Coal India Starts CSR Capacity Building Programme for Coal Sector

Coal India has commenced a two-day capacity-building programme on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework for coal sector companies at its corporate office in Kolkata. The programme is being organised in association with the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) under the aegis of the Ministry of Coal.

The initiative focuses on the effective implementation of CSR programmes in coal-bearing regions. Its deliberations are centred on approaches intended to create positive changes in the lives of local communities, particularly those living in areas connected with coal mining and related operations.

Rajesh, general manager for CSR at Coal India, delivered the keynote address at the programme. The event also features contributions from Garima Dadhich, head of the School of Business Environment at IICA, and Gayatri Subramaniam, a CSR and sustainability expert.

Senior officials from the Ministry of Coal, Coal India’s corporate office, its subsidiary companies and other coal companies are participating in the programme. Their participation brings together representatives from across the coal sector for discussions on CSR implementation and community-focused initiatives.

The capacity-building programme provides a platform for coal sector companies to examine the CSR framework and its application in coal-bearing regions. The association with IICA supports the programme’s focus on corporate responsibility and sustainability, while the involvement of ministry and company officials reflects the sector-wide nature of the initiative.

Coal India’s programme is directed at strengthening understanding of CSR responsibilities among officials and organisations operating in the coal sector. The discussions are expected to support more effective planning and execution of initiatives aimed at local communities, in line with the broader objectives of the Ministry of Coal and participating companies.
