In addition to offering solutions for the environment engineering problems, our company also take up social development projects with the motive of benefitting the society in terms of Waste Management, Social Impact Assessment, Resettlement and Rehabilitation and many more. We encourage civil society participation in the project in order to provide equal opportunities in the decision-making process and project implementation for achieving improved quality of life.
We have executed numerous social development projects in India as well as in various other countries in Africa, Asia and South America. Our projects involve assessment of the socio-economic and cultural status of the society including education, livelihood, income, health and safety, status of indigenous people etc., both at local and country level.
We put our best efforts to educate, raise awareness and sensitise the local community about the benefits of the project, as well as assist them in the physical and economic resettlements, if they are disturbed by the project. Additionally, it is of utmost importance to guarantee the society’s health and safety while the project is being carried out, as well as to address any complaints or grievances made by the public.
