ACC LAUNCHES SANKALP INITIATIVE IN LAKHERI

 

 

September, 2013 - ACC Limitedhas been committed to community development since its inception. The company is a pioneer in helping build a healthy environment and creating opportunities to grow for the people living nearby. With this goal the team at ACC Lakheri Cement Works has launched a new Initiative ‘Sankalp One Meal Charity - An initiative in the name of humanity’.  

                

Under the guidance of  Director Plant-Mr. Umesh Pratap, each employee at the Plant has decided to skip one meal per week and the savings from that meal, would be contributed to the Sankalp fund. The money from the fund would further be used to provide food grains to the poor.

 

Under the initiative, distribution of grain packets to union representatives, to people from the community who were in dire states and also to female business partners by employees, has been carried out.

 

This initiative is an attempt to fight the long- term damages that are inflicted by deficiencies in nutrition to both individuals and society. It has been observed that compared to their better-fed peers, nutrition-deficient individuals are more likely to have infectious diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, which lead to a higher mortality rate.
