Mission

To Produce planned quantity of coal efficiently and economically in an eco-friendly manner with due regard to Safety, Conservation & Quality

www.westerncoal.gov.in 02

At Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) we believe that as

an organisation we have immense potential to channel

our prowess and chalk out a path such that our actions

contribute positively to society. Our constant endeavour

is to synergise these actions with our vision for

sustainable development.

It is my pleasure to present to you our Sustainability

Report 2013-14. This is our third consecutive Annual

Report on Sustainability and year on year; we are trying

to increase our levels of disclosure and attempting to

initiate systems and processes to enable ease of data

collection. In this Report, we have incorporated our

achievements and our future goals of Environment,

Society and Governance.

Our Company’s vision is ingrained with the

fundamentals of Sustainable Growth which lays

emphasis on productivity and efficiency in coal

production in sync with developing the social and

environmental parameters. Some of our performance

highlights for the year are listed below:

We at WCL are well versed with our obligations towards

the environment. Whilst coal mining continues to pose

environmental challenges, we persist on our journey of

environmental management. Some of our key initiatives

for the year have been focused towards increasing

energy efficiency where we fared reasonably well by the

increase in energy consumption capped at 2.82%

despite pumping out water from mines due to excessive

rains. Afforestation is always a priority for us and for the

reporting year 2013-14 we planted 1.635 lakh saplings

in & around our mines. We are frequently monitoring our

afforestation efforts in 10 mines via Satellite Imagery.

Furthermore, we took our first step towards

non-conventional energy resources by sanctioning work

on Solar Panel installations in two of our administrative

Areas.

Water Conservation is another key focus area for us and

to reduce our water footprint we are implementing

conservation initiatives aimed towards our goal of zero

discharge of effluent, in association with NEERI, Nagpur.

Additionally we have set up Rain Water Harvesting

structures in Majri and Wani administrative Areas.

Mitigation of the Air Pollution is being done via the use of

Water Sprinklers and by cultivation of vegetation around

the mines. Our total expenditure in Environmental

Management portfolio in FY 2013-14 amounts to Rs.

18.40 crores.

People are the engine of growth for any industry and our

company recognizes the significance of our employees

and workforce. We undertake a lot of initiatives starting

from recruitment to introduction of new schemes for

learning and development & to increase employee

satisfaction. In this context our attrition rate of 0.16% is

a testimony to our efforts bearing fruit. Our future plans

include enhancing transparency in employee

Performance Management and benefit schemes by

adoption of web-based approaches.

Despite all our safety measures, we witnessed the loss

of 8 precious human lives. We have therefore focused on

systemic and technological improvements with specific

emphasis on safety training and emergency

preparedness. Safety Management Plans are now in

place for 70 of our mines.

For us, the local community is clearly the most significant

stakeholder whom we impact through our operations

and who in turn can play the crucial role in our growth.

We therefore engage with the community to understand

their requirements, so we can align our CSR activities in

accordance to their requirements. In this reporting year,

we appointed Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) to

prepare a comprehensive Baseline Survey. On the basis

of Baseline Survey, we undertook stakeholder

consultations and with the inputs from those we

developed our CSR Action Plan. We spent a total of

Rs.23.80 crores during 2013-14 towards our CSR

commitments which encompasses construction of

roads, drains, bridge, weirs, community halls and

classrooms. Additionally, we undertook the installation

of hand pumps, solar street lamps, and setting up of a

blood bank, and medical camps in local villages. Our

endeavour towards Women Empowerment was fulfilled

by providing support to a centre which works towards

Skill Development and self-employment of women.

Way Forward

Sustainable Development is the only way ahead. We

have taken small steps towards this journey. We have a

lot more to achieve but with the help of our people,

community and all of you stakeholders, we are confident

of achieving growth across the triple bottom line –

people, planet and profit. We would urge you to please

review this report and give us your valuable feedback for

the same.


With Best Wishes,

Rajiv R Mishra,

Chairman-cum-Managing Director

functions under the guidance of the Central Vigilance

Commission. At WCL, thrust is given to preventive

vigilance rather than punitive vigilance.

Whistle-Blower Policy: Being a fully-owned

subsidiary of Coal India Limited, we have a

full-fledged Whistle-Blower Policy for our employees

which is also dealt with by the Vigilance Department.

Drop boxes have been placed in suitable locations

allowing employees to voice their concerns on fraud,

unethical behavior and any practice which is against

the business values of the company. The Vigilance

Department reviews and acts upon the complaints

while keeping the complainants’ identify confidential.

VigEYE: We at WCL, have an Online and Mobile

Phone vigilance system called the “VigEYE” which

can be used by any member of the public by simply

registering on the mobile phone or internet. A user

account is created by means of which complaints can

be submitted via the web or mobile phone. Citizens

can track the status of their complaint at any given

time by logging into the interface. Information about

the complaint system is also available on our website.

The web system is a three-user interface system

between the Vigilance Department, the top

management and the complainant, thereby allowing

for complete transparency in bringing about the

resolution of the complaint.

e-Tendering and e-Procurement: We have adopted

a system to give complete access to information

regarding tenders to the public and interested parties,

thereby increasing transparency throughout the

system. We also trained a total of 106 employees ,

both executives and non-executives, on e-Tendering

and e-Procurement in December 2013. These

processes are as per the norms of Coal India Limited

and the Central Vigilance Commission.

Code of Conduct: We abide by the code of conduct

of Coal India Limited for internal procedures and

prevention of insider trading. Additionally, rotation of

employees at sensitive posts is put into effect

frequently in our company. We at WCL have a

separate code of conduct for the members of the

Board and top management which emphasizes the

importance of their moral imperatives and

professional responsibilities, among other things. In

effect, a mechanism of preventive vigilance is

established at the outset leaving little room for the

unfolding of unethical practices within WCL.

Surprise Inspections: Our Vigilance department

conducts several surprise inspections. As a result of

which, an awareness campaign was conducted by

distributing circulars to the workforce on the vigilance

and transparency aspects of the quality of coal,

loading of coal into trucks and owning of valid

licenses for transporting petroleum.

Punitive Vigilance: A punitive Vigilance system exists

in WCL for employees involved in fraud, corruption

and other unethical practices, wherein penalties are

meted out depending on the severity of the unethical

practices indulged by employees. In FY 2013-14, 180

of 200 cases were cleared wherein 12 employees

have received major penalty, 2 employees a minor

penalty and 19 were given stern warning.

Filing of Annual Property Returns: A recent

development in encouraging transparency, especially

in the higher levels of our company was through the

introduction of a web-based tool for filing of Annual

Property Returns in line with the Coal India Limited

directives.

Awareness on Anti-corruption: We aim to sensitize

every employee through workshops and programs

like the ‘Vigilance Awareness Week’ in order to

embed the culture of transparency and

anti-corruption across the organisation.

HEMM Loading Coal



Production Performance

The FY 2013-14 has been a satisfactory year in terms of

production performance wherein we produced 39.729

MT of coal. We experienced impediments in obtaining

forest clearances, land possessions and lease renewals

which was the main cause for challenges in production

as compared to earlier years. Additionally certain factors

which were not under our control like excess rainfall,

accumulation of silt, geological and geo-mining

disturbances such as water seepage, bad roofs and soft

floors, contributed to challenges in production. Coal

off-take during the FY 2013-14 was 39.945 MT while the

OC and UG coal production was 31.999 MT and 7.73

MT, respectively. We achieved a rise in company

productivity upto 2.96 tonnes and overall system

capacity utilization of 92.47% in FY 2013-14.

In the reporting period, various measures for ensuring

proper quality of coal dispatched were intensified. The

dispatches are mainly affected due to reasons beyond

the control of WCL.

Financial Performance

We are glad to disclose that our financial performance

has been reasonably good in FY 2013-14. We have

recorded a profit before tax of ₹ 326 crores. Another

feather in our cap is that we successfully repaid the

entire pending loan amount of World Bank in FY

2013-14. Considering the up and downs in production

and land possessions faced by us this year, we are

pleased to share the profit figures with our stakeholders.

WorkforceSustainable business practices begin by engaging and empowering employees who will help us navigate towards our goals. At WCL, the employee culture finds its roots in safe and systematic operations.





Employment

Recruitment

Our workforce is spread over the States of Madhya

Pradesh and Maharashtra. Given below are the

function-wise and state-wise demographics of our

employees.

In the FY 2013-14, we conducted a special recruitment

drive during which 27 employees were recruited for the

post of Mining Sirdar. Additionally, jobs were also

sanctioned to 171 land oustees and 581 employee

dependants (under provision of NCWA) in various

functions of our company. We experienced an attrition

rate of a meager 0.16%, which is a testament of the

employee satisfaction we aim for at WCL.

Employee Benefits and Welfare Amenities

To enable us to become the preferred employer in this

sector, we have put in place a number of schemes and

benefits aimed at employee well being. Our schemes

include Gratuity, Provident Fund and Pension, Ex-gratia,

Leave Encashment, Leave Travel Allowance, Life Cover

Policy, Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme,

Settlement Allowance, Retired Executive Medical

employees.

At WCL, we also provide Personal and Family welfare

schemes to our employees with a range of benefits

including reimbursement of medical expenses, grants to

At WCL we assign special importance to training of our

employees who hail from the Schedules Castes,

Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. Around

10,907 employees under this category were trained

in-house and outside our company. Another feather in

our cap is the system of seeking suggestions from our

employees in order to encourage participation

throughout the hierarchy. All valuable suggestions are

put into action at WCL. Every year, we also reward

employees for their significant contribution in

productivity, safety, innovation, culture and sports. We

also nominate the best amongst these employees for

National awards – PM Shram Award and Vishwakarma

Rashtriya Puraskar. During FY 2013-14, four employees

were nominated for these awards.

Diversity and Equal Opportunity

Being a Public Sector Enterprise we do not discriminate

in terms of gender, class or category. Across the

organisation, equal remuneration is fixed for both male

and female employees.

Employee Representation

At WCL, we are constantly making an effort to creating

dialogue with the employee representatives of the Trade

Unions (All India Trade Union Congress, Indian National

Trade Union Congress, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh,

Hindu Mazdoor Sabha, Centre of Indian Trade Unions,

and Coal Mines Officers’ Association of India) that we

are associated with . Our Steering Committee whose

members include the Chairman and Director, the

Functional Directors, and the representatives of the

Trade Union met regularly to deliberate on a range of

topics including budgets, resources utilisation, costs,

safety and welfare of employees and environmental

protection. A total of 312 meetings were conducted

with employees’ representatives of Central Trade Unions

at operating areas and headquarters to address their

concerns on the aforementioned issues.

Performance Management

All employees participate in regular performance reviews

to ensure that Company’s expectations are met, thereby

assuring employee satisfaction, which in turn fuels

continuous development in our processes. In 2013-14,

we at WCL introduced a new Performance Management

System for performance appraisal of employees. Aptly

named PRIDE, the Performance Report for Individual

Development of Executives is a transparent and

objective scoring system for appraisal of our executives.

The score achieved by an executive is factored into by

the Human Resources Department in determining his or

her training requirements and

Performance-Related-Pay, in keeping with the norms of

Coal India Limited.

Grievance Redressal

At WCL, we have in place a robust grievance redressal

system to address stakeholder concerns in all our

establishments. Our grievance redressal cell believes in

prompt response and action to grievances expressed by

our stakeholders. Grievances can be communicated to

us via the grievance box or the centralized online system

of Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring

System (CPGRAMS) whose link is available on our

website. Grievances are checked on working days at ten

in the morning, and discussed by the members of the

Grievance Cell. Every effort is made to address and

suitably conclude the grievance in the shortest possible

time. During, FY 2013-14, a total of 795 grievances were

received from our employees, of which 68% of them

were settled satisfactorily.

Our future Goals include implementing a central database for PF and Pension and a modified payroll package interfaced with other applications for increased transparency



108 employees from our workforce participated in a

special survey named “India’s Best Companies for work

-2014”, which was conducted by CIL through an outside

agency “Great Place to Work Institute, India”. In addition

an Employee Satisfaction Survey was conducted for the

executives of WCL and the response to it indicates 80%

satisfied executives.

Occupational Health and Safety

Coal mining is typically a labour intensive industry; we at

WCL accord high importance to the health and safety of

our employees. We strive to create awareness on safety

across the organisation through the Safety Committees

at both unit and area levels. The Safety Committees,

including the Internal Safety Organisation (ISO) and the

Steering Committee, Task force drive, ensure

participatory safety management by conducting training

workshops, special safety drives, inspections, audits

and regular monitoring of the mines. The safety

measures recommended by inspectors and auditors

were put into force and improved upon continually. We

have put into place extensive Safety Management Plans

(SMPs) for 70 of our mines and the work is in progress

for the remaining operations.

While we are saddened by the loss of 8 of our members,

we are intensifying our focus on high risk areas to

prevent future accidents.

Scientific studies on best practices in safety

management and infrastructural improvement to

augment smooth process in our mines were

commissioned. We have incorporated infrastructural

and operational changes to enhance safety such as:

Green roof support

Roof bolting

Man-riding systems to reduce grueling travel

In-house gas calibration of gas detectors

Environmental telemonitoring systems to measure

underground atmosphere

GPS tracking systems for vehicles

CCTV Surveillance

Our safety expenditure in FY 2013-14 overshot the

budget allotted by ₹ 1.6445 Crores.

Safety Training

Across the organisation, employees from our Vocational

Training Centres receive Initial, Refresher and Special

safety training. The Mines Vocational Training Rules form

the framework for training in WCL. Furthermore,

supervisors are trained in institutions recommended by

the Safety Conference.

Man-riding System for Underground Mines at WCL

Environment At WCL, we realize our responsibility towards minimizing the impacts from mining and improving the environmental conditions in the mining areas as well as in areas adjoining the mining sites. At the same time we keep in mind our aim to meet the increasing coal demand for electricity generation. To minimize the impacts of mining on the environment and surrounding areas, we integrate our activities of mine planning, design and operation with the environmental impact assessment and management plan. We assess the major impacts of the mining activity on key environmental resources and strategize our activities and plans in order to reduce the impacts.



Our Approach

We at WCL, strategize our activities in such a way as to

align our objective of proper environmental management

and to sustain our business in the long run. Through our

developmental projects we try to mitigate the harmful

impacts of mining and close the gap between pre and

post mining conditions in and around the surrounding

mining areas so as to gain social and environmental

acceptability of our stakeholders which is a challenging

aspect for any coal mining industry.

We follow all the essential regulatory norms for execution

of our activities. We obtain Environmental Clearances

from Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOEF),

Government of India, before opening any new project or

while undertaking expansion of existing projects. During

FY 2013-14, a total of 5 Environmental Clearances have

been obtained for WCL mines/ projects namely

Chincholi OCP, Bhakra UG mines, Ukni Deep OCP,

Chhinda OC Expansion and Juna–Kunada OC

Expansion. Compliance Report on implementation of

MOEF stipulations as per the Environmental Clearance

of the respective mine in the form of a six – monthly

report has been submitted to MOEF, IA Division, New

Delhi and Regional Office, Western region, Bhopal. The

statutory Environmental Statements for all the operating

mines for FY 2013-14 have been prepared and

submitted to respective State Pollution Control Board.

In order to keep track of impacts of our activities on the

environment, we conduct regular monitoring of

stipulated environmental parameters. We have entrusted

Central Mines Planning & Design Institute Limited

(CMPDIL), an ISO 14001 certified agency with the task

of monitoring environment quality parameters such as

ambient air, water, effluent and noise quality every

fortnight in all our working mines/projects. We submit

the quarterly environmental monitoring reports to

respective State Pollution Control Boards as well as to

the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOEF). The

monitoring results are also uploaded on our website.

Energy Management

At WCL, we understand that there is always a scope of

optimizing the energy consumption through several

voluntary measures. Through optimizing our energy

consumption, we not only control our rising energy

expenses but also reduce our carbon footprint. During

FY 2013-14, our total energy consumption including

direct and indirect energy consumption was 632 Mkwh.

The direct energy represents the total electricity used for

production of coal while the indirect energy represents

the electricity used for non-production purposes like

colonies, offices, etc.

Energy Saving Initiatives

We continuously aim at upgrading our systems and innovating processes to reduce electrical energy consumption in our operations. Few of our energy saving initiatives include:

Addition of capacitors to improve & maintain the power factor above 0.95Use of energy efficient tubes/ CFL in place of high watt luminaries / conventional fittingUse of timers in street light circuitsContinuous monitoring & disconnection of unauthorized connectionsStoppage of purchasing high energy consuming light & fittings

We also took a step in capturing non-conventional sources of energy. During FY 2013-14, schemes for installation of 2 nos. of solar panels were prepared and sanctioned.

Through use of CFL lamps, capacitors and

energy efficient lights and fittings.

Move towards renewable energy sources

such as solar in the near future.

Dust supression by Fixed Sprinkler

Air Quality Management

Air pollution caused in various coal mining operations has environmental as well as health implications. The main cause

of air pollution in our coal mining areas is dust. Sources of dust emission in our operations are fugitive emissions from

Coal Handling Plants (CHPs), Coal Stock-Yards/Weigh Bridges and emissions from movement of HEMMs on Haul

Roads & Coal Transportation Roads . We attempt to suppress the dust emission at the source by water sprinkling

methods and taking proper measures to prevent dust propagation during transportation. Simultaneously, we have also

adopted development of green belts in and around our mining areas as a mitigation method for dust propagation.

Afforestation

Planting of 1.635 lakhs saplings around an area of 65.22 ha.

Development of green belts in the vicinity of mining sites.

Plantation is one of our major activities that we undertook for FY 2013-14. We planted 1.635 lakhs of saplings covering

an area of 65.22 ha in all are mining areas spread across the states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh through state

forest corporations namely Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra (FDCM) and Madhya Pradesh Rajya Van

Vikas Nigam (MPRVVN). Additionally, to mitigate dust propagation, we planted 10,000 saplings in mine lease area of

Umrer and Majri and 2500 bamboo plants along the road sides at Ballarpur area, Majri area and Wani North area under

the MoU works. These plantation activities were conducted on recommendation of National Environment Engineering

Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur.

We monitor the ambient air quality every fortnight, as per Environment (Protection) Amendment Rule, September, 2000.

Suspended particulate matter (SPM), Respirable Particulate Matter (PM-10), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of

nitrogen (NOX) and Total particulate matter (TPM) are the parameters which are determined by sampling air with

Respirable Dust Sampler at jointly selected locations.

Noise Quality Management

High noise levels in and around the mining areas is also

a major concern and cause for occupational hazard for

the workers in our coal mines. Use of Heavy Earth

Moving Machineries (HEMMs) for mining, blasting and

drilling operations are the major sources of noise

pollution. We have taken several voluntary steps to

maintain the noise levels within limits. We primarily

achieve this through attenuation measures at source,

such as, proper designing and reduction in the the

vibration amplitude during mining activities. Additionally,

we also provide workers with protective equipments,

i.e., ear plugs/ ear muffs. We also keep a close watch on

the quality of ambient noise in and around the mines by

monitoring noise levels every fortnight. The green belt

developed in the vicinity of our mines also combat the

high noise levels arising from the mining activities.

Water Management

Mining operations do not generate any chemical

pollutants; however soil or coal particles are the major

pollutants in mine discharge water. We constantly adopt

innovative water management practices so as to

minimize our water footprint. We follow the path of

reduced usage, maximizing reuse and efficient

utilization. The major sources of water include river water

and pumped out mine water. During FY 2013-14,

1072512 KL of fresh water were withdrawn for use in

mining areas, office areas and residential colonies. After

usage, water is recovered and recycled with adequate

treatment.

Mine water refers to water stored in mine voids created

after the excavation of coal. These mine voids in open

cast mines as well as in underground mines serve as

excellent water harvesting structures. In opencast

mines, the water gets accumulated temporarily in these

mine voids after strata seepage to the bottom/ floor of

the seam. As a result of this seepage, the suspended

particles are settled. After this primary settling process,

the water is pumped out and coursed to a settling tank

for secondary settlement of impurities. Similarly, for

underground mines, the water gets accumulated in the

dip side with sufficient area and the primary settlement

process in initiated. The supernatant water is then

withdrawn and coursed to a secondary settlement tank.

After completion of this two stage settling process, the

water is then pumped for industrial and domestic

purposes. The treated mine water is reused in sprinklers

for dust suppression; for quenching fire in coal

stockyards; watering of plants; etc. It is also supplied as

drinking/potable water to WCL colonies and adjacent

local population. The excess water is discharged into

local nallahs or streams which is used by the villagers for

irrigation purpose. We regularly conduct checks on the

quality of water. We have implemented a well-planned

water/ effluent monitoring schedule every fortnight.

Workshop Effluent Treatment Plant in a Colliery

Effluent Discharge

The effluents discharged from the workshops, mine discharge water and domestic effluents are adequately treated at Workshop Effluent Treatment Plants (WETPs) and Domestic Effluent Treatment Plants (DETPs). We have put in place a system by which we hope to achieve zero discharge. We monitor the effluent quality every fortnight and ensure that all the parameters are within set statutory limits. During FY 2013-14, we also commissioned one project each for recycling industrial wastewater at Durgapur/ Padmapur OC of Chandrapur area and Telwasa/ Dhorwasa OC of Majri area under the MoU works.

Water Conservation Initiatives

We also attempted to explore the avenues for water conservation. Our approach was based on two broad target areas: reuse of effluent discharged by enhancing the treatment quality and storage of rainwater as an additional source. We initiated two new ventures on advanced wastewater treatment in association with NEERI, Nagpur: A pilot study for utilization of wastewater from mines for domestic consumption and A study on introduction of “BIOSWALE” along with truck washing system were proposed. We also commissioned two rainwater harvesting schemes at Majri area and Wani area under the MoU works for the FY 2013-14.

Biodiversity Management

We are protective about our natural resources and hence, we strictly restrict our activities at appropriate distance from the border of such significant areas. None of our operational areas are in the vicinity of areas of high biodiversity value.

Mining activity has huge impact on land. Due to mining activity, top soil gets disturbed. The top soil is a vital resource for agricultural livelihood of most people in the nearby communities. WCL is committed to restoring the degraded land through physical reclamation and afforestation. We have devised several strategies and implemented them to reclaim the lost top soil and protect the landmass.

Land Reclamation Strategies:

Mine Closure Provisions

We abide by the guidelines of Ministry of Coal for preparation of Mine Closure Plan. Till date we have Mine Closure Plans for 80 mines. We have deposited ₹ 680.53 crores in Escrow Account till 31.03.2014 for managing closure activities of our mines.

Environmental Expenditure

Our total environmental expenditure for FY 2013-14 included a revenue expenditure of ₹ 14.55 crores and capital expenditure of ₹ 1.79 crores. Additionally, ₹ 2.06 crores were spent only on tree plantation. Also, an expenditure of ₹ 15.91 lakhs was incurred towards implementation of MoU works for sustainable development.


Product ResponsibilityOur focus is to deliver quality product considering the requirement of our customers. Hence, we continuously upgrade are systems for maintaining and enhancing the quality of coal that we produce. We acknowledge the fact that the customer should be satisfied in all respect and the product should meet all safety standards along with being environmentally compatible. We have tried to modify our practices in accordance with the feedback and complaints received from our customers to improve the quality and standard of our product.


Coal Quality

We ensure that we supply coal of uniform size and a

required gross calorific value (GCV). During FY 2013-14,

we supplied coal with GCV of 4812 Kcal/Kg to

MAHAGENCO, which was more than the mutually

agreed to GCV, in view of their boiler. In order to

maintain the calorific value of the coal, we conduct

routine coal sample analysis using Bomb calorimeters.

We also crush the coal to a uniform grade before supply

to our customers. During, FY 2013-14, we supplied coal

of uniform size to the Power sector and the grade

materialization stood at 90.94% as compared to

90.56% achieved during the last fiscal.

We also take appropriate measures for proper weighing

of coal and ensure that we supply the required quantity

of coal to our customers. During FY 2013-14, the total

dispatched quantity of 39.95 MT was weighed on

electronic weighbridges. We also installed ten electronic

road weighbridges, one each at Mauri UG, Hirdagarh

siding, Palachourai siding, Jharna UG, Gaurideep OC,

Kamptee OC, Juna Kunada OC, Navin Kunada OC,

New Majri UG-3, and New Majri OC.

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction and trust is of paramount

importance to our company. As a policy, we take all

complaints and suggestions of our valued customers

seriously and spare no effort in resolving them to the

satisfaction of our customers. At WCL we have a robust

mechanism of two-way consultations and surveys with

customers. During FY 2013-14, we received 102

complaints regarding the quality of coal. Matters such as

lumpy coal, wet coal and extraneous material in the coal

pointed out by customer were recorded, investigated

and addressed on basis of priority.

To maintain customer trust on our product, we also

conduct customer satisfaction surveys on a regular

basis. During FY 2013-14, 75 customers were covered

in our customer survey which was conducted by

company employees . The main focus of the survey was

on the product, customers and services with focus to

capture customer’s perception. The overall feedback

received from them was excellent in terms of the

product, the services and customer benefits. This also

encouraged us to maintain the standard of our product

in terms of quality and customer satisfaction.

A governing body named Regional Coal Consumer

Council (RCCC) has also been formed which interacts

with our customers to understand and solve their

grievances related to the coal quality and supply. During

the FY 2013-14, two meetings of the RCCC was held at

WCL, Nagpur. The focal areas of discussions in these

meetings were:

Supply of quality coal

Extension of validity of road delivery orders

Enhancement in supply of coal to Mahagenco

Refund of coal value for unlifted quantity

Quick action for installation of CCTV in weigh bridges

Conveying of loading programme to consumers over

mobile



Community Outreach At WCL, our responsibility and commitment towards the society and its betterment is aligned with our business outlook. We try to deliver the best possible support to local communities around all our operational sites. We regularly engage with our stakeholders to identify the issues which are important to them and then try and integrate them into our governance and management framework. We strive to provide basic living needs by generating opportunities and improving the lives of neighbouring communities. Through our operations we try to generate as much employment as possible by engaging local people, thereby setting the foundation for a stable economy in the region.

CSR Policy

In keeping with our CSR Policy we have dedicated our focus on undertaking projects for alleviating the livelihood of local communities. Our actions and projects in this regard are aligned with the DPE requirements on Sustainable Development.

Welfare measures for the community at large, so as to ensure poorer section of the society derived the maximum benefit.

Proper rehabilitation of the land oustees/displaced persons based on R & R policy separately formulated and the expenditure on R & R issues would be a part of the Project Cost.

Contribution to the society at large by way of social & cultural development, imparting education, training & social awareness especially with regard to the backward class and generation of income to avoid any liability of employment.

Protection and safeguard of environment and maintaining ecological balance.

The objective of our CSR policy is to drive Corporate Social Responsibility for sustainable development of the local communities. We aim at supporting the communities and supplementing the role of the Government by providing amenities which will improve their standard of living both in the short and long term. Our CSR program principally caters to the Project Affected Families, land oustees, communities living in the 25 km radius of the WCL units and establishments, and the economically weaker sections of society in the States of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. We also

have Special Corporate Plan (SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) which are exclusive to the welfare and development of the SC and ST populations.

CSR Strategy

We act in collaboration with the local community, government representatives and NGOs to identify the most important needs of local communities. We engage with local people by frequently communicating with them and obtaining feedback. We aim to understand the local and pressing issues which need immediate attention and which as a result are of interest to our company as well. In this regard, we commissioned Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) to prepare a comprehensive baseline survey. Equipped with the baseline survey, we organized consultations with the District Authorities, local bodies, Village Panchayat’s, Sarpanch’s, Gram sevaks, and the people’s representatives. With the responses and suggestions from the consultations as the foundation, we developed our CSR Action Plan.

Our CSR Action Plan is reviewed and monitored by a two tier team consisting of a Board level committee and a below board level committee constituted in the company. The committee is responsible for deciding which CSR activities are to be included in the Action Plan. In FY 2013-14, three meetings of the Board level committee and seven meetings of below Board level committee were held to review the execution of the action plan. Funds for CSR are allocated on the basis of 5% of retained earnings of previous year, subject to

minimum of ₹ 5/- per tonne of coal production in that year.




CSR Focus Areas

We focus on important areas like Infrastructure development, Education, Water Supply, Social Empowerment, Environment and Healthcare. Apart from these other activities are also taken based on their relevance and importance for the local community.With this vision to bring meaningful change in the lives of the local communities and the society at large, our company undertook extensive CSR initiatives during the year 2013-14:

construction of roads of 54.29 Km

construction of drains of length 6.49 Km

construction of 54 nos. of Rangmanch

construction of 14 nos. of school class rooms

Mobile Medical Vans with 66,794 beneficiaries in nearby villages

Water Supply

Drinking water availability is a major cause for concern for people inhabiting the areas surrounding the coalfields. Through our CSR activities we strive to provide the local community with adequate clean drinking water as well as water for their daily needs. In this regard, we installed 40 hand pumps in addition to

granting financial assistance to the local body-Sangli Zila

Parishad for the construction of check dams and weirs

in villages affected by drought.

Education

We firmly believe that education is of utmost importance

for uplifting and empowering the society. Education has

a meaningful role to play in making one self-reliant. For

this we aim at providing assistance in development of

infrastructure for schools and classrooms. A total of 14

classrooms were constructed and additionally financial

assistance of ₹ 29.43 lakhs for construction of

classrooms was provided to Jeevodaya Education

Society which works for the education of mentally

challenged children.

Infrastructure

For better connectivity and accessibility to schools,

workplaces and medical centres, proper infrastructure is

crucial. Our aim is to develop infrastructure including

roads, rails, schools, medical centres, and infrastructure

for recreational activities such as sports, cultural

activities etc, all of which play an important role in

enhancing the standard of living of local communities. In

FY 2013-14, we undertook construction of a bridge

across the River Kolar, in Waghoda Village, construction

of concrete roads, drains, community halls, and a

Rangmanch for recreational activities. Furthermore, we

enabled 367 BPL families residing in the Buffer zone of

Tadoba Forest Reserve to obtain LPG connections.

HealthcareAt WCL, we are concerned about the health of the local people. We provide healthcare services by setting up dispensaries and hospitals. We make an effort to create awareness on routine health care among the masses by conducting regular health camps. We funded the Hindratna Prakashbapu Patil Blood bank in Sangli for procuring medical equipment which will enable them to supply blood, free of cost to economically weaker sections of society, and to those suffering from Thalassemia and hemophilia. A total of 30312 and 66794 people benefitted from the 238 village medical camps and 866 mobile medical camps, respectively.

Women EmpowermentAligning ourselves with the focus areas of CSR, we aim at empowering women of the local community. In regard to this, we constructed the Mahila Vikas Prashikshan Kendra to encourage self-employment of women by providing them with skill development trainings. Established through MoU with Mahila Arthik Vikas Mahamandal (A Govt. of Maharashtra undertaking), 15% of the project cost (i.e. ₹ 14.73 lakhs) was contributed to them during the year 2013-14.

MiscellaneousAt the district level too, we undertook CSR activities during FY 2013-14 to fulfil the needs of the local people. These activities were mainly undertaken in Gondia, Bhandara and Chhindwara districts.



CSR Investment

The CSR investment for FY 2013-14 was ₹ 23.80 crores

as against CSR investment of ₹ 20.96 crores during FY

2012-13. Following are the head wise investment details

of WCL

Rehabilitation and Resettlement

We rehabilitated 66 Project Affected Families (PAFs) in

FY 2013-14 as per the Rehabilitation and Resettlement

Policy of Coal India Limited. We also provided monetary

compensation and employment to the land oustees. The

process of rehabilitation and resettlement is usually

delayed due to delay in land acquisition. However, we

have already taken up this matter with higher authorities

and have insisted on early processing and clearance of

the land acquisition proposals. The trends in

resettlement and rehabilitation by our company shed

light on the increased employment opportunities

provided to the land oustees. Here is also a slight

increase in the resettlement and rehabilitation of PAFs in

the past 3 years.
