Abstract:
This project aims to offer a preliminary case study exploration of the Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) issues being addressed and reported by Nikhil Limaye the
researcher.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the commitment of business to
contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, their families,
the local community and society at large to improve quality of life, in ways that are both
good for business and good for development.
Although the contemporary CSR agenda is maturing, the term CSR has not yet
taken hold within many public sector agencies, either in industrial or developing
countries. Few government initiatives have been undertaken explicitly as pro-CSR
initiatives but nonetheless many have contributed effectively to the promotion of greater
social responsibility.
There is a significant opportunity for public sector bodies in developing countries
to harness current enthusiasm for CSR alongside key public policy goals and priorities
to encourage delivery of results in both respects.

Chapter 1:
Introduction to the Industry
The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth of the
Indian economy. The petroleum and natural gas sector which includes transportation,
refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas constitutes over 15 per cent of the
country's gross domestic product (GDP).
As per an Investment Commission report, petroleum exports have also emerged as
the single largest foreign exchange earner, accounting for 11.5 per cent and 15 per cent of
the total exports in 2005-06 and 2006-07. The growth continues in the new fiscal with the
export of petroleum products touching US$ 20.03 billion during April-December 2007.
However, India's domestic demand for oil and gas is also on the rise. As per the
Ministry of Petroleum, demand for oil and gas is likely to increase from 176.40 million
tones of oil equivalent (mmtoe) in 2007-08 to 233.58 mmtoe in 2011-12.
As per the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, 2006, India's primary
commercial energy consumption (including coal, oil and gas) was 423 mmtoe in 2006,
making it the fourth largest consumer in the world with a four per cent share of the global
primary commercial energy consumption. The primary commercial energy consumption
in India grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5 per cent during 1996-
2006, which is more than double the global CAGR during the same period. Of the total
primary commercial energy consumption in India, oil constitutes 28 per cent and natural
gas 8 per cent. Coal continues to be the dominant fuel accounting for 57 per cent of total
energy consumption.
Domestic production of crude oil has been increasing steadily. While production
grew by 5.6 per cent in 2006-07 to 33.98 million tons (MT) from 32.19 MT in 2005-06, it
has increased to 34.11 MT during 2007-08.

Global Refining Hub
India is emerging as the global hub for oil refining as it enjoys competitive cost
advantage, with capital costs lower by as much as 25 to 50 per cent over other Asian
countries.
Already, the fifth largest country in the world in terms of refining capacity (up from
19th in 1995), with a share of 3 per cent of the global capacity, India is likely to boost its
refining capacity by 45 per cent or 65.3 mtpa (million tons per annum) over the next five
years, according to a Deutsche Bank report. According to the report, Indian companies
plan to increase their refining capacity to 242 mtpa by 2011-12 from about 149 mtpa in
2007.
Indian Oil Corp (IOC) plans to increase its refining capacity from 60.2 mtpa to 80
mtpa.
The two public sector undertakings, GAIL (India) Ltd and Indian Oil Corporation
Ltd (IOCL), are looking at setting up a US$ 2.09 billion petrochemical plant at
Barauni, which would be of a minimum 3 lakhs tonnes capacity.
ONGC plans to scale up its refining capacity up to 45.5 million tonnes by 2009-
10 from about 13 mtpa in 2006.
Reliance Industries Ltd is constructing a new refinery in the Jamnagar SEZ with a
capacity of 29 mtpa, which will be operational shortly.
Nagarjuna Oil Corp is planning a new refinery at Cuddalore with a capacity of 6
mtpa to be operational by 2011 at an investment of US$ 1.05 billion.
Essar Oil plans to more than triple the capacity at its refinery at Vadinar to 34
mtpa from the current 10.5 mtpa at an investment of US$ 6 billion.
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation plans to invest US$ 2.5 billion in expanding its
Visakhapatnam refinery capacity to 16 million tonnes.
In fact, Reliance's new refinery (which will be the world's only full-export-orientedrefinery) will be the world's sixth-largest. And with the existing refinery of RIL, the
combined capacity (RPL along with RIL) will turn the Jamnagar complex into the world's
largest single-location refinery.

Retail Sector
The surge in automobile sales has led to significant investments being made to
develop and expand the petroleum retail market. According to US-based consultancy
Keystone, automobile sales which number about a million vehicles is likely to grow to
about 20 million a year by 2030, making India, the third largest automobile market in the
world.
Consequently, many companies have stepped up investments to expand their
retail network. For example, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum
Corporation (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) together are planning
to open over 3,000 retail outlets this financial year as against 2,000 outlets opened last
year. Similarly, Reliance plans to build 6,000 services stations.
Gas
Gas demand in India is dominated by the power and fertilizer sectors which
account for 66 per cent of the current consumption. In 2006, the total gas demand was
estimated to be 152 million standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD). The gas demand
is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6 per cent during 2007-08 to 2016-17 to reach a
level of 320 mmscmd, which is more than double the existing demand, according to a
report by Ernst & Young titled 'Indian Natural Gas Sector'. Significantly, the share of
natural gas in the overall fuel mix is expected to increase from 8 per cent in 2006 to 20
per cent by 2025.
Encouraged by this scenario, a number of players have evinced a keen interest in
laying pipelines in the domestic market to supply gas to the consumers. For example,
Gujarat State Petronet Ltd plans to connect all 25 districts of the state with 2,200-
kilometre high pressure gas pipeline laid down across the state. Reliance Industries plans
to invest between US$ 5.45 billion to US$ 6.54 billion over the next three years to lay a
10,000 km pipeline grid that covers main gas transport trunk lines supplemented by spur
lines crisscrossing the country.

Government Initiatives
The government has been taking many progressive measures to create conducive
policy and regulatory framework to attract investments into this industry.
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Bill, 2005 was passed by the
Parliament in 2006. The bill envisages setting up of an independent regulatory
mechanism with the objective of regulating the refining, processing, storage,
transportation, distribution, marketing and sale of petroleum production and
natural gas.
Allowing 100 per cent FDI in private refineries through automatic route and 26
per cent in government-owned refineries.
Implementation of the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) in 1997.
Abolition of the administered pricing policy.
100 per cent FDI is also allowed in petroleum products, exploration, gas pipelines
and marketing/retail through the automatic route.
The first mega oil, chemical and petrochemical investment hub is slated to come up at
Andhra Pradesh, and is expected to attract a whopping investment of US$ 86 billion.
Mittal Energy Investments, Total SA of France and oil refining and marketing major,
Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL), along with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC) are some of the companies making an investment in the proposed petroleum,
chemical and petrochemical investment region (PCPIR). A similar PCPIR is likely to
come up at Bharuch in Gujarat.
Road Ahead
An expanding economy with its concomitant increase in energy demand is likely
to throw open huge investment opportunities in the oil and gas industry. According to a
CII-KPMG report"India Energy Inc. - Emerging Opportunities & Challenges"India's
energy sector would provide investment avenues worth US$ 120 billion-150 billion over
the next five years.

Background and History
1947 - 1960
During the pre-independence period, the Assam Oil Company in the northeastern
and Attock Oil company in northwestern part of the undivided India were the only oil
companies producing oil in the country, with minimal exploration input. The major part
of Indian sedimentary basins was deemed to be unfit for development of oil and gas
resources.
After independence, the national Government realized the importance oil and gas
for rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently, while
framing the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry
in the country was considered to be of utmost necessity.
Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried out exploration of hydrocarbon
resources of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was producing oil at Digboi
(discovered in 1889) and the Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture between Government of
India and Burma Oil Company) was engaged in developing two newly discovered large
fields Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam. In West Bengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum
project (a joint venture between Government of India and Standard Vacuum Oil
Company of USA) was engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentary tract in other
parts of India and adjoining offshore remained largely unexplored.
In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the
various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development. With this
objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was set up towards the end of 1955, as a
subordinate office under the then Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research.The department was constituted with a nucleus of geoscientists from the Geological
survey of India.
A delegation under the leadership of Mr. K D Malviya, the then Minister of
Natural Resources, visited several European countries to study the status of oil industry in
13
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
14/66
those countries and to facilitate the training of Indian professionals for exploring potential
oil and gas reserves. Foreign experts from USA, West Germany, Romania and erstwhile
U.S.S.R visited India and helped the government with their expertise. Finally, the visiting
Soviet experts drew up a detailed plan for geological and geophysical surveys and
drilling operations to be carried out in the 2nd Five Year Plan (1956-57 to 1960-61).
In April 1956, the Government of India adopted the Industrial Policy Resolution,
which placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A' industries, the future
development of which was to be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the state.
Soon, after the formation of the Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, it became
apparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with its limited financial and
administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government, to function efficiently.
So in August, 1956, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with
enhanced powers, although it continued to be under the government. In October 1959, the
Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the Indian Parliament,
which enhanced powers of the commission further. The main functions of the Oil and
Natural Gas Commission subject to the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote,
organize and implement programmes for development of Petroleum Resources and the
production and sale of petroleum and petroleum products produced by it, and to perform
such other functions as the Central Government may, from time to time, assign to it ".
The act further outlined the activities and steps to be taken by ONGC in fulfilling its
mandate.
1961 - 1990
Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming the country's
limited upstream sector into a large viable playing field, with its activities spread
throughout India and significantly in overseas territories. In the inland areas, ONGC not
only found new resources in Assam but also established new oil province in Cambay
basin (Gujarat), while adding new petroliferous areas in the Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and
East coast basins (both inland and offshore).
14
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
15/66
ONGC went offshore in early 70's and discovered a giant oil field in the form of
Bombay High, now known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along with subsequent
discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western offshore changed the oil scenario of the
country. Subsequently, over 5 billion tonnes of hydrocarbons, which were present in the
country, were discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC, however, is its
self-reliance and development of core competence in E&P activities at a globally
competitive level.
After 1990
The liberalized economic policy, adopted by the Government of India in July
1991, sought to deregulate and de-license the core sectors (including petroleum sector)
with partial disinvestments of government equity in Public Sector Undertakings and other
measures. As a consequence thereof, ONGC was re-organized as a limited Company
under the Company's Act, 1956 in February 1994. After the conversion of business of the
erstwhile Oil & Natural Gas Commission to that of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
Limited in 1993, the Government disinvested 2 per cent of its shares through competitive
bidding. Subsequently, ONGC expanded its equity by another 2 per cent by offering
shares to its employees.
During March 1999, ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) - a downstream giant
and Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) - the only gas marketing company, agreed to
have cross holding in each other's stock. This paved the way for long-term strategic
alliances both for the domestic and overseas business opportunities in the energy value
chain, amongst themselves. Consequent to this the Government sold off 10 per cent of its
share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5 per cent to GAIL. With this, the Government
holding in ONGC came down to 84.11 per cent.
In the year 2002-03, after taking over MRPL from the A V Birla Group, ONGC
diversified into the downstream sector. ONGC will soon be entering into the retailing
business. ONGC has also entered the global field through its subsidiary, ONGC Videsh
15

Ltd. (OVL). ONGC has made major investments in Vietnam, Sakhalin and Sudan and
earned its first hydrocarbon revenue from its investment in Vietnam.

Chapter 3
Introduction to Corporate Social Responsibility
Definitions of social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is:
An obligation, beyond that required by the law and economics, for a firm
to pursue long term goals that are good for society
The continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and
contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of
the workforce and their families as well as that of the local community and
society at large
About how a company manages its business process to produce an overall
positive impact on society
Corporate social responsibility means:
Conducting business in an ethical way and in the interests of the wider
community.
Responding positively to emerging societal priorities and expectations
A willingness to act ahead of regulatory confrontation
Balancing shareholder interests against the interests of the wider community
Being a good citizen in the community
30
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
31/66
Is CSR the same as business ethics?
There is clearly an overlap between CSR and business ethics
Both concepts concern values, objectives and decision based on something than
the pursuit of profits
And socially responsible firms must act ethically
The difference is that ethics concern individual actions which can be assessed as right
or wrong by reference to moral principles. CSR is about the organisations obligations to
all stakeholders and not just shareholders.
There are four dimensions of corporate responsibility Economic - responsibility to earn profit for owners
Legal - responsibility to comply with the law (societys codification of right and
wrong)
Ethical - not acting just for profit but doing what is right, just and fair
Voluntary and philanthropic - promoting human welfare and goodwill
Being a good corporate citizen contributing to the community and the quality of
life
The debate on social responsibility:
Not all business organisations behave in a socially responsible manner
And there are people who would argue that it is not the job of business organisations to
be concerned about social issues and problems
There are two schools of thought on this issue:
In the free market view, the job of business is to create wealth with the interests of
the shareholders as the guiding principle
The corporate social responsibility view is that business organisation should be
concerned with social issues
31
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
32/66
Free market view - a summary
The role of business is to create wealth by providing goods and services
There is one and only one social responsibility of business- to use its resources
and engage in activities designed to increase its profit so long as it stays will the
rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition, without
deception or fraud. [Milton Friedman, American economist]
Giving money away is like a self imposed tax
Managers who have been put in charge of a business have no right to give away
the money of the owners
Managers are employed to generate wealth for the shareholders - not give it away
Free markets and capitalism have been at the centre of economic and social
development
Improvements in health and longevity have been made possible by economies
driven by the free market
To attract quality workers it is necessary to offer better pay and conditions and
this leads to a rise in standards of living and wealth creation
Free markets contribute to the effective management of scarce resources
It is true that at times the market fails and therefore some regulation is necessary
to redress the balance
But the correcting of market failures is a matter for government - not business
Regulation should be kept to a minimum since regulation stifles initiative and
creates barrier to market entry
The free market case against corporate social responsibility
The only social responsibility of business is to create shareholder wealth
The efficient use of resources will be reduced if businesses are restricted in how
they can produce
The pursuit of social goals dilutes businesses primary purpose
Corporate management cannot decide what is in the social interest
32
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
33/66
Costs will be passed on to consumers
It reduces economic efficiency and profit
Directors have a legal obligation to manage the company in the interest of
shareholders and not for other stakeholders
CSR behaviour imposes additional costs which reduce competitiveness
CSR places unwelcome responsibilities on businesses rather than on government
or individuals
The corporate responsibility view
Businesses do not have an unquestioned right to operate in society
Those managing business should recognise that they depend on society
Business relies on inputs from society and on socially created institutions
There is a social contract between business and society involving mutual
obligations that society and business recognise that they have to each other
Stakeholder theory
The basic premise is that business organisations have responsibility to various groups in
society (the internal and external stakeholders) and not just the owners/ shareholders
The responsibility includes a responsibility for the natural environment
Decisions should be taken in the wider interest and not just the narrow shareholder
interest
Arguments for socially-responsible behaviour
It is the ethical thing to do
It improves the firm public image
It is necessary in order to avoid excessive regulation
Socially responsible actions can be profitable
Improved social environment will be beneficial to the firm
It will be attractive to some investors
33
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
34/66
It can increase employee motivation
It helps to corrects social problems caused by business
Enlightened self interest
This is the practice of acting in a way that is costly and/or inconvenient at present
but which is believed to be in ones best long term interests.
There is a long history of philanthropy based on enlightened self interests e.g.
Robert Owenss New Lanark Mills, Titus Salts Saltaire as well the work of the Quaker
chocolate makers such as Cadbury at Bournville and Rowntree in York.
Enlightened self interest is summed up in this quotation from Anita Roddick (founder of
the Body Shop):Being good is good for business
CSR behaviour can benefit the firm in several ways
It aids the attraction and retention of staff
It attracts green and ethical investment
It attracts ethically conscious customers
It can lead to a reduction in costs through re-cycling
It differentiates the firm from its competitor and can be a source of competitive
advantage
It can lead to increased profitability in the long run

Chapter 4:
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT
Through an in-depth exploration of the dilemmas, challenges, and complexities
inherent to current models of corporate social responsibility, the program will push the
frontiers of the field and bring into focus the next generation of issues facing
practitioners.
Role of Public sector
Inclusive and substantive growth is two main priorities of the Public Sector
Enterprises.
CSR activities are generally carried more by the Public Sector Enterprises in
comparison with the private sector.
Public Sector Enterprises are more inclined towards social benefits rather than
making profits.
Understand the effects of strategic corporate social responsibilityits benefitsand its costs
Drive corporate social responsibility throughout the organization, integrating itwith corporate strategy, decision making, and risk assessment.
35

Reviving Heritage Craft Industries
ONGC, Chennai invited a proposal for supporting an Entrepreneurship
project from District Collector, Tiruvarur. He proposed that ONGC can provide
support to the Kurinji Women Self Help Group, Panayur Panchayat, Kottur Block,
Tiruvarur District, and Tamil Nadu. This SHG produces Coir from the locally
available coconut Fibres and marketing. Need Assessment for this initiative was
done. The area in which the project was to be undertaken was a remote backward
rural area. Most of the people were living below the poverty line. ONGC analysed
the feasibility of the project. It was observed that the raw materials required for the
coir industry were available from coconut trees in and around this area, and also,
60% of the products manufactured through this industry could be consumed locally
since there are good number of huts and cattle in this area. The women of this area
were unstintingly industrious to improve their standard of living; this was evident
from their objective of forming Self Help Group (SHG).
ONGC.s Support
Re-creating a lost heritage: Chanderi (Handloom Industry)
In the year 2004, ONGC came across a proposal from Commissioner, Handloom,
Madhya Pradesh seeking financial support for preserving the dying art of Chanderi
handloom, at Chanderi. Chanderi is a small town bordering Madhya Pradesh and Uttar
Pradesh on the banks of Betwa River. Chanderi has a population of around 30,000. With
about 3,500 looms actively working, almost 60% of this population is directly or
38
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil

indirectly dependent on the handloom business. Others make beedis (local cigarettes
using tobacco leaf) and earn dismally low wages. Chanderi textiles were patronized
initially by the Mughals in the 7th century AD. The elegance of the soft Chanderi colours
lies in their constant reference to nature. The magic is in warp and weft - taana and baana.
The silk yarn is largely imported Chinese or Korean; the cottons procured from
Coimbatore and Jaipur. Weaving is performed by one or two skilled workers of the same
family. The looms are traditional pit looms with throw shuttle. Chanderi brocades have
been the pride of Indian craft and are much appreciated within India and the world over.
The delicate fabric with intricate ethnic motifs, hand woven into the material are
available in a variety of items like saris, dress material, ladies stoles, table cloths, cushion
covers and table napkins. Objective of the project: Invasion of the business by
exploitative traders created a huge economic gap between the weavers and traders. The
weavers lacked the resources to buy and store raw material, create and circulate samples
of products besides lacking know-how about designing and market opportunities. Few
contemporary designers worked on the fabric and Chanderi lost out as a fabric for the
fashion conscious buyer. The weaving community also began to suffer as the traders and
moneylenders cornered all profits and paid very little wages. At their mercy, the weavers
were resigned to bondage. Details of selection of target population: Weavers faced
following constraints:
Diminishing demand of the handloom products- Due to lack of designs which
were not very appealing and were very
Stereotyped.
Lack of marketing support
Lack of guidance
Lack of infrastructure
Illiterate, innocent beneficiaries.
Lack of institutional buyers
Lack of new designs for the product
Lack of product innovations
Lack of modern manufacturing processes
Quality of the product going down
Lack of credit facilities(productive and consumptive)

Seasonal nature of work
In this vulnerable time, 30 odd weavers came together to form Bunkar Vikas Sanstha
(BVS), a SHG under the aegis of United Nations Industrial Development Organisation.
Weavers now had their own organisation to address their problems on long term basis in
self sustainable manner. BVS was established in 2004 as an apex body of 13 Self Help
Groups of 119 weavers of Chanderi handloom with an objective of economic and social
empowerment of the weaver community. Implementation of the project: Considering the
request from BVS appeared doubtful for acceptance by ONGC, as the village Chanderi
does not come under ONGC.s operational area. However, on careful scrutiny, it was
observed that assisting a project focused on preserving Indian heritage and
mainstreaming the poor weavers (comprising of mainly poor women from minority
community) towards sustainable development would be an ideal CSR Initiative. This was
followed by market survey and other correspondences to ascertain the sustainability of
the project. It was learnt that the hand woven fabric was gradually a dying art as mill
woven textiles had swamped the market and needed support to become self-sustainable.
ONGC joined this fledgling movement with a corpus fund. The weavers used this much
needed money to buy raw material. The weavers were exposed to exhibitions and
traditional fairs. They were the new entrepreneurs. Armed with expertise, they created
modern elegant designs and marketed the heritage art innovatively. Pranpur, another
village in neighbourhood, with about 250 functional looms approached BVS to recreate
the success story of Chanderi. To take this initiative further, ONGC supported BVS once
again with seed money for the micro-finance activities. Today 60 Self Help Groups are
engaged in microfinance activities by practicing regular savings and inter-lending to
members. This was followed up with an support to BVS for purchasing a land to establish
an Dying and R&D Centre. Extent and role of the communities: Presently there are 3000
active looms in Chanderi and women play a substantial role in the production process.
This heritage craft provides employment to 18,000 inhabitants. The traditional
woodworker still makes the looms and repairs them. Preparatory work is carried out in
the narrowest lanes with the family members pitching in. Various Government agencies
both at State and Central Level are actively involved in protection of the trade at
Chanderi.

With ONGC as their guide, BVS has begun its journey towards total empowerment.
ONGC has endeavoured to strengthen BVS as an institution and was also initiated a
brilliant concept of bulk purchasing of their produce as souvenir, gifts etc. for internal use
in ONGC.
Project Laadli
ONGC launched project Laadli along with Population First to create awareness
on Save the Girl Child campaign. A panel discussion was held with eminent
cine artistes, doctors, social workers, lawyers and journalists. This generated
immense interest and volunteers came forward to take the campaign ahead.
Weekly radio programs are now being broadcast on Asmita channel of All India
Radio, Mumbai conceptualized and developed by ONGC volunteers, A special
workshop Prayas was held to launch the radio programme for Laadli.
Village Level Enterprises
Construction of work sheds for Village Level Enterprises was another important

The Thalassemia Society of India. Kolkata, approached ONGC with a project for
providing equipment called Alisa Washer, which is used for carrying out various
pathological tests which are crucial for treatment of Thalassemia patients. The
project was taken up because Thalassemia, as we all know, is a dreaded genetic
blood disorder and is truly a social concern. Thalassemia affected patients,
particularly children, were beneficiaries. On an average about 1800 Thalassemia
affected patients will be benefited every year out of this one Alisa Washer.
Equipment provided by ONGC. Thalassemia affected patients, particularly
children, were the beneficiaries. The Thalassemia Society of India purchased and
installed the Alisa Washer instrument in the last week of January, 2008 and up to
20.03.2008, as per report received from them, about 300 blood samples of
Thalassemia affected patients mainly children have been tested. So on an average
about 1800 Thalassemia affected patients will be benefited every year out of this
one Alisa Washer equipment provided by ONGC. The Thalassemia Society of
India is located at Kolkata where all ONGC installations are presently located
including the Headquarters of CBMDP & MBA Basin. Doctors and experts from
the Society have made number of presentations and awareness campaign for the
employees of ONGC and their wards which is considered to be very helpful and
appreciated by one and all. CSR team also visited the Institute number of times
and found that the beneficiaries are mainly from the families of have-nots who
cannot afford expensive treatment of Thalassemia from private health institutions.
For poor people and slum dwellers of Kolkata, this Society is doing yeomans
service in the field of eradication of a disease, which is affecting large number of
people of the society. Working of this particular organization and also that of
some other similar organizations are being closely monitored by ONGC so that
the maximum benefit reaches the marginalised.
ONGC as an organization has partnered an initiative with its retired employees at
Dehradun to render service to the poorest of poor and needy. The retired
employees formed the Life Care Society an NGO meant for serving the under-
privileged by reaching out to the people in the hinterland of Uttarakhand. The
Society owes its birth to ONGC and weekly medical camps organized for the
43

needy. Every village has been given a doctor, who is plying a very significant
role by treating patients with different kinds of ailments pertaining to eye, dental
and other chronic ailments. Pondha, Bansiwala, Karbari and Sherpur are some of
the villages where the Society is working pro-actively. ONGC has been very
supportive to Life Care Society since its inception. Not only does ONGC provide
financial aids but also the entire infrastructure of ONGC is made available to Life

Roorkee School for the Deaf
It is the first school for the deaf in India located on the campus of a hi-tech
institute. IIT Roorkee and managed by its faculty and experts. The school has an
excellent tam of highly qualified, trained and dedicated teachers. Some of whom
have been trained in the best of the training institutes in India and abroad. The school
for the Deaf is run and managed by IIT Roorkee. Mostly the faculty members of IIT
Roorkee are the members of the management committee and at the same time are
rendering their services voluntarily to run the school as a community supported
model wherein donations from individuals and organizations in both cash and kind
mainly to meet the expanses of the school. ONGC impressed and inspired by the
voluntary services of the faculty members decided to support this noble initiative of
IIT Roorkee by extending a grant. The school is trying to educate and trained the
deaf children of Roorkee and several other villages / town around Roorkee. They are
trying to train them in all the independent living skills which they require to lead a

Mobile Blood Donation Van
Support from ONGC has been sought for a fully equipped mobile blood donation
van with the purpose of the blood bank reaching the donors rather than donors going
towards them. Rotary Club in Delhi has set up a state-of-the-art voluntary blood bank
at a cost of Rs. 6.0 crores to provide safe blood to the needy people at a meagre
processing charge. The blood bank is housed in a five story centrally air conditioned
building providing nearly 55000 units of blood every year. The Rotary Club earlier
had a mobile van for blood donation and has been utilizing the existing van
extensively by organizing a number of blood donation camps. Till date more than
320 blood donation camps in and around Delhi have been organised. The present
vehicle, which was acquired six years ago has been rendered unserviceable, hence,
the request for a new vehicle has been received by ONGC. As ONGC focuses on
healthcare under its CSR, it has been supporting a number of hospitals, mobile vans,
primary health centres and medical camps. ONGC decided to collaborate with
Rotary, which is a reputed organization and they are rendering yeomen services to
the marginalized by providing the blood to the poor and needy at a meagre
processing charge. Hence, ONGC felt it appropriate to provide this equipped vehicle
for helping them to collect blood from various donors by reaching them directly at
their place of their stay.
Shraddha Rehabilitation Foundation is an NGO dealing with the problem of the
mentally ill Road side destitute. Shraddha is a humane experiment, perhaps the

innovative psychosocial intervention and occupational engagement. ONGC has
supported this project by providing 100 beds to the mentally ill road-side destitute
so as to provide some comfort to these destitute along with a Diesel Generator for
use during power cuts. At present there are about 60-65 destitute in the
rehabilitation centre, it is understood that in the city of Mumbai there are around
500 such road-side destitute aimlessly roaming in the metropolis of Mumbai.
Such a project can help the society and the nation at large. Shraddha
Rehabilitation Foundation is an NGO dealing with the problem of the mentally ill
roadside destitute. ONGC has supported this project by providing 100 beds to the
mentally ill road-side destitute so as to provide some comforts to these destitute
along with Diesel Generator for use during power cuts.
Health care being one of ONGCs areas of concern, it has supported a major
initiative taken to fight cancer. Silchar, located in Southern part of Assam state
and surrounded by Mizoram, Tripura, parts of Manipur and Meghalaya in the
North Eastern Region of India has been also on the World map for its inhabitants
being susceptible to the dreaded disease cancer. The unfortunate people of this
region who get afflicted by cancer can hardly afford to avail the treatment at
Delhi, Mumbai, Vellore and other metro cities of the country. In the light of
above problems, a group of social activists drawn from diverse professions
formed the Cachar Cancer Hospital Society in 1992, and approached ONGC for
financial assistance for procurement and installations of CT Scan Machine in the
hospital.
Dedicated to the mission of the restoring eye sight for the poor and the
marginalized, Anugraha Drishtidaan ha been offering its services regularly for the

Union Territory of Pondicherry. The nearest well-equipped Hospital is 300 km away
from Karaikal. Due to poverty, the polio affected persons and accident victims arenot able to get artificial limbs. Many NGOs/Voluntary Organisations conduct regular
Health Camps and Eye Camps. However, it was noticed by the Asset that no NGOs/
Voluntary Organisations came forward to conduct the Artificial Limb camp, as it
requires professional expertise from places like Jaipur and the project involves huge
expenditure. Hence, ONGC took up the challenges of organising a specific camp to

Teaching an individual to make bread and not giving him bread, is part of our
CSR policy. In line with this, ONGC very pro-actively is associated with Nanhi Kali
which was incepted in 1996 by the KC Mahindra Education Trust and has been
successful in reaching out to 28000 beneficiaries so far. Recently, KC Mahindra
Education Trust has partner with Nanhi Foundation to jointly manage Nanhi Kali. Nanhi
Kali was incepted to empower women by educating them. The realization that girls
constitute more than 3/5th of total out of school, primary school age population in the
world has got the issue of girls. Education to the fore at national and international front.
Female children are generally neglected and exploited at an early age. It is only through
education that the girl child can arm herself to the independent and self-reliant. Scope of
the project: Nanhi is working with communities in the following states in India: Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Andaman & Nicobar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and
Maharashtra.
Empowerment of women is possible only by focusing on participation of boys and

Environment Protection Programmes
Companys Environment Management System is based on the precautionary
principle. Various significant environmental issues have been identified and
actions have been initiated based on the management hierarchy of preventing
pollution at source, recycling & reuse of waste, treatment and disposal of the
waste. Various notable efforts done in this direction are as follows:
ONGC recognizes and shares the concerns of government and the public about
climate change. We understand that fossil fuels, which we also produce, has
contributed to an increase in Green House Gases (GHGs). Hence, ONGC has
embarked upon ambitious initiatives to manage and reduce GHG emissions,
which may be broadly classified into the following categories:
Reporting of GHG emissions Energy efficiency / conservation plans
Gas Flaring reduction
Renewable energy
For these ONGC has specially formed the following groups for the dedicated
efforts, close monitoring and deliverance of results
Carbon Management Group
Energy Centre for search in non-conventional energy sources
Health Safety and Environment Group
GHG emissions reporting
52
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
53/66
ONGC is committed to consistent reporting of GHG emissions. We have
calculated direct GHG emissions related to our operations starting from
the year 2003 till date.
We are following the Compendium of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Estimations Methodologies for Oil and Gas Industry developed byAmerican Petroleum Institute (API).
In our oil and gas operations, business growth increases our GHG
emission and we are continuing to work for emissions reduction in total to
offset the impact of these emissions.
Carbon dioxide makes up most of our GHG emissions (to the extent of 55-
57%) and it comes predominantly from our processing operations,
including exhaust from combustion units and flares. Our GHG reporting
includes direct emissions associated with the drilling, production and
processing of oil & gas and indirect emission from purchased grid
electricity for use in our operations.
Expanding green cover
Plantation of varieties of species of plants provides cleaner air apart from
maintaining biodiversity and providing aesthetic environment. Tree plantation in
ONGC is carried out by selecting trees as per bio-geo- climatic conditions of the area
to ensure desirable rate of survival. Every year ONGC sets a target of planting trees
and monitors the progress. In the year 2006, ONGC has planted 33030 trees in and
around our working area. Apart from yearly target of tree plantation around our
working area, we take up specific big projects. A recent example is the Dronagiri.
Projects which were aimed at greening of the barren Dronagiri hills and arid beach
near Uran Plant of ONGC. It posed a challenge to the organisation because of a harsh
terrain devoid of vegetation and showed resilience when we commenced our
53
8/8/2019 ONGC CSR Final Nikhil
54/66
operations. While improving capacities of our plant we have demonstrated our
commitment to the environment in intent and execution. Seeds of fast growing
species were served along with fertilizer across the Dronagiri Mountains from the
helicopters in collaboration with Department of Forests, Government of India. Over
2.5 lakhs fully grown trees and 20 varieties of plant species make Dronagiri hills
completely green. More than a quarter million trees support the industrial ecosystem.
The once barren Dronagiri today is a nature trail to an environmental friendly
mindset. Years of concerted efforts in forestation have resulted in a verdant green
cover that adorns the landscapes surrounding the plant and nearby villages. A
steadily growing green belt along the beach has erected a protection against erosion
and is a virtual oasis for the stunning backdrop.
Renewable energy
In order to meet the worlds growing need for energy, we believe all potential
sources must be considered. New technologies and renewable energy sources,
including conservation related technology. ONGC has made headway in using solar
power at various platforms for powering its entire ITC infrastructure. During the year
2003-04 we have generated 112 MWh of power using solar photovoltaic, avoiding
use of fossil fuels. ONGC has also taken initiatives for setting up two wind power
projects of 50 MW each in Gujarat with help from Suzlon Energy Ltd. and
Karnataka. Power in Gujarat will be used in house and in Karnataka it will be sold.
On 31st March, 2008, first unit of clean and green energy as generated by ONGC by
fully commissioning three wind turbines of 1.5 MW capacities each. The power
generated by this wind farm in 1st phase will have captive usage at installations of
Ankleshwar and Ahmedabad. Apart from above, ONGC.s other initiatives in this
direction are:
