In line with company’s vision to energize lives, CSR initiatives are undertaken for development of the poorer sections of the society. One such initiative taken up by BPCL was the support for construction of farmers’ dormitory blocks, staff quarters and dining block at Ekalavya Centre for Organic Agriculture Research and Training (ECOART) in partnership with Ekalavya Foundation at Vikarabad District, Telangana. The inauguration of the same was done by Shri K. Padmakar, Chairman & Managing Director on February 10, 2021 (Wednesday) in the presence of Mr P. S Ravi, Executive Director (Retail), Mr Kurian Parambi, Executive Director (HR), Mr Saibal Mukherjee, State Head (Retail) Telangana along with other dignitaries from BPCL & Ekalavya Foundation.
Ekalavya Foundation is working in the areas of rural and urban upliftment of socially and financially marginalized communities through its various programs in the field of organic farming & community empowerment/development. The institute also conducts research on various organic farming practices in collaboration with reputed research institutes thus moulding youngsters in organic farming and support them to become change agents for social and financial upliftment of rural communities in the long run.
The facilities provided by BPCL would ensure safe and comfortable accommodation/dining facilities to the farmers on the campus hailing from nearby villages and would also help them gain training in organic farming methods and practices; which would ultimately help them achieve self-sufficiency in farming and allied agri-farming activities for better livelihood management.
We are positive that we will be able to bring greater change in the community, empowering the rural population to grow in a better and more progressive environment, by taking up such initiatives.
BPCL has supported construction of Primary School Building in Bharat Bharat Skiksha Samiti Campus. The existing school building was 50 years old and, was in dilapidated condition. With the increase in the enrolment of students over the years, the school was facing space crunch to accommodate the students hailing from nearby 38 tribal and remote villages. BPCL has supported construction of the ground floor of the primary school building comprising of 14 rooms with full electrification works etc.
On 18th January 2020, the school building was inaugurated by Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Minister, Petroleum and Natural Gas in the presence of Shri Jayesh Shah, Executive Director (HRS), BPCL and other dignitaries from BPCL and Bharat Bharti Shiksha Samiti.
Bharat Bharti Shiksha Samiti, is an institution registered under Societies Registration Act by the Government of Madhya Pradesh in the year 1959 with an aim to provide quality education to underprivileged ones in the society. Since then, the school is relentlessly working to provide quality education and residential facilities to children from lower socio economic background, schedule caste and schedule tribes. Situated on a vast campus of 50 acres in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, apart from basic quality education the school provides exposure to students to various kinds of activities like Sports, cultural events, water resource management, bio-agro management etc. for their holistic development.
BPCL is proud to facilitate quality education to children from the lower socio economic background through construction of the infrastructure. BPCL’s efforts in this regard were much appreciated by the dignitaries and the event was widely covered in local media.
In alignment with the vision of the Company, its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives strive to Energise Lives of the communities nationwide. BPCL has contributed towards the goal of achieving Sustainable Development and made significant progress in the focus areas of Education, Water Conservation, Skill Development, Health & Hygiene and Community Development.
Our commitment to education has not waned for over a decade. More than 8 lakh beneficiaries have been reached out through our education interventions so far. Carrying forward the tradition, a new hostel block for women at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore is supported by BPCL under its CSR interventions. The hostel block was inaugurated on February 4, 2020 by Shri. Jayesh Shah, Executive Director (HRS), BPCL and Prof. Anurag Kumar, Director, IISc in the gracious presence of dignitaries from BPCL as well as senior faculty members, staff and students of IISc.
IISc is India’s premier institution for higher education and research. The Institute is keen on encouraging more women students to pursue careers in science and engineering, in order to address the gender inequality in science and technology. It has produced several outstanding women scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs of India. Currently about 25% of students at IISc are women and the proportion has been increasing continuously in recent times. To support this increasing number, the Institute needed to establish a new women’s hostel with modern amenities. Several women students also come from disadvantaged sections of the community and from backward regions and far-flung areas, and therefore require sufficient, secure and comfortable accommodation on campus.
Contribution towards the nation building has always been the constant endeavour of BPCL and we strive to take it to greater heights every day!
