onmental responsibility are of
equal importance as financial responsibility – what is today called the “ Triple
Bottom Line”.
Rahabilitation and resettlement of people getting displaced by large
projects have not been dealt well within the country so far. Industry is as much
responsible for protecting and improving the quality of life of the project affected
people. ‘Tata Parivar’ has its foundation in this philosophy.
Q2. What exactly do you mean by adopting them for life? If you
could throw some light on Tata Steel new programme for the displaced people in these areas
?
Ans. Each displaced family will be called Tata Parivar’. They are
part of our family. We commit to improve their quality of life. Those who have the
requisite qualification will be employed by us. Those who can be trained will be trained
by us to make them employable. Some will get help to gain self-employment. We will monitor
each family’s income at regular intervals and ensure that their income level goes up
after displacement from their original land / home.
Q3. Will it be part of Tata Parivar programme or a completely
separate programme altogether ?
Ans. We have done this in our other project.
The ‘Tata Parivar’ scheme is an extension
of what we have always been doing, with a more focused
attention on on each family.
