In this environment of business and competition, I believe there are fundamentally two objectives every business must fulfill. First, business must create superior products and service that in turn generates steady profit. Secondly companies must assume responsibility as good Corporate Citizens. It is vital that these two are pursued simultaneously.
Our commitment to social projects encourages employees to serve the community and a business enterprise like our’s generates talent, expertise, skills and organizing power useful to facilitate programs for self help communities.
Tecumseh and CII together have made a modest beginning, starting a small project at Samaypur Village near Ballabgarh. This initiative includes Primary education for deprived children and vocational training for women. CII and Tecumseh have the village Panchayat as partners in this Sadbhavna Pariyojana to sustain the project for future. We believe economic, social and environment goals are not always in conflict. I wish this small experiment is inspirational for other partnerships between CII and Industry. Although we may not get everything right first time, we are determined to learn and improve.
