Bokaro: In a move to review progress, share best practices and strengthen collaborative action for inclusive community development, ESL Steel Limited on Tuesday convened a CSR Partners Meet in Bokaro.
The meet brought together key non-governmental partners—Citizens Foundation, American India Foundation, EMP Bindi, Gramin Seva Sangh, Avileen Foundation and SEEDS—along with ESL’s senior leadership, including Ravish Sharma, Deputy CEO & Whole-Time Director, and Anand Dubey, Chief Financial Officer.
Deliberations focused on the outcomes of ongoing CSR programmes across education, skill development, sports promotion, livelihood enhancement and broader community welfare. Participants also explored ways to deepen partnerships and scale up initiatives to deliver long-term, measurable social impact in communities surrounding ESL’s operations.
Addressing the gathering, Ravish Sharma emphasised the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainable development.
