CSR Newsletter from L&T Construction
2011 : October | November | December - Volume 1
Editor’s Note
‘When thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what
thy right hand doeth’ . The
biblical line glorifies the positive trait of oneself not taking
the credit for providing charity to others – and on the contrary encourages one to just
give and forget about it.
But in our context, sharing information on various
Corporate Social Initiatives
carried out across hundreds
of L&T project sites [we are
not a single-campus entity],
clusters, regions and many
units of L&T Construction
as well as the Prayas Trust
has indeed proven to be a
great boon. For, all the com-
munication on E-zine has not
only instantly shared information on diverse activities
across the geography, it has
also kindled the spirit of giving and sharing across. Programmes have been found
to be worthy of ‘replication’,
‘emulation’ and have been
carried out in a very competitive spirit as well! What’s
more, all these Corporate
Social Responsibly activities
are happening well in the
L&T’s immaculate style, and
in no hindrance to projectexecution. After all, when
there is a heart, there is a will
and there is a way too. The
L&T way!
Top Story
At a time when the corporate goal at L&T is to ‘scale
up’ our activities and grow
our beneficiaries, Communication has been a tool that
has added the energy, vigor,
force and speed while collecting minds and people
together to this task of community development and
welfare.
This new quarterly tabloid from January 2012 aptly named ‘Reaching Out’,
will consolidate the CSR
activities carried out across
L&T Construction & Prayas
Trust.
Also in keeping with the
Sustainability Programme,
ABRO presented
uniforms to 410 children
A
BRO
distributed
school uniforms to
over 410 municipal
school children in Ahmedabad, an educational institution run by the Samvedana
trust.
On 20th October, the regional manager Mr. S. H.
Vora distributed the uniforms to the children who in
turn expressed their delight
through a splendid dance
performance. The ladies of
Samvedna trust expressed
their gratitude to the L&T
team and presented a sacred
Tulsi plant to the staff.
this tabloid will have a limited print run and will be
available as a ‘Web Publication’ for a wide spectrum of
people inside and outside of
L&T Construction. Consequently ‘Reaching Out’ will
also help ease the ‘bulge’ off
the ECC News [the in-house
publication].
With this ‘Reaching Out’,
there is going to be no stopping on L&Teering @ L&T
Construction!
Greetings for a Great
2012!

Our Birthday Gift to Mother Earth!
The year 2011 was declared by the UN as International Year of Forest and
a global platform to raise
awareness on sustainable

and development of all types
of forests. As a fore runner to
this Green initiative, L&T has

saplings have been nurtured
and planted in various public places - like schools, colleges, hospitals and local
townships. The green mission has reached adjacent

Cheyyar.
Reinforcing this, Janmotsav

was started:
With February 8 being
KVR’s birthday, he planted

another Green Birthday initiative for all L&T-ites.
Following his footstep,
every one of us will play a
vital role to create a Green
World, a safe place for our
next generation to live. Thr
staff will be urged to plant
a sapling on their Birthday
– with saplings from GreenHands Nursery.
This has been an ongoing programme and many
