Social Initiatives

Institutions are made up of individuals and only socially responsible
and sensitive individuals make responsible corporates.

The Indian ethos has always incorporated
the concept of giving. Companies have an impact on society and the
environment through their operations, products and services. Since
beginning, we have always recognized the responsibility, which corporate
should have towards the wider communities they operate in. The Social
Accountability, SA 8000, initiated by JSPL is a rock solid step towords
maintaining corporate awareness and conscientiousness.
In today's age, philanthropy is giving way to sustainable development
programs. And we have taken many initiatives to touch the lives of millions
of people who are left out of world's economic expansion. Some of them are:
Extending the reach to the backward areas- Paving way to the
underprivileged
Today, our group is the largest private sector investor in the State of
Chhattisgarh and one of the prime focus is on the development of basic
infrastructure. Along with this, we are setting up steel plants in Orissa
and Jharkhand.

We have signed the MOU with the
Government of Chhattisgarh (Raigarh) for investing Rs. 35 crores for
improving social infrastructure in & around Raigarh in next three years.
We have already invested Rs 30 crores by establishing hospital, musical
fountain, school, audotorium etc.With a serious endeavor to make
positive difference to the millions of lives in the underprivileged regions,
we have adopted around 42 villages. Thus, we are contributing to the
development of region through a more holistic effort. In these areas,
community building exercise includes diverse activities, ranging from
providing sewage and sanitation facilities to building and maintaining roads
and parks. A corporate with a social conscience, we are forever working
towards forming a better society.

Education Programs-
nurturing the young minds
We are contributing towards the development of the nation at large and have
identified education as a key priority area. Imparting education to the
youth is amongst the basic and most productive measures, as it aims at
nurturing the talent and reshaping the youth. A 10+2 co-educational, O. P.
Jindal School, with an investment over Rs. 5 Crore, has been operational at
Raigarh for a long time and the oldest girl's school in the region has also
been renovated to offer better education standard.
Medical and healthcare facilities

We endeavor to enhance the quality of
life of a common man through better access to essential services.
Availability of medical facilities by setting up charitable clinics and
hospitals is yet another aspect of our social initiative. To take care of
patients, an ICU unit at the general hospital at Raigarh, has been set up.
Medical camps, regularly organized thrice every week, have benefited more
than 40,000 people in the district and women welfare programs are organized
regularly. We are constantly working towards providing world-class health
facilities to the people of Raigarh at the 100-bedd multi-specialty O. P.

install complete investigation facilities like pathology lab, X-ray lab,

All round development of
children and youths
Our scope of social activities extends beyond healthcare facilities to
encompass the cultural and sports arena. To cite an example, the Kamla Nehru
Park in the city has been developed and is being maintained by us. JSPL has
also developed a unique Musical Fountain in Riagarh. Apart from this, many
cultural and sports events are organized from time to time that act as a
platform for recreation as well as expression of latent talents.

families interest at Raigarh plant is of prime concern to us which is
