QUALITY PLEDGE
(For SCCL Employees only for its use during the annual
quality assurance week)
We solemnly take oath that we make our best efforts and
strive hard to produce qualitative coal by segregating it
from clay, stone, shale etc.., in a cost effective manner.
We are happy to share our responsibility in qualitative
coal production and dispatch to the best satisfaction of
the customers in the national interest.
We trust that this pledge is a first step in our quality
march, which finally results in the over all development of
us, as individuals, as a company and finally our
motherland.
