8. Education

As a CSR endeavour, CGPL has established Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) at Mundra within the CGPL plant premises and inaugurated on 26 March 2016. The main objective of the TPSDI is improve skills through re-skilling, up skilling, certification and accreditation, to improve employability of PAPs and others in community, to enhance employability of fresh ITI students and workforce with contractors. CGPL in the long term proposes to hire workers who are trained and certified through TPSDI.

Siksha Sarthi Programme with Pratham is ongoing. Initiatives were focussed on children in various levels such as 3 to 5 and 4 to 8 standards. Mother involvement were carried with mothers of children in 1 and 2 standard.

Science program has been initiated and camps, exhibitions have been organised for the students and schools. A permanent Science centre is being set up to enable the school students to visit understand, carry out experiments. Emphasis has been on easily replicable demonstrations which any student can replicate at home using inexpensive and easily available materials.

Short video clips for the CSR programmes have been prepared and uploaded on the CGPL Mundra website. This need to be undertaken regularly and be an ongoing activity. Documentation reflecting the impact of these educational activities on the beneficiaries should be recorded in written or documentary form. The overall improvement in the quality of education and improvement in teaching should be assessed with reference to the pre programme levels. Looking at the impact of educational activities in the Mandvi and Mundra region with Pratham, there is need to bring the entire programme into the public domain and increase participation of children through more competitions/contests, supplements in newspapers on a fortnightly or monthly basis, special intra and inter school

SWM programme has been a very good practice which has been initiated in 5 villages. Programmes consists of many activities to generate awareness in schools and community, establishment of waste segregation centres and committees, providing dustbins, etc.

Panchayats should be motivated to declare their panchayats plastic free. A lot of plastic wastes has been observed especially plastic pouches used for water. Panchayats and distributors should be motivated to discourage this practice. Instead clean drinking water can be provided at public places to prevent use of pouches. Disposal of carcasses is a major issue for most rural communities with the responsibilities being thrust on the panchayats. As part of the initiatives related to waste management, appropriate arrangements for disposal of animal carcasses is required.
