farms of South Western Pipavav, Gujarat. These Windmills require very less
maintenance even while working in the harsh oceanfront environment and 50
such windmill are scheduled to be deployed in two phases. During any given salt
season, each windmill is expected to:
Pump 3 million litres of salt water
Save around 2,600 litres of diesel (Which translates into 7 tons in CO2 emissions
per year)
Have a life expectancy of 10-15 years
Reduce CO2 emissions by over 300 tons per year

Livelihood Creation
Livelihood interventions are implemented at the farm level for communities that are
predominantly agrarian and through vocational education and skill building for youth
to give them access to better job markets. Some of our successes are in the area of
improved agricultural practices, animal husbandry and poultry that substantially
augment incomes of farmers and take them from subsistence to surplus. Youth are
trained for new age jobs in the service sector and in technical training at the Industrial
Training Institutes.
Support to Infrastructure
Availability of adequate infrastructure is key to the holistic development of an area. The
group companies support infrastructure as per the needs of the communities.
Construction of schools and health centres, deepening of village ponds and building
check dams, drinking water tanks and pipelines and in some areas the construction of
village roads and street lighting are some of the examples of the support we have given
so far.
Women Empowerment
The Avantha CSR programmes have brought women, who have traditionally been
neglected and excluded from the development process, into the centre stage of the
decision-making and made them agents of change in their own communities. Formation
of Self Help Groups, helps a large number of women to gain financial independence
through micro enterprise ventures has been the key highlight.

The constructed toilets were handed over to villagers in May 2012. Villagers, who were
previously resorting to open defecation, now started using toilets thereby creating a
clean environment. It brought dignity to the village women who had to go to the fields at
wee hours only for this activity. Elderly and the sick could now use these toilets at their
convenience. In addition, it got a huge change in the way the previous technology &
design of toilets laid in the cleaning and maintenance process. The new designs of toilets
needed minimum maintenance and less water as compared to existing designs which
consumed 4-6 litres of water. The one-pit designed toilet also generated manure by
virtue of the technology which could be used later for agricultural crops. Initially, the
wells and percolation tanks in the village failed to retain surface water during monsoon,
due to leakage and other factors. The construction of this check dam will not only store
water during the monsoon, but also will raise the water table in the vicinity, thus
bringing a change in the cultivation and irrigation of land.

Our core focus in JRF is to provide skill building and skill up-gradation training to those
artisans who are associated with carpet weaving and thereby substantially increase
their income. Since most of the artisans involved are women, increased income will
make meaningful contributions in alleviating poverty. We facilitate income generating
opportunities at the door steps of artisans residing in the remotest of the locations and
create forward & backward linkages with the aid of our strategic partners.
Objectives:
1. Enhancing economic returns for artisans through global market linkages.
2. Connecting artisans with the end customers, thus building relationships and infusing
human touch to the value chain.
3. Linking with initiatives undertaken by government, business and civil society to
promote socio-economic well-being of artisans.
4. Serving as a forum for artisans to enable them champions their cause and fulfill their
aspirations.
5. innovating to develop ergonomically designed equipment to ease the working of

Artisan Cards
The Artisan Cards are issues to the artisans by Development Commissioner Handicrafts
and the local nodal entities for undertaking formalities for the same are district
industries centers. But due to lack of awareness and low levels of accessibility, the
artisans are unable to get their cards made. JRF bridges such gaps by spreading
awareness and collecting the requisite documents for getting the formalities done.
These artisan cards let the artisan take up a credit facility worth thousands of rupees
from the government.
Community Mobilization
JRF reaches out to the rural communities and spreads awareness about carpet weaving
as a vocation and their potential gateway for sustainable livelihoods. The thrust is on
locating and training the target populace to transform them into skilled artisans and
alongside, exploring how their collective strengths may be developed further so as to
enable them become life entrepreneurs.
Skill Development Training
79
81 Corporate Foundations in India
Once location mapping has been conducted, localities are selected to conduct the field
level functionaries of the organization. Once the community members get convinced
about the work, they are divided into different batches and their skill development
trainings are organized in their own villages. JRF conducts skill development trainings
in such areas, where the artisans are taught the basics of weaving, the techniques, usage
of tool, efficient manners of working, reading the design maps etc. this whole process
goes on from 2-3 months. JRF installs weaving looms in the villages and lets the trainers
teach the art of weaving to the unskilled community members and transform them into
skilled artisans.
Education
JRF is a firm believer of educating the mass on the whole. Literacy is necessity, and JRF
functions towards spreading awareness and providing knowledge. Other than teaching
the weavers about numerical and literal alphabetic knowledge, the foundation draws
attention upon other fundamental aspects of day to day life. Concentrating mainly
towards educating the women, continued sessions are taken to teach the women how to
read and write; at par letting them perform signatures rather than thumb prints.
Health Camps
The Health Camps are organized in villages so as to enable the poorest of the poor
members of the village community avail expert check-up and treatment along with the
medicines free of cost. These camps are useful in treating the general ailments whereas
the severe health issues are diagnosed and are referred to hospitals for proper care.
These camps help in not only treating the patients but also in identifying potential
health disorders which if otherwise unattended may eventually raise their healthcare
burden. These are taken up in partnerships with local health care providers.

Project ‘Muskaan’ –Supporting Government Rural Primary Education System
JBF understands that the lack of education is a root cause of various social and economic
problems and therefore, the foundation believes that the education should be the
primary area of intervention for empowering the communities. In this regard, Project
Muskaan was introduced in 2007 to support the Government initiatives in primary
education. The project has been named ‘Muskaan’; to bring smile on every child’s face.
It’ primarily aims at improving the learning environment and the quality of education in
the select schools so that students are motivated to attending school and ultimately
cutting down the dropout rate. The project now reaches out to rural government
primary schools in the vicinity of Jubilant’s manufacturing locations.
Healthcare
Though the Government has set up Community Health Centres and Primary Health
Centres to cover the entire population of the country, facilities at these centres are
highly stretched. Adequate resources are generally not available at these centres to
cater to the needs of the people. While private entrepreneurs do set up various types of
healthcare facilities in urban areas, there are major gaps in rural and semi urban areas,
where industries can contribute. The healthcare interventions of the Foundation are
aimed to fill these gaps.
Livelihood Promotion
JBF focuses on enhancing the employability and livelihood opportunity of the
community through skill development.

on sustainable development has only increased and today there are consolidated efforts
made by the foundation to impact each person through their lifecycle as a student and
make various interventions from the time they are children till they reach the
Employment age, and in a way to render them capable of making and following their life
choices.

English education to the community children through use of digital applications. This,
when supplemented with classroom teaching, ensures that students not only learn
English but also get familiar with computers at an early age. `Udaan' is located within
the Pune campus, making it easy for associates to take up their own CSR projects, be it
