they should help prepare for any future legislation and/or
take steps to better manage their carbon emission profile.
On account of anonymity, individual emission profiles
cannot be revealed. However we will attempt to display
information for the entire cluster as a whole. Cumulatively
the carbon footprint of 13 units stood at 23962 Tonnes of
CO2eq (Carbon Dioxide equivalent) in the first year of
measurement for the period 2011-12. In the second year
of measurement the cumulative value stands at 28036
Tonnes of CO2eq (Carbon Dioxide equivalent). This shows
a marked increase of 4074 Tonnes of CO2eq gases for all
units. The individual increases or decreases have been
disclosed to the individual units and there is a need for
introspection at the local level to understand what they
need to focus on. While 10 units have shown an increase in
absolute carbon emission profiles, 3 units have reduced
their absolute carbon footprint. One among them has
shown the enormous efficiency of investing in renewable
energy. Having invested in carbon mitigation strategies
they have reduced their carbon footprint by a whopping
1293 Tonnes of CO2eq gases.
OGTC – Reduce 1293 Tones of CO2 eg Gases Carbon Management
INTRODUCTION:
The latest report from IPCC highlights the precarious
situation the world is in vis-à-vis climate change. The
certainty that human beings are causing global warming
and the unprecedented damage being caused to the
ecology has been substantiated by the research ongoing
for the past 24 years. Five reports have been released so
far and all of them have categorically linked anthropogenic
causes for the massive spurt in greenhouse gas emissions.
While governments are delaying action, companies are
attempting to step in and make a mark. Retailers like
Walmart, Tesco, M&S among a host of others have
pledged to reduce their carbon footprint and also address
the emission profile of their supply chain. To this effect, a
few Indian organisations have taken the lead and outdone
their peers in measuring and managing their carbon
footprint profile. 13 units within the Okhla Garment &
Gurgaon and Saivana Exports pledged to measure and
understand what their carbon footprint was.
THE PROGRAM:
In the first year of the exercise, detailed training programs
were conducted for senior management, staff and floor
managers to understand why they needed to tackle
carbon emissions. Staff was also trained in setting up the
carbon management measurement systems and how
data tracking needed to be done for their respective units.
While training was performed by Cool Earth, the program
received support from GIZ in propagating the importance
of the subject.
Subsequently in the second year that has just been
concluded, staffs were well equipped to perform the
measurement in the systems on their own. By using a
sound data collation technique and building on the
exercise in the first year, most units have started to
understand how the carbon footprint profile has
increased/ decreased. This is a crucial step in the process
as it provides important learning and inferences in how

Opportunities and Challenges was held at Hotel Park,
New Delhi on 3rd March 2014. It was jointly organized by
the Ministry of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises and
the German Development Cooperation GIZ. The key
note address was delivered by Mr. Madhav Lal,
Secretary, Ministry of MSME.
Mr. R C Kesar, Director General and Mr. M K Mehra,
Director OGTC attended the workshop
Energy efficiency and therefore energy efficiency
finance has been put high on the political agenda.
Although there have been a number of activities in this
domain, MSMEs still face challenges in understanding
the importance of the topic and are taking limited action
in response to proposals by the numerous energy audits,
awareness campaigns and capacity buildings
conducted. A first round of stakeholder consultations
suggests that the presentation of best-practices by
MSME will convince other entrepreneurs who have
already been exposed to energy efficiency awareness
campaigns. It has been observed that they often lack
trust and hence should be the first one to start such a
project
Against this background, the Ministry of MSME and GIZ
have organized this workshop. The goal was to address
MSMEs by showcasing best practices already
undertaken in the MSME sector. The workshop also
aimed to provide
a networking platform for the relevant stakeholders
such as MSMEs, bankers, Chartered Accountants,
Energy Auditors and Consultants and
information on relevant subsidies, loan schemes and
trainings
The Ministry of MSME presented details of the
Technology and Quality Upgradation Support to MSMEs
(TEQUP). The main objective of the scheme is to
sensitize the Indian MSMEs to upgrade their
manufacturing processes toward usage of energy
efficient technologies so as to reduce cost of production
and emission of Green House Gases. TEQUP supports by
way of

The Workshop on Financing Energy Efficient Technology for MSMEŸ Capacity Building of MSME Clusters in EET (capacity
building - grant of 75% of the actual expenditure,
subject to maximum Rs. 75,000/- per programme; DPR
- grant will be 50% of the actual expenditure subject to
maximum Rs.1.5 lakh per DPR )
Ÿ Assistance in Implementation of Energy Efficiency
Technology Projects (subsidy upto 25% of the cost of
the project will be provided, maximum amount Rs.10
lakhs per project)
Ÿ Assistance in Product Certification (subsidy to the
extent of 75% of the actual expenditure, towards
licensing of product to National/International
Standards, maximum Rs.1.5 lakh per MSME)
In the course of the event it was further demonstrated
that Energy Efficiency Projects are an effective business
model for MSMEs as well as for Banks. Taking into
account that latter are directly impacted in terms of
profitability, energy efficiency projects help them to
mitigate their portfolio risk and seize new business
opportunities. Further, bankers and Chartered Accounts
can play an important role to pave the way for a more
energy efficient MSME sector.
It was highlighted by the Ministry of MSME and various
other participants that
Ÿ There is need for collaboration and coordination of
interventions in the field of energy efficiency for
MSMEs.
Ÿ Platforms such as Sameeeksha should be used more
effectively to share information about best practices
and outcome of interventions.
Ÿ The collection of project related data across all
stakeholders working on energy eff iciency
interventions should continue.
Ÿ The preparation of benchmarking documents for
several interventions such as awareness raising for
MSMEs, energy audit preparation and capacity building
of bankers by the Ministry of MSME is seen as a very
useful undertaking by many participants.

Training, Employment and Advocacy for People with DisabilityI take extreme pleasure in sharing with you that we represent an NGO called SARTHAK which is working in the field of disability rehabilitation. Employment is the basic and the ultimate way to attain overall rehabilitation. Therefore, it is the area of focus for us as well.
We work under three major heads, being Training, Employment and Advocacy for people with disability and Early Intervention for Children with Special needs. We believe in the concept of involving the stakeholder in the process of functioning, for better results. Therefore, the corporate sector being the most important stakeholder in the process since they are the employers for the people with disability are also involved in the process of training, employment and advocacy for people with disability.
Today, I am writing to you, to share with you, how disability affects one’s life and makes it different from the others. I was a dentist by qualification and profession, but due to a genetic disorder, I lost my vision. I was completely devastated for a year or so, but the never give up attitude, or rather the attitude to live with difficulties lead me to explore opportunities for myself as a person who has a visual disability and also has a family to look after. During this period, I realised that organisations focussed on the skill development aspect but the employment was not given due importance.
Hence, I decided to start something which would support these trained candidates to get a job to live their life with dignity and respect. This is how, we started SARTHAK. Today, I am extremely proud to share with you that in a short span of 5 years, we have supported the placement of 3000 candidates with disability across the nation. This would not have been possible with the support of the private sector enterprises.
If you look at the statistics which says that there is almost 10% of the country’s population which has one or more types of disability, the numbers that we have reached is still very less and there is a huge mass still waiting for an opportunity.
Today, I wish to tell you that Hiring of people with disability has now become a business model and is a right based approached and no more a charity. Therefore, every organisation must look at the people with disability as an alternate source of candidates or employees.
They are definitely much more committed and sincere towards their work. For a matter of fact, that anything that involves effort is always respected and kept well.
You are people who are doing great jobs and I am sure that if can get some support from your end, we will be able to do much more. The work will become much more effective and I am sure, you will do whatever would be possible.
In this respect, I wish to humbly request you to kindly give us an appointment, so that we can personally come and meet you and present our case. I am sure leaders like you who have reached such heights of success in life will definitely take forward the weaker sections of our society along with you and support us in creating an inclusive world for all.
To know more about us, our activities and our partners and supporters please find our brochure and the Annual Report for the year 2013 as attachment. You can also log on to www.sarthakindia.org to see our activities and achievements.
