Gujarat NRE Coke has been in the forefront of community development. Through various initiatives the company has nicely intertwined itself with the society at large and has today become a part and parcel of the community it operates. The company has become an agent of development in its hinterland through its sensitive response to their needs.
To mention a few:
Primary education in Rural and Tribal areas of West Bengal – Gujarat NRE has adopted 30 primary schools in South Dinajpur district of West Bengal through a unique model of one teacher school. It is a non formal type of literacy method and the mission is to impart education to the young ones at their doorsteps. In the hilly, mountainous or deep jungle villages, the endeavor is to select, train and equip a local youth, man or woman, and motivate him or her to accept the responsibility of taking a class of 35/40 children, within the age group of 5 to 12 years, everyday for three hours. Gujarat NRE has sponsored 30 such primary schools as a part of its commitment to the society in the much needed area of primary education in tribal India. The initiative which is successful through involvement and participation of villagers, not only works to impart formal education to the children but also has been successful in imparting basic information on health and public hygiene.
