Corporate Social Responsibility has become an integral part of businesses in today’s world, thanks to several factors. However, the fact also remains that the implementation of CSR initiatives requires extensive research and planning, coupled with creative, dedicated, focused and innovative implementation processes. GAIL and HPCL Projects are a fine example of this.

GAIL aims to improve & enhance quality of education for underprivileged kids in rural areas, through innovative measures. As part of the CSR initiative, GAIL in partnership with IL&FS Skills is operating three institute of skills in Guna (Madhya Pradesh), Dediapada (Narmada, Gujarat) and Mamidikuduru (Andhra Pradesh).

HPCL’s CSR activities primarily focuses on identifying gaps in the existing system of the delivery to society and intervening meaningfully with them, to create a long-term, sustainable impact; rather than create parallel systems.

Training is conducted for Instrumentation, MMAW Welding, Industrial Welding, Draughtsman Mechanical, Retail Outlet and Plumbing. ‘
