BHEL celebrates Bal Diwas

BHEL celebrated ‘Bal Diwas’, the Birth Anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru at its Corporate Office in New Delhi, where Mr. B. Prasada Rao, CMD garlanded the bust of Pandit Nehru, in the presence of the functional Directors on the Board of BHEL. Thereafter, as part of BHEL’s CSR initiatives, 50 chairs and desks were donated to the children of Little Angels School, Mahavir Enclave, J.J.Colony, New Delhi, being run by an NGO - Rural Education Welfare Society.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rao said that the slowdown in our business is a temporary phase and it should not dampen our spirits at all. Rather it should strengthen our resolve and that of the entire manufacturing sector to step up production so that the country achieves the desired level of growth. The country’s growth in turn would propel the aspirations/expectations of our young children as lot of opportunities would come their way and they would be nurtured to become responsible citizens of this great country. He congratulated the children, staff and teachers of Little Angels School and wished them the very best in their efforts to wholeheartedly contribute to nation building.

It has been BHEL’s endeavour always to act as a responsible corporate citizen committed to working for welfare of the society through inclusive growth aimed at capacity building, empowerment of communities, environment protection, development of backward regions, and upliftment of the marginalized and under-privileged sections of the society. In line with this commitment, the company supports various social initiatives across the country by undertaking projects in diversified areas like Education, Community Development, Health, Environment Enrichment, Vocational Training, Skill Development, Disaster/Calamity Management and Infrastructure Development.
