Coal India to spend Rs 235 cr on toilets
New Delhi: Coal India today said it will spend Rs 235 crore on building toilets and improving sanitation in schools and households of underprivileged.
The amount of Rs.235 crore would be utilised for creating modern sanitation facilities in schools operating in the command areas of CIL’s subsidiary companies and in the villages of economically backward districts which lack toilet facilities identified by coal companies through a baseline survey,” the PSU said in a statement. “The fund is 50% of the company’s total corporate social responsibility (CSR) war chest of Rs.470 crore budgeted for the ongoing financial year,” it said.
“The company will engage various NGOs for the construction of toilets as well as undertake awareness campaigns for better sanitation,” it said adding that a total of around one lakh households would be benefited by the sanitation initiative. “This apart, around 6,000 toilet facilities would be built in schools. This hygiene drive is targeted to be completed within March 2015, through engagement of NGO agencies by coal companies,” it said.
