Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) |

Since its inception, OGDCL has always given top priority to the development of communities residing in and around the Company’s area of operations. OGDCL management understands that there is a need to strike a balance between the overall objectives of achieving corporate excellence vis-à-vis social responsibility towards the community. It is our belief that “businesses cannot succeed in societies that fail” and this twin objective of business and social commitment has prompted OGDCL to embark upon massive programs of education, health and infrastructure development. |

| OUR VISION: |

To promote sustainable social and economic development. Our objective remains, to be recognized as a conscientious and responsible corporate citizen, endeavoring to bring sustainable changes in the lives of communities associated with us.
The key ongoing / completed activities of CSR projects undertaken during the financial year 2011-12 are as follows:

| EDUCATION |
| |
Ignorance prevents people from improving their lives and is thereby the biggest impediment to a nation’s development. Most of the problems faced by our world today, stem from mass ignorance. Poverty, diseases, over population, violence, ecological crisis and intolerance are all fallouts of lack of knowledge and comprehension.
It is our firm belief that training and education are essential to professional development and that education is a building block for change. We support education initiatives directed at our employees as well as the people and communities around us. The variety of projects our Company supports reflects the difference in needs of the communities in which we are active. From providing schools with computers and books, renovating schools, encouraging sport activities, creating learning opportunities within the business, to employees taking on the role of coach and mentor, our Company looks for practical and effective means of contributing to the community.
OGDCL enters an operational area with the basic objective of upliftment of communities.
