immensely benefitting by the health care services provided

by NMDC.

Hospital on Wheels

To provide health services to the people residing in remote villages

where travelling to the nearest health centre is a daunting task for the

people, NMDC came up with a solution of taking health care to such

villages and providing health services at the doorstep of every household.

Under this scheme, State of Art mobile medical vans equipped with

medical equipment and with qualified Doctors (Male and Female) &

Para medical staffs have been deployed. These vans and manpower visit

the villages on a regular basis and provide primary Medicare to the tribal

villagers at their doorsteps. These mobile vans also create health

awareness and facilitate immunization of expectant mothers and children

at the Project Hospital.

Serious cases are referred to

the Project Hospital for

which dedicated Ambulance

service is available.

NMDC is providing reliable

health services to 37 villages

around Project locations

in Chhattisgarh and

Karnataka through Hospital

on wheels programme

thereby benefitting about

40,000 tribal villagers.
