Community Development

The Company's Community Service Division works through various societies to improve the conditions of neighbouring villages - encouraging economic independence through self-initiated cottage industries and contributing to community and social forestry, road construction, rural health, education, water supply and family planning.

Tata Motors has been making numerous well-planned efforts in the area of rural development, with specific focus on the following:

• Health & Sanitation
• Employment Generation
• Community Centres

Health & Sanitation

Mobile health service staff provide preventive and curative health services under the "Health For All" programme. They train village health workers in conducting the same. Safe drinking water facilities are provided to ensure health of the villagers.

Employment Generation

Tata Motors encourages self-sufficiency with the aim to improving the confidence, morale and lives of its employees and their dependents. The Company has worked on some novel ideas around its townships. Employees' relatives at Pune have been encouraged to form various industrial co-operatives engaged in activities such as re-cycling of scrap wood into crates and furniture, welding, steel scrap baling, battery cable assembly etc. The Tata Motors Grihini Social Welfare Society caters to employees' women dependents'. The women folk make a variety of products, ranging from pickles and uniforms to electrical cable harnesses etc.

Community Centres

These centres are situated in various parts of Jamshedpur, Pune and some of their neighbouring towns. The centres regularly organise various programmes and neighbouring populations are encouraged to participate in these activities.
