COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (SO1) -
Corporate initiatives
Civic Services

In line with it’s commitment to develop and maintain the city of Jamshedpur where more than 75% of the population are not employees of the Company, Tata Steel endeavoured to address the most critical of civic amenities, water, to further improve the quality of life of the residents of Jamshedpur and adjoining non-lease areas. It set up a mega water supply project under which filtered water facilities were extended to the residents of Ullyan and Bhatia Bustee. This 32 km pipeline network is a unique concept in Citizen-Private Partnership model benefiting more than 20,000 residents. Tata Steel also set up 116 tube wells benefiting 1800 households in the nearby rural communities and has conducted extensive awareness campaigns for saving and optimizing usage of water and also the use of water harvesting practices amongst the public. The Sukinda Chromite Mines, in Orissa, saw the completion of its ‘Operation BIJLI’, a special project which has facilitated the supply of electricity to 20 villages under four gram panchayats, by the construction of an electrical sub station. TSRDS activities in and around Jamshedpur are given in Table 6.9.
