undertaken and the systems adopted for the implementation of these programmes have been streamlined and strengthened and the work under SCP/TSP came under the wider scope of CSR. Today, CSR & sustainability development is accorded high priority in the organisational ethos and attempted to be interwoven in all the business activities and the projects that are being undertaken by the company. During the year 2010–11, the company has taken up programmes of a value of approximately for implementation under the seven thrust areas, which include Community Development, Infrastructure, Healthcare/Medical, Skill Development/Empowerment, Educational Aids, Environment Protection, Drinking Water/Sanitation. For the year 2010–11 under the thrust area Community Development, programmes worth are endorsed and the implementation of these projects is in progression. GAIL (India) Ltd. extended its support for the reconstruction and renovation of numerous public utilities/buildings which improved living standards not only for a person or family but for the whole of the villages where this project was implemented. For the sustainable development of the whole community GAIL is also supporting integrated livelihood programmes in villages especially for small and marginal farmers. This would be considered as a drop in the vast ocean but GAIL along with other Oil PSUs is contributing towards provision of LPG connections to BPL families under Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitrak Yojana. This collaborative combined effort of the Oil PSUs would be able to generate a huge wave in the ocean in UP region. GAIL believes that for providing better tomorrow for the community where it has its working the focus should be on the future of the community i.e. children and students. So in view of this belief GAIL is providing vehicles for distribution of a mid-day meal for underprivileged children of government schools so as to encourage the young girls and boys to educate themselves for their better and secured lives. GAIL in the minuscule of its efforts have tried to touch every aspect of life by providing Night shelters and blankets to villagers, adoption of destitute tribal children of the orphanage in the tribal area, generating AIDS awareness and a behaviour change communication programme for truckers of national highways and providing school bus for physically challenged students. In just two years, more than 314,000 families have benefited from the programmes under Community Development. Sponsorship Currently a sponsor of Durand Cup.
