In a glittering ceremony, she handed over the TERI 2009 CSR trophy to Shri GM Rao, Group Chairman - GMR Group and his wife Smt. Varalakshmi.
The TERI Corporate Award for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is in recognition of corporate leadership for social responsibility and sustainable development initiatives. Its objectives are to assess the extent of CSR in corporate functioning and development, identification of best practices and innovations in the Indian corporate sector.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri GM Rao said, "We are extremely honoured at receiving this recognition. The work done by GMR Varalakshmi Foundation - the Group's CSR arm - is a humble effort on our part to give back to the society, especially the less privileged and make them our partners in progress. This award would serve as an impetus for us to reach out to more and more sections of the society."
The GMR Group received the top award in the category comprising organizations with turnover exceeding Rs. 1000 crore per annum. GMR Varalakshmi Foundation whose work was the objective of the award's assessment, works in the areas of Education, Health, hygiene and sanitation, Empowerment and livelihoods and Community development.
The Foundation works intensively with the poorer sections of the society surrounding the business operations and projects of various GMR Group companies all over the country. The thrust areas enable the Foundation to develop need-based and locale-specific responses to the needs of the diverse communities it works with, rather than being project driven with narrow objectives.
The focus of GMR's application for the award was its skill training efforts in Hyderabad, which aim to capacity-build dropout youth from villages around the new International Airport for entry level technical jobs. Trained youth have been placed with various contractors at the Airport, as well as the city in general. A permanent training centre set up at the Airport trains over 600 youth every year. Over 75% of youth trained are successfully settled in jobs.
According to Dr. V Raghunathan, CEO - GMRVF, "This award is a validation of our commitment as a Group towards inclusive growth and providing respectable means of livelihood to the less privileged sections of the society."
The GMRVF team was chosen for the TERI Corporate Award after a rigorous selection process. A dedicated team of evaluators comprising TERI research professionals first evaluated the submitted case studies. The summary of all shortlisted case studies was sent to all jury members for their consideration and later a formal presentation was made by the shortlisted entries to the jury. Further an onsite verification of stated facts of shortlisted case studies was also carried out to validate and authenticate the selection.
