 Corporate social responsibility
 
 Its yet another year and time to report on the initiatives on the CSR
 front. While the existing projects are going on well, scaling up their
 targets, the highlights of the year gone by have been the following.
 
 - TCI Foundations (TCIF) tie-up with JHARCRAFT resulting in Women from
 our target areas moving towards empowerment leading to enhanced self
 esteem, confidence and discovering/rediscovering themselves.
 
 - TCIFs collaboration with NIIT Foundation to train the girls and
 women from the villages in Khunti District of Jharkhand in Information
 Technology.
 
 - The leadership role played by TCI to get the Transport Systems and
 Management course revised and changed to the needs and demands of the
 market. TCI is closely working and supporting CBSE in this endeavor.
 
 Vocational Training Center
 
 Last year in February 2010, TCIF had started a vocational training
 center in its school campus. The intent behind starting the center was
 to facilitate the communities in the tribal belt to learn new skills,
 upgrade the existing ones and also to provide a common forum for social
 mobilization leading towards empowerment. We are providing training in
 sewing, computers and beauty culture. We have had a good response from
 women and girls to the programmes started in the year 2009-10.
 
 TCIFs tie up with Jharkhand Silk Textile & Handicraft Development
 Corporation Ltd, (JHARCRAFT)
 
 TCIF with the help of JHARCRAFT, a Government of Jharkhand undertaking,
 has started a training programme for our women trainees in handloom
 weaving. The women would be receiving a monthly stipend of about Rs.
 2000-2500 depending upon the days they log in from JHARCRAFT.
 
 The center has been established in a building that is owned by the
 local people in Jhamhar village. The first batch of 16 women have
 finished their three months training. The first lot of stipend has been
 received for 16 students. A cheque of Rs. 31,860 has been received for
 the first month. An account in the name of TCIF Womens Self Help Group
 has been opened in one of the local banks there.
 
 Every trainee will be awarded one loom at the end of the 3 month
 training
 
 At the end of the three months, all the trainees would be given one
 loom each that would be installed in their own homes. This is being
 done to encourage women entrepreneurship and is also a step towards
 revival of traditional crafts. The women would also be given raw
 materials and they can work at home and the finished products would be
 collected from them after being paid for their labor.
 
 This initiative would indeed be impacting very hugely on the women and
 would lead towards their empowerment. Women who have hitherto been on
 the fringes of their families with low self esteem have been
 facilitated to come out of their homes, obtain skills leading to
 employability which would ultimately lead to their gaining more
 confidence and discovering /rediscovering themselves.
 
 Tie up with NIIT Foundation
 
 TCIF entered into an MoU with NIIT Foundation to support us in running
 the IT course. The support will be in the form of the following
 
 - Providing accreditation to the IT course being taught in the
 Vocational Training Center
 
 - Provide the content
 
 - Train and certify the resource persons
 
 - Students upon completion of the course would be presented
 certification by NIIT Foundation
 
 This tie up is expected to add value to the course and help the
 students to upgrade their skills further and improve their
 employability in the job market.
 
 TCIF and CBSE collaborate to revise the TS&M course in the Plus 2 grade
 
 TCI wants that the CBSE approved course in Transport System and
 Management (TS&M) is revised to meet the present requirements of the
 Logistics industry. TCI has been facilitating CBSE to take this
 initiative forward. A committee has already been formed and work in
 this direction is in progress.
 
 Artificial Limb Center
 
 TCIF started an artificial limb center namely TCI Jaipur Foot and
 Rehabilitation Center” situated in Patna in May 2008.This was done in
 collaboration with Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sewa Samiti (BMVSS) in
 Jaipur. It provides artificial limbs, crutches and calipers to the
 poor, free of cost.
 
 Camps in various districts of Bihar have been organized in
 collaboration with the local NGOs and to reach out to the un- reached
 and provide treatment and support to the patients. A few organizations
 from overseas as well have shown interest in our work nationally
 decorated doctors whose services are widely acknowledged and recognized
 are on the centers panel. They provide free consultancy services to
 the patients twice a week.
 
 TCI DAV Public School
 
 TCI started a school in year 2005 in Gobindpur in Khunti district of
 Jharkhand state. The main objective behind opening the school was to
 provide and reach quality education in remote areas, which have low or
 no accessibility to quality education. The school is being run by DAV
 College Managing Committee.
 
 Dispensaries
 
 The two dispensaries one each in Coimbatore and Portblair are catering
 to the nearby villages around them. Basic services are provided free of
 cost.
 
 HIV/AIDS Awareness Programme
 
 TCIF runs KAVACH, an awareness programme on HIV/AIDS for the long
 distance truckers. The programme had focused interventions in 15
 largest impact locations on the major routes along the national
 highways inspired by the programming approach of Kavach in arresting
 the spread of HIV among the vulnerable population.
 
 Impact of the programme
 
 - HIV prevalence amongst LDTS was contained from 3.5% to 2.2%
 
 - STI has gone down considerably
 
 - Condom usage with paid partners has increased from 72% to 77% while
 at the same time consistent Condom usage with non paid partners has
 doubled from 19% to 34 % during this period
 
 - In 2007, KAVACH reached out to 8.3% of our target group which
 increased to 30% in 2009
 
 National AIDS Control Organisation has contracted TCIF as the Technical
 Support Group (TSG) to the truckers programme for mainstreaming and
 scaling up the truckers intervention to the national HIV prevention
 programme (NACP-111).
 
 TCIs Workplace programme
 
 TCI is one of the few Corporates in India with a well defined workplace
 policy on HIV/AIDS. The policy was adopted in 2005 and was revised in
