Cairn India – CSR Initiatives Respect | Relationships | Responsibility
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes strike
a balance between addressing the unique needs of various communities while partnering the state and central agencies
to help strive for the betterment of the social indicators of the regions.
This journey from micro to macro makes the CSR initiatives
more effective and sustainable.
For every life touched there is a larger story of the community and the village.

East Godavari is primarily an
agricultural district and is among the most prosperous districts in the state. Statistically, it is a potential hinterland for hydrocarbon reserves in the country, as many locations in the Godavari Basin have been identified as rich sources for oil and natural gas in the country.
In sharp contrast to the district, Surasaniyanam is one of the most backward villages. Its population is mainly engaged in agriculture, prawn fishing and petty labour.
A majority of women across the country are denied even the basic dignity and human respect of having the provision of individual toilets.

Health and Sanitation
As per statistics, crimes against women in smaller villages and towns are mostly committed when they step out in the open fields due to absence of toilets in their vicinity. Cairn designed and implemented a total sanitation programme in the village. The investment made to construct individual toilets is much higher than the national average. Women in the village feel these toilets have helped
restore their dignity. They no longer have to step out in fear and it has helped improve hygiene practices in the village.
Cairn has created infrastructure for storage of potable water and has implemented a model for distribution of safe drinking water to individual households in collaboration with the Panchayat.
Our intervention on health in Ravva has been related to both preventive and curative care at different levels. Cairn runs a clinic in Surasaniyanam, which addresses the primary healthcare needs of the community in the village and other neighbouring villages. Apart from an Out Patient Department (OPD), facility Cairn also provides round-the-clock emergency services. Health camps are also organised from time to time with focus on specific health issues.
Absence of state of the art healthcare facility in the vicinity of Surasaniyanam resulted in a lot of health related problems being left unaddressed.
