Our Strategy

 To bring various stakeholders engaged in national development and progress on a common platform
for discussion and deliberations in order to evolve strategies for actual “grass-roots” progress and to
ensure a better tomorrow.
 Conducting: Workshops / Seminars / Symposia / Lecture Series / Conferences to Popularize Cutting-
edge Technologies / Techniques and their adoption for practical utilization.
 To carry forward the momentum thus generated through advocacy for policy changes and Legislative
measures wherever required.
 To connect all the Universities / Institutions in India through the alumni network.
 To provide structured implementable model for execution of activities at the district level, so that
others can also learn, sparkle and extrapolate these activities in their own ways at various levels. In a
nutshell, we are looking at Sustainability → Replicability → Scalability.
 A Continual Model for implementation of activities / programmes as per the thrust area of company
and Need Based Assessment (NBA) in the individual area / district.
Corporate Environment and Social Responsibility (CESR)

 CESR goes beyond mere mandatory compliances and engages in activities that would ensure
community development.
 In the present era, linkage between industry, environment and society should be further
strengthened.
 At the global arena, the performance of businesses is increasingly being measured on “triple
bottom line” approach, which appraises the performance of businesses using social,
economic (or financial) and environmental metrics.
 SEARCH Foundation has been actively engaged in carrying out various social development
and environmental activities and is now evolving Nodal Centres on Environment and Social
Management as a part of CESR initiative, under the concept of “Janma Bhoomi - Karma
Bhoomi”.
CONCEPT : Janma Bhoomi - Karma Bhoomi

This concept essentially implies that we


shall strive to repay our onus towards
“Janma Bhoomi”, to which we owe our
existence through the resources we attain
through our “Karma Bhoomi”.

It is a common observation that at our work place ‘Karma Bhoomi’ we


get recognition on our own, but on the other hand at our birth place
‘Janma Bhoomi’ we get recognized through our parents.
“Janma Bhoomi - Karma Bhoomi” will provide a platform to salute
one’s parents / motherland.
