Fiinovation implements CSR Project with People's Forum

Fiinovation, a top global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability consultancy has entered into a partnership with People's Forum, along with a Public Limited Company in the business of manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke, for a social welfare intervention on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) components in Paradip.


People's Forum is a non-profit organisation that works in sectors including women and child development, health and sanitation, livelihood and agriculture.
The CSR programme will intend to benefit 700 households in the district, by sensitising the locals on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices. Evidently, the programme will ensure access to safe drinking water by installing community Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants in the locality. The activities will include installation of storage tanks for collection and storage of the purified water.

Through this initiative, each household will be able to collect 20 litres of safe drinking water each day in jerry cans.The company claimed that people of Paradip face immense problems in fetching safe drinking water due to unavailability and through this project, Fiinovation intends to improve the quality of healthcare with access to clean water, which is vital in maintaining good health. In addition, the project also aims to create community-level awareness sessions on the prevention of waterborne disease and combating malnutrition by conducting frequent awareness drives and health camps.

To identify the key problem within the community, a rigorous need assessment study was also conducted by Fiinovation Team, which resulted in some important observations and essential requirements.

Dr Soumitro Chakraborty, CEO, Fiinovation Company while speaking about the partnership, stated that the project focuses on addressing the most essential problems in the area. "We are proud to partner with People's Forum and take this initiative ahead which largely focuses on improving day-to-day lives of the people from the marginalised sector, who lack basic facilities like clean drinking water, healthy environment, and most important primary healthcare facilities."
The villages witnessed some prime problems like insufficient, irregular and unsafe drinking water which leads to a number of water-borne diseases. Another problem that has been identified is air and water pollution prevalent due to the presence of many industries, resulting in respiratory and skin diseases. Adding to the burden, sadly enough, non-availability of primary healthcare services is a major challenge in the said area.

To ensure an efficient execution of the project, Fiinovation has thoroughly researched and identified People's Forum, which will sensitise and create awareness amongst people.

"Our team at Fiinovation and our partners including People's Forum realise the approach towards addressing social challenges with cost-effectiveness and time-orientation, and are certain that our consistent endeavours like these will bring a long-lasting change," added Chakraborty.

As a part of the project, the other essential activities include tree plantation in and around the colonies, school campus, playground and other suitable places, aimed to reduce the flow of pollutants and dust. To create a sense of ownership and responsibility, the existing Self Help Groups will also be capacitated to carry out the execution along with the NGO.

Nearly a year-long project, it aims to benefit around 3500 beneficiaries and contribute towards a better life by tapping on some key challenges witnessed in the area.

How does Corporate Social Responsibility affect a company's bottom Line?

Corporate Social Responsibility doesn't remain a marketing gimmick for the businesses anymore. Rather it plays an important role in building a strong association or bond between the organisation and its bottom line. If the programs are executed and communicated well to the employees, they can prove to be the key driver in employee and other stakeholder engagements. The data shared above  reflects the impact of employee engagement wherein it is found that 72% of the employed people in America choose a company which also support the social causes apart from providing the similar set of benefits. The research also reveals that employees engaged in social cause programmes are 28% more likely to be proud of their company's values and 36% more likely to feel strong loyalty in comparison to the employees not engaged in the social initiatives. Engagement of employees or businesses in social initiatives helps them build a good rapport among the stakehol

India Facing Agrarian Crisis!

Google “ Jai Jawan Jai Kisan ” was the slogan given by our second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965 at a public gathering to cheer farmers to do their best to increase the production of food grains. The former PM strongly believed that soldiers and farmers are the backbones of Indian society and the nation needs to respect them and take care of their issues. However, this memorable phrase just remained a phrase. Since 1990, the situation of farmers started devastating at a high rate. It was reported that between 1995 and 2014 approx. 2,96,438 farmers committed suicide in India due to their deteriorating condition and the situation is still not under the control. According to a news (published in TOI), Maharashtra topped the list with 4,291 suicides, followed by Karnataka with 1,569, Telangana 1,400, Madhya Pradesh 1,290, Chhattisgarh 954, Andhra Pradesh 916 and Tamil Nadu 606. Together, these seven states accounted for 87.5% of total suicides in the farming sector in th

Corporate social responsibility for agricultural Development and its impact on income generation

Indian Agriculture sector continue to remain shabby for the economic growth of India. Although, the rising demand of food in domestic and global markets can create huge possibilities, small and declining land holding, price volatility, soil degradation and climate risks continue to trouble the farmers.  Less opportunities and constraints to improve the agricultural sector also affects the farmers income, especially the small and marginal farmers. The overall development of agriculture needs to involve various service providers such as private agribusiness companies, NGO’s in dissemination of agricultural technologies with knowledge, skills, expertise and leveraging Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds.  Although, inadequate amount of CSR funds has been spent in the agricultural sector by the companies, there is a huge potential for investment in this sector. Companies can implement CSR project for agricultural development and income generation for farmers.
