Introduction

Background of Mumbai Mobile Crèches

Mobile Crèches was founded by Meera Mahadevan in 1969 in Delhi on the belief that every child has the fundamental right to security, education, health care and protection.

A housewife at the time, she was passing a construction site when she was struck by the sight of a baby lying unattended and exposed to the harsh heat. The next day, she set up a tent, hired some help and started the first Mobile Crèche. This initiated a social movement whose guiding principle was - Early Childhood Matters.

Since then, Mobile Crèches has developed a comprehensive day care service programme that meets children´s emotional, physical, cognitive and social development needs, and has pioneered the first Early Child Care Education (ECCE) programme for migrant workers´ children in this country.

In April 2007, after over three decades of working as one organisation, Mobile Crèches has split into three separate entities - Mobile Crèches (Delhi), Mumbai Mobile Crèches and Tara Mobile Crèches (Pune). While this move has been to ensure administrative simplicity, the commitment and focus continues unchanged.

Philosophy of Mumbai Mobile Crèches

Our vision is for all children to have a nurturing and happy childhood and our mission is to

promote ‘child-friendly sites’; where every child living on a construction site is safe, healthy and

educated, and able to enjoy their childhood. For us, ensuring that the first few years of a child‘s

life are well nourished and stimulating is an essential foundation for a happy childhood, and we

have a special focus on children below six.

Aims and Objectives.

MMC views the following as its main challenges: (1) to break the cycle of poverty on the site by

creating the support mechanisms and structure for children to receive stimulating child care and

education and improved wellbeing; and (2) to promote the importance of child friendly

construction sites among care givers, builders, contractors, civil society and the government.

Providing stimulating child care is a poverty alleviation strategy that has numerous positive and

empowering consequences for entire communities; such as improved nutrition, enhanced

performance, self confidence, and higher school attendance, a reduction in teenage parenting,

smaller, healthier families, and more economically productive individuals. Child development

centres focusing on young children are essential to child protection, survival and growth.

Activities undertaken by Mumbai Mobile Crèches

MMC sees its role as multi-pronged. When set up on a site, our child development centre’s:

Support the intellectual, emotional and physical development of the very young child and

create the foundations required for school entry and high individual achievement;

Free older children from the burden of child care and child labor and help them enter and

perform well in school;

Support the working mother who is reassured in the knowledge that her children are safe

and looked after;

Provide guidance and support to parents on child rights, health and care, especially

educating parents on the importance of crèches and balwadis on construction sites.

7

In 2009-10 Mumbai, MMC ran 29 centres and reached almost 6000 children. Moreover, MMC champions the cause of young children on construction sites through its advocacy efforts with builders, civil society groups, NGOs and the government. MMC’s slogan – Futures under Construction, refers to the future of children living on construction sites, as well as the organization’s vision for inclusive futures throughout India.

Project Objective

The main objective of this presentation was to find out the opportunities for Mumbai Mobile

Crèches to pitch themselves in the companies where they still have scope and how to

comprehend Mumbai Mobile Crèches with the CSR Bill. It also gives a broad view of how the

NGO can present themselves to the Allied Companies.

CSR BILL

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is now accepted as a means to achieve sustainable development of an organization. Hence, it needs to be accepted as an organizational objective. The Companies Bill, 2012 will make Indian companies to consciously work towards that objective, as it requires a prescribed class of companies to spend a portion of their profits on CSR activities.

CSR impacts almost every area of operations: governance and ethics; employee hiring, providing opportunity; stakeholders benefit sharing and energy usage and environment protection. The Companies Bill, 2012 intends to inculcate the philosophy of CSR among Indian companies.

STIPULATIONS OF THE COMPANIES BILL, 2012

Every company with net worth of Rs 500 crore or more, or turnover of Rs 1,000 crore or more or a net profit of Rs 5 crore or more during any financial year to constitute a CSR Committee of the Board consisting of three or more directors, of which at least one director shall be an independent director. 

The Board’s report to disclose the composition of the CSR Committee.  The main functions of the CSR Committee are to:

1. Formulate and recommend to the board, a CSR policy indicating the activity or activities to be undertaken by the company as specified in Schedule VII of the Act; 

2. Recommend the amount to be spent on these activities; and 3. Monitor the company's CSR policy periodically. 

After the CSR Committee makes it recommendations, Board of the company shall approve the CSR Policy and disclose contents of such policy in its report and also place it on the company's website. Further, details about the policy developed and implemented by the company on CSR initiatives during the year to be included in the Board's report every year.

Boards to ensure that the activities listed in the CSR Policy are undertaken by the company.

Board to ensure that at least 2% of average net profits of the company in the three immediately preceding financial years are spent in every financial year on such activity.

Preference to be given to the local area and areas around the company operates for CSR spending. 

If a company fails to provide or spend such amount, Board to specify reasons in its report for that failure. 

Companies required to comply with CSR shall give additional Information by way of notes to the Statement of Profit and Loss about the aggregate expenditure on CSR activities. 

Schedule VII of the Companies Bill 2012 prescribes activities that may be included by companies in their CSR policies:

10

1. Eradicating extreme hunger and poverty; 2. Promotion of education; 3. Promoting gender equality and empowering women 4. Reducing child mortality and improving maternal health; 5. Combating human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency

syndrome, malaria and other diseases; 6. Ensuring environmental sustainability; 7. Employment enhancing vocational skills; 8. Social business projects; 9. Contribution to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund or any other fund set up

by the Central Government or the State Governments for socioeconomic development and relief and funds for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, other backward classes, minorities and women; and;

10. Other matters as may be prescribed.

Impact/Industry Response:

With CSR spending becoming mandatory for prescribed class of companies, there is bound to be increased engagement of companies with social and development projects. So far, there were only voluntary guidelines for companies to follow.

The rationales for CSR activity is that corporate earn their profit by exploiting different resources of the society, and so a portion of the benefit derived by them should be channeled for the betterment of society. 

Though compulsory CSR spending may seem burdensome for some class of companies, it will create of a sense of responsibility among Corporate, especially when they see benefits in the long term. 

Children, women, uneducated, and unemployed would be among the beneficiaries as CSR activities may be focused on them. 

The intention of policy makers is quite clear - to report business community's contribution for fulfillment of social, environmental and economic responsibilities. While contribution to the local community is a good objective, businesses should choose social, environmental and economic activities that contribute to society at large. 

CSR activities will also help improve the image of a company within the society as one that cares for the community. 

Significantly, there is no penalty for defaulting on CSR norms. Only an explanation is to be given by the board in its report for such non-compliance. So, it seems there is no real coercive factor. 

The Government has adopted a "Gandhi wad" with the provision - either contribute to society or inform to society why you are not contributing.

22

Conclusion

A lot of research helped us to learn the various CSR activities of big and reputed companies like

the Asian Paints, J.K Cement, Raheja Builders, Lodha Builders and many more. They also

helped us to prepare the Presentations at a more corporate level.

Visit to the Crèches taught us the level of commitment the MMC requires from their employees

and volunteers.

Mumbai Mobile Crèches can focus their concentration on companies like the Paint Industries,

Hardware Industries and other Manufacturing companies as they involve labor class and thus

those labors would require additional help through Mumbai Mobile Crèches.

Social Mapping is an essential requirement for any NGO, working for the benefit of the slums

because through the social map NGO is able to identify the whole area on which they are

working and can plan the activities they can initiate for their benefit. It is also beneficial in order

to generate funds from investors because by going through the map the investor can come to

know that up to what area NGO is targeting to cover the money they are investing in the NGO is

actually less or more than required. But while doing the mapping we faced many challenges like

communication barriers, confusing streets, Physical tiredness etc. but in spite of that also we

overcomes that and tried to cover as much area as possible to cover within three week

23

Recommendations

After working for three weeks with the MMC and roaming in slum what I realized that their change agents are mostly women so they are able to influence only girls and women and the youths and males are not the active participants of any activity organized by the MMC, so one thing what I want to recommend to MMC is to increase awareness among the males and motivate them in the same manner as they are motivating the women because if youths are being motivated and started participating in helping MMC then the success rate of development may increase.

Secondly what I would suggest is that MMC should work to increase its visibility within the locality, as after visiting in the slum for three weeks what I realized that peoples living in the area are somewhere not aware of the presence of the MMC, so up to some extent MMC needs to advertise itself in the locality so that the peoples living over there comes to take the benefit from the NGO.

Thirdly, MMC can go for collaboration with some government or non-government bodies for the

development of the locality.

24

Learning

Working with MMC helped us a lot in understanding that how peoples are ready to help the others without expecting something in return, how a nonprofit generating body works to develop a locality, we as a common people should also do something which can be helpful for the society. As per our work assigned as social mapping we may not be directly doing some benefit for the society but our work would help the MMC in planning their activities in broader way which ultimately would help the society.

After working with MMC for three week and mapping in the area of Navi Mumbai for doing survey we come to know that there are lots of development is required everywhere, though we are living in the financial capital of the country but there are still many things in the society which needs to be developed. Peoples living in the allied industries are very reluctant for the change and are not ready to except the changes done even for their benefits. So, we also need to motivate peoples living in those areas to raise their standard of living because we cannot help others unless and until they don’t want to help themselves.
