INDIAN RAYON AND INDUSTRIES LIMITED - Aditya Birla Nuvo, Ltd

To boost agricultural and horticultural activities, we reach out to thousands of farmers in manifold ways. Farmer training programmes,
teaching them better farming techniques on demonstration plots and agricultural meetings where agricultural experts give them valuable inputs are
proving most useful to them.
Training in nurturing bees is imparted to many farmers. Bee-keeping is a good source of generating income.
To enable villagers have a sustainable livelihood, hundreds of them have been trained in cottage industries as well.
Village development Schemes
We aim to embed the villages with at least the basic amenities, such as providing support towards better infrastructure through construction
of roads, check-dams, drains and the repair of buildings which house the Panchayats.
As Renukoot is an area prone to severe water scarcity during summer, our team supplies fresh drinking water to the nearby communities.
Towards this end, water booths are specially set up during this period.
Garnering developmental aid
For the year 1999-2000, we mobilised over Rs.410 lakhs through different development programmes. This is apart from our own contribution.
We influenced the lives of fifty thousand people in a direct manner, by ensuring their well-being physically, and for many others a sustainable means
of livelihood.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Our involvement in these community driven initiatives has made a perceptible difference to the lives of the marginalised villagers. Many of
them are no longer below the poverty line and are in good-health. And that gives us a humble sense of fulfillment, and pride in the fact that we are
helping in shaping new societies.
