Our Footprints / Outreach

 

The spirit of Essar Foundation stands for hope, change and growth for the people who work with us and the people we work for. We, at Essar, have a mature outlook on our role in society and we firmly believe that adopting responsible practices and processes can make all the difference in the long run. Our teams working in eight states and 12 districts of India strive relentlessly in evolving relationships with communities, while taking the remoteness of locations, challenging circumstances and adverse local conditions in their stride. Whether it is about delivering health care beyond the rivers in Malkangiri in Odisha or about making the youth employable in the remote hinterlands of Chhattisgarh, our team is diligently breaking ground to make a difference that is felt.

Strategy

Staying true to the vision of the Group, people are at the core of all that we do and strive for. Touching people's lives positively with an ingrained sense of respect to their realities and aspirations is in the core of our approach. Our belief is in evolving organic relationships with all stakeholders and in partnering actively towards development. Such relationships are built upon the synergy through responsible partnerships and collaboration whether it is with the local government, community institutions, or civil society organizations.

The initiatives are strategically designed on the basis of community needs assessment, mapping, participatory planning and considering local feasibility. In all locations, the local Government's effort in development is supplemented with the Foundation's resources and facilitation. The initiatives also provide for rich experiences to Essarites by way of their contribution to employee volunteering. The endeavor is also for the communities to own the initiatives and sustain the impact over time.
