CSR activities:
At GAIL, we believe that corporate responsibilities go beyond the financial, to non-financial
areas such as community development and nation building. Conducting business responsibly is
central to our philosophy. Community improvement, undertaken in consultation with local
groups (Gram Panchayats, Revenue Offices, Collectors, State or District authorities, school
teachers and principals), is an integral part of all our corporate activities. As a national company,
we have given CSR its due importance with the creation of a portfolio dedicated to funding and
helping various social causes and working towards strengthening the relationship between the
Government and citizens. We also support solutions for rural development and for reducing
socio-economic disparities.
We have committed 1% of the company's net Profit after Tax (PAT) of the previous financial year
to CSR programmes. These are spread across three levels National, Zonal and Work Centre.
Whereas the National and Zonal programmes are executed by the Corporate or Zonal Offices, the
Work Centre programmes are carried out at the Work Centre itself, and are allocated 75% of the
overall CSR budget. Our social welfare programmes come under the Special Component Plan
(SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TCP) of the Government of India.
GAIL is one of the few companies that has fulfilled the reservation target for employment to
Scheduled Castes / Scheduled Tribes and physically challenged persons. The major areas that we
work in deals with raising awareness levels and enacting efficient measures to help empower
India's physically challenged.
We evaluate our performance by the triple bottom line - social, environmental, and financial
success. Thus, we catalyse initiatives aimed at sustainable development even as we continue to
grow and reward investors' the community. Today, sustainability is a buzzword with every
corporate contributing to some cause or the other. But for sustenance, the transparency of the
project and the genuineness of the executors are equally important.
At GAIL, Corporate Social Responsibility is :
"Continuing commitment for operating our core businesses in a socially responsible way,
complemented by investment in communities, so as to produce an overall positive impact on
society".

Looking Ahead
We are aware that, in addition to delivering good business performance, there is a social purpose
of being in business. The purpose gets fulfilled by helping the society that we are a part of. We
plan to add momentum to our Corporate Social Responsibility programme by initiating new
activities such as the setting up of Air Pollution Related Disease (APRDC) diagnostic Centres in
more locations. We would also provide ambulances that will serve as mobile health clinics in the
deep interiors of rural areas. It is heartening to note that with a lot more thought, involvement
and planning, the wheels of corporate social consciousness are now turning efficiently.
Our other programmes will continue unabated, touching lives and changing destinies. We will
continue to
1. Empower village women giving them vocational training so that they become economically
independent and self-reliant
2. Check and stop dams
3. Adopt villages
4. Distribute insecticides to control diseases
5. Install waste bins in prominent public places
6. Promote plastic waste-modified bitumen for road carpeting
7. Conduct health camps
8. Promote legal awareness and adult education
9. Award scholarships to underprivileged children belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled tribes and
Other Backward Castes, so that they can continue with their education
