6.0 Monitoring

The Tier-II Committee on CSR and SUST as well as Board Sub-Committee for CSR and

Sustainability regularly monitor progress of CSR programme and the expenditure

incurred.

7.0 Result/Impact

A comprehensive assessment of the impact of the CSR programme on the quality of life

of the local people is being planned. Meanwhile, the interactions of CSR teams and senior

executives with the local population indicate that they have a feeling of being taken care

of, they have expressed happiness over better educational, medical and infrastructure

facilities. They are now more open to request facilities they need. Projects for

sustainability have been integrated in the CSR programme. Skill development initiatives

are being emphasized to help the village people generate income.

8.0 Challenges

For winning over the sceptics and opponents of nuclear power as well as for making a

meaningful impact on the quality of the life of local population, the CSR programme

needs to be implemented for effective and expeditious implementation. On some

occasions, lack of consensus was also found among the village representatives due to

difference in opinions. Better public awareness and communication can help resolve such

situations. Also interfaces with state government agencies, NGOs and Gram Panchayats

need to be strengthened.

9.0 Conclusion

The CSR projects of the units are monitored on monthly basis by the NPCIL

Headquarters. The CSR projects have helped in establishing a channel of effective

communication with the local community around the units of NPCIL. There has been a

significant increase in the number of CSR projects completed as well as the funds

available for the CSR programme during the year. These projects adequately cover the

needs of the local population around the units. The CSR project implementation needs to

be speeded up by all the sites so that fund can be utilized.
