ESL, a Vedanta Group Company and a key national steel player, held a reward and award ceremony at Nand Ghar with the support of their O&M Partner, Humana People to People India to felicitate its Anganwadi Workers who performed exceptionally well during critical times.
Speaking on the occasion, Pankaj Malhan, CEO, ESL Steel Limited said, “The award ceremony was held to honour its Front Line Workers for their undying spirit and to further
motivate them to work with the same zeal. We hope to hold more such ceremonies to further boost the employees to give their best.”
The ceremony was attended by ICDS Department officials, PRI members, CSR representatives and the AWWs. ESL credited the constant efforts by AWWs to uplift the
community in ESL’s operational areas as the process of converting Angadwadis to Nand Ghars commenced.
Manisha Vats, District Social Welfare Officer Bokaro said, “Nand Ghar is an excellent initiative to recognise women who have done great work in community development and in upliftment of women and rural children.
This initiative by Vedanta aims to ensure rural India is not left behind in the country’s march towards progress. It is committed to the national vision of eradicating child malnutrition, providing education, healthcare and empowering women with skill development.”
The program aims to touch lives of 4 million people, directly imparting 2,00,000 children and 1,80,000 women, annually. Healthy children and empowered women will make India a prosperous nation.
