Rural health, hygiene, and
sanitisation

The quality of life in our communities can be improved only when people have access to basic necessities like drinking water, education, healthcare etc. In addition to creating awareness amongst the community members about the need to adopt hygienic practices, we also provide them with the infrastructure to avail clean drinking water, adequate medical facilities, and sanitisation.

We installed a borewell at the Government Secondary School, District Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, to address their problem of water shortage. Community Awareness Programmes on personal hygiene were conducted for Government Higher Secondary School students, Senjeriputhur. It was attended by 162 students from Classes 6 to 10.

Women empowerment

Half of our population consists of women. Historically, they have lost out on opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities limited by societal constraints. We believe no society can move ahead if its women are not given the opportunities they deserve. This is why we use our CSR platform to improve the self-confidence of women in the communities around us. We run health awareness programmes for women regularly so that they can take care of themselves and their families.

Livelihood

We aim to make positive interventions that can enhance the employability and productivity of the communities around us so they have access to livelihood opportunities and live with dignity. For most of the Continuum Green Energy locations, we are surrounded by agrarian communities. Our CSR efforts are focused on improving agricultural yields and livelihoods. We run community training programmes by experienced agriculturists on best practices in sowing, tilling, use of fertilisers, crop and animal disease control and efficient and environment - friendly harvesting techniques. We regularly donate equipment so that the farmers can make better use of their time and generate better revenue from their land parcels. We has conducted awareness camps for rural cultivators where we discussed fodder crop cultivation and the use of Rabi wheat jointly with agricultural scientists from Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Ratlam.

Education

A society moves ahead only when its children can develop themselves to adequately make their place in the world. At Continuum Green Energy, we strive to provide everything that children might need for a conducive learning environment. We have made various contributions to further educational opportunities and impact for children of communities around our operations in the current year. We provided desks and benches for classrooms of two schools - Ramakrishna Mission Students Home, Chennai and Government Secondary School, Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh.

For the school in Chennai, we also gave a surface grinding machine to the school so that the physical infrastructure could be improved to provide an energising space for children. Students in Government Higher Secondary School, Senjeriputhur, underwent awareness programmes on the benefits of windmills to understand how we use wind energy for power generation responsibly. These programmes lay the ground for the next generation to adopt and perhaps, improve the country’s capacity to produce renewable energy in times to come. Additionally, we trained the children in life skills through a firefighting session.

Rural infrastructure

The communal facilities used by all the villagers in a particular area need to be in good shape so that the residents can feel a sense of ownership and pride. We made several interventions to give the village near our operations a new look and facilities. In areas with water scarcity, we installed borewells so that basic water needs could be met. Several existing roads in the village were given a facelift and many new ones were constructed by us. The facilities for the common use of the villagers, like temples and community centres, were also upgraded.
