Polycab Empowering and Educating Communities as Part of Their Social Responsibility Program

Halol, India, June 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Polycab, the globally recognized brand well known for its electric wires and electric equipment came up with an initiative of community development and welfare for two of the Gujarat villages namely Nava Zakaria and Juna Zakaria as part of their social welfare program. In a period marked by enhanced social concern about the downtrodden and impoverished population in rural areas, such instances of social welfare and benevolence are nevertheless exemplary. Polycab showcased its commitment to the social welfare recently by adopting two Gujarat villages and initialized the community development works such as building schools, primary health care facilities and building toilets for every household. Creating change is essential and they believe educating or providing the knowledge about the “rights” is the best way to empower people & bring change in such communities.

When asked about the long-term effects of such initiatives, Mr. V.K. Rao, executive director of the company told enthusiastically that “They hope to see more such corporate initiatives surfacing in the near future with many such projects funded jointly by the Government and Enterprises together.” He added, “In a certain sense we expect our development program to be a milestone in the path of rural empowerment and social welfare initiated by companies.” His views are reminiscent of the tradition of social welfare and grassroots level development as envisioned by India’s visionary businesses in an earlier era.

The company has already made a niche presence and global reputation as the manufacturer of superior quality electric wires and electric equipment that cater to an array of industries across several niches and geographical territories. Over the years the company has made its name as the customer focused brand with a strong and uncompromised commitment to the value for money, state of the art technology, outstanding quality, and seamless integration. Starting its journey from 2000, it continued to grow as a global brand in electrical equipment manufacturing with an industry-wide presence across niches including Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution, EPC contractors, Steel & Metal, Utilities, Petroleum & Oil Refineries, OEM’s, Cement, Chemical, Atomic Energy & Nuclear Power, etc.

For the social welfare and community development project of the company mentioned here, community development in two villages has been their key focus area now. Amid the visit, they realized a fact that more than a proper classroom infrastructure and an environment they require quality education. The children of such communities do not have access to such quality education opportunities and untrained teachers. They are training their teachers, and thus trying to raise education. At present they have built schools and are running it for the free education of the village children in a proper environment and are offering sanitation facilities for the villagers by building a toilet for each village home. While the first is the stepping stone for social empowerment and eradication of poverty, the second works in conformity with the Swachch Bharat initiative taken by the Government of India to promote health and hygiene for marginal and rural people.
