delhi - National HRD Network

1. CSR initiative with USAID
Northern Region: An Update
Delhi Chapter had initiated a dialogue
with USAID to partner with them in light
of “ beyond business” synergies. As
part of this, we received an invitation
to join a CSR Study Tour to the USA
from USAID, supported by the US
Government, starting 16th Feb till the
25th. This program is called IVLP
(International Visitor Leadership
Program). There will be about 10-12
participants (blue chip Indian
organizations and their respective CSR
heads) form India. Pankaj Bansal has
been requested, and has accepted to
join the tour to represent NHRDN
Northern Region. Tour expenses shall
be picked up by People Strong and
local arrangements are being made by
US Government. This is indeed a
prestigious association with a reputed
organization like USAID, and we would
also benefit from the insights and
learnings that Pankaj would be able to
bring back on CSR practices. It is
believed that there would also be future
opportunities of leveraging our
association with USAID and jointly
working on some noble goals.
2. DELHI scales new heights
Under the dedication, commitment and
inspiring leadership of Saqlain Siddiqui
and his able team, Delhi Chapter has
logged in some remarkable milestones.
Delhi Chapter is the first chapter to have
breached the 2000 membership barrier,
which is clearly a remarkable
achievement. You would also note that
Delhi has contributed the highest sum
of Rs 71 lacs ( as of 31st Dec 2008) .
This is a reflection of the ability to
continue building on the strong base,
and managing to take the special events
to a new level. Kudos to the Delhi team.
