t h e y e a r . . . . . . a t a g l a n c e
The year 2010-11 was a period of
challenges & turmoil for India, and yet
it had its share of heartening moments.
Be it the scams, tapes and leaks, the unrest
that virtually closed the Kashmir valley for
four months, the naxal disturbances or the
shameful Mirchpur incident in Haryana;
all pointed to the imperative for good
governance, inclusive growth and engaging
youth gainfully.
The global scenario too was not very different
with the turmoil in the Arab world, the
tsunami devastation and the nuclear crisis in
Japan. However, the release of Aung San Suu
Kyi in Burma did bring some cheer. Other
‘feel good’ events included the CWG medal
tally powered by the Haryana hurricanes,
The Right to Education Act coming into
force, launch of the UID project. It was also
a year that underscored the need for carefully
conserving environment, in light of the
tsunami and the Leh flash floods.
For us in the Northern region, all these
inspired our work for the year. In all our
engagements with the government, we
stressed on good governance. Skills, Youth
engagement, Sustainability, working with
society were our priority.
The CII Northern region rose to the occasion
following the Leh disaster. In addition to
providing immediate relief in 21 locations,
CII undertook to rebuild 13 houses in Saboo

village, 2 of which were handed over to the
beneficiaries by the Union Home Minister,
Mr P Chidambaram in November.
There were many firsts in the region.
At the largest Buyer Seller meet organised
by the region – the Industrial Expo, 07
large manufacturing companies shared
their purchase requirements & vendor
qualifications with nearly 700 MSMEs. Buyer
Seller Meets held in Gurgaon, Jaipur and
Chandigarh, facilitated interaction between
50 buyers and 100 member companies.
The region launched its first Skills Centre
in Parwanoo in May 2010. The 2nd Skill
Development Centre is on the anvil in
Rajasthan. District wise Skill Gap studies
were conducted for J&K, Delhi and Haryana,
as also a study on skill gaps in Retail sector
in North India.
Though the Manpower mix study conducted
in the region says we are doing well – of
the 4.4 lakh people employed by members
included in the Study, 22% belonged to SC/
ST category, I believe we have miles to go.
This year we trained around 1000 persons
through skills programmes of CII & its
member companies. I believe that for a true
Inclusive growth, this effort would need to be
stepped up.
Two other special initiatives, inclusive in
nature, were Ability 2010 wherein CII helped
place 57 persons with physically challenges
you see throughout the Report and the list of
Studies brought out in the year, is testimony to
the powerful policy advocacy in the region.
We launched our fourth Yi Chapter in the
region – in Jammu two weeks back.
Our membership has registered a growth of
9.5% and we grew to a family of 2630. Vijay
and I met members in a series of formal and
informal interactions.
This is a just glimpse of the year gone by, the
details of which you will find in the following
pages.
I was guided and supported by the team that
I have had the privilege to work with – the
Regional Council, the State, Zonal, Sub-
Committee and Events chairpersons. True
to the CII values, the Past Presidents, Past
Chairmen, the CII President, Vice President
and the Director General gave good advice
and support. Vijay was indeed my partner in
whatever we could achieve this year.
I wish to sincerely thank my team at the
Northern Region – Charu and each member
for their tremendous commitment.
The coming year will hold its own challenges
& opportunities, and I am confident that CII
will continue to play a critical role in shaping
the future.
in corporate mainstream; and Social Expo
which provided a marketing platform for
products made by the underprivileged and
marginalised sections of the society.
On the Sustainability front, I am pleased
to share that the region walked the talk
by installing rain water harvesting in its
headquarters and the Lucknow office. Other
highlights were signing of the lease deed for
Water Institute in Jaipur and launch of the
Green Business Club.
Agriculture focus was reflected in the strong
outreach to 55,000 farmers through Agro Tech
& Agri Conclaves, special Kisan Goshthis, Jal
Sangram, progressive farmers’ and women
farmers’ participation.
Among the major events this year, I would
like to specially mention Ceraglass 2010,
which was country’s first comprehensive
show on Ceramics & Glass industry. Held in
association with the Rajasthan Government,
the show resulted in the Government
announcing setting up a 750 acre Ceramic &
Glass hub in the State.
Steel Mart 2010 brought steel manufacturers
to the large user industry in North India
and strengthening of their retail outlets. The
series of sessions on Family Business and
Leadership talks were much appreciated by
members.
Our engagement with Government was
strong, as always. The Policy dashboard that

CII Leh relief and rehabilitation task force
was set up to provide support, guidance and facilitate
implementation. Chaired by Mr Sunil Kant Munjal, Past
President, CII and Co-chaired by Mr Harpal Singh, Past
Chairman, CII Northern region, the team decided, on
request of Mr Tsering Angchuk, Deputy Commissioner, to
build totally damaged houses in Saboo village.
CII Leh relief & rehab operationThe Leh cloudburst brought about vast devastation sweeping away lives and homes. Responding immediately, CII stationed
a 4-member team for four months to oversee its relief & rehabilitation operations.
A 15-member team worked to mobilise 20 tons of immediate relief material worth Rs 1.2 crore, viz. dry ration
(sugar, tea, snacks, salt & fruits), hygiene kits, community tents, woolen clothing, blankets, kitchen utensils, solar lanterns &
battery lamps, water purification systems & tablets, medicines, hand-tools. These distributable materials were transported to
Ladakh mainly through the Indian Air Force carrier aircraft IL 76 and a Mahindra Swaraj truck.
The CII team was the first to reach 7 far flung villages by crossing a ropeway over Zanskar river as the roads had
been swept away. The relief material was distributed across 21 locations including the relief camps of Choglamsar,
village Saboo and Nimu and other far flung villages, like Skiu & Kaya.

Construction of Houses:
After due assessment, CII committed to
build the 13 totally damaged houses in
the village Saboo.
After many deliberations and
consultation, CII arrived at an improved
version of a traditional Ladakhi house.
• 325 sqft area comprised 1 large
Ladakhi kitchen, 1 smaller room and
an air-locking corridor
• Walls made with compressed earth
blocks stabilised with cement for
strength
• Double-glazed windows for
solarisation
• CGI sheets with EPS insulation,
instead of wooden roofs
Of these, 2 model houses were built during October &
November and were handed over to
the identified beneficiaries: Rigzin,
a 50-year-old single lady and her
85-year-old invalid mother; Shafi
Mohhamed, a constable in the J&K
Police. His wife gave birth to a baby
boy 20 days after their house was
washed away in the cloudburst.
Mr P Chidambaram, Union Home Minister, inaugurated the first house constructed by CII
in Saboo Village in Ladakh and handed
over the key to the first beneficiary on
30 October 2010.
The CII team left Leh temporarily in November and will be back in
April 2011 to build the balance 11 houses for which the material
has already been stored in the Community Centre in the village.
Concurrent to the house construction, CII will also plans to work
with the local communities to explore enhancing livelihood options.
CII Leh Relief and Rehabilitation Project is successful example
of partnership at work. CII member companies, as always,
contributed generously to the project. The J&K State Government and
the Deputy Commissioner of Leh were helpful in guiding our work.
