A Life Time of Learning for DLF Scholars!

Summer Workshop-2013

EDITORIAL

From the Editor's DeskChildren develop as they grow and learn new complex

skills. Development is holistic only when the child gets

the same in all aspects like physical, intellectual,

emotional and social aspects. We, at DLF Foundation,

believe that every child has a potential that needs to

be tapped.

As part of its ‘Skill a Million’ Programme, DLF

Foundation has launched its 26th centre - the DLF DB

Tech Skill Centre in Dhanauran, Mullanpur. This centre

will offer short-term courses in IT enabled-services,

Sales & Retail and will facilitate their employment with

national service brands.

Our Village Cluster Development programme is also

providing quality based, affordable and accessible

Primary Health Care Services to the rural community.

The fact that almost 2000 patients availed these

facilities is the last two months alone, shows that it is

well received by the rural community.

As a disaster response initiative, DLF Group has risen

to the need of the hour by contributing whole-

heartedly towards the Relief and Rehabilitation work

for the Uttarakhand flood victims.

We will continue to update you on all these CSR

activities we undertake and would look forward to

your suggestions on the same.

Happy reading!

Under the aegis of DLF Cares - Talent

Nurturing Programme, the first annual Summer

Workshop was organised for the DLF scholars.

DISASTER RESPONSE INITIATIVE

ttarakhand today stands totally devastated by floods of

an unprecedented kind in the recent history of the

nation. The havoc created with possibly thousands of Upeople losing their lives, will take a long time to heal.

Amidst this national tragedy, the DLF Group has risen to the need

of the hour by contributing towards the Relief and Rehabilitation

work. It is heartwarming to note that all our DLF employees have

voluntarily contributed their one day's Basic salary towards the

relief effort

alongwith a matching grant from the organization which has been

donated to the PM Relief Fund.

We did not stop at this alone and decided to directly intervene in

the affected areas by dispatching medical teams to the region.

DLF Foundation along with the Food Bank and CRDN also sent

many truckloads of food, medicines and relief material to the

flood hit areas. Some of our employees volunteered to help in the

relief work

and joined

the Re l ief

efforts there. A team under the leadership of Mr. Dhiraj Singha

coordinated the distribution of food and relief material and

supervised the Medical camps established by DLF Foundation in

some of the worst hit areas in Uttarkashi and Rudraprayag

sectors. A large number of victims covering 16 villages were

treated and provided free medicines. The Foundation will

continue to consistently support the relief and rehabilitation

work in the region.
