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.
