The article in HBL on the 1st December 2013 said that! We said that exactly in our 1st Issue and set that as our ‘Mission’ …. to create a process where our sites, clusters, locations and other units could effectively engage in their CSR activities and communicate the details of such programs. It served to replicate and energize many others too! What we witnessed in these last 8 issues of ‘Reaching Out’ has gone far beyond anyone’s expecta-tion! There is so much of ‘giving’ in L&T Construction? YES indeed!! In the time ahead, we would now stay sharp-focused to do lot more – by budgeting our CSR, monitoring activities and the spend under the specified heads. We shall also look at sustaining many such programs, to ensure that we build on it year after year and that these are not an isolated act.

In the year 2014, let us give our very best, to the very deserving, in every effort of our CSR.

Have a great year!

Do good and tom - tom it!
