4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ALONG WITH WEB-LINK OF IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CSR
PROJECTS CARRIED OUT IN PURSUANCE OF SUB-RULE (3) OF RULE 8 OF THE COMPANIES (CORPORATE
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY) RULES, 2014, IF APPLICABLE
Though NSDL is not required to conduct the impact assessment of its CSR
projects as per the sub rule (3) of Rule 8 of the Companies (Corporate Social
Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, the Board recommended to perform impact assessment of
the CSR projects executed in preceding financial years through an independent agency as a
prudent practice to analyse the project impact.
Hence, NSDL and its subsidiaries entrusted the Centre for Excellence in
CSR (CECSR) at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, to conduct a Social Impact
Assessment (SIA) of its CSR initiatives spanning fiscal years 2018 to 2022 to understand
the on-ground feedback of the CSR projects. This comprehensive study assessed the impact
of NSDL's projects on Health (specifically focusing on Thalassemia Patients- Project
Yogdan), Education (Scholarship Project- Shiksha Sahyog), and Skill Development
initiatives (Artha SAMARTH). The report provides an overview of these three projects, with
dedicated chapters for each intervention detailing the assessment studies.
Project Yogdan -
NSDL partnered with Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital (Sion
Hospital) and Comprehensive Thalassemia Care Center and Bone Marrow Transplantation Center
in Borivali to provide free comprehensive care, including transfusions, iron overload
management, and related complications treatment. This support ensures that economically
disadvantaged patients receive necessary care without interruption. A cumulative study was
conducted for the fiscal years 2018-19 to 2021-22 due to beneficiaries being spread across
each financial year, with new additions mostly comprising newborns, while the rest are
carried forward from previous years. Yearly DEXA Scans and Cardiac & Liver T2* MRI
investigations are conducted to address severe health conditions like Osteoporosis and
Iron Overload on vital body organs. Since there is no complete cure and all beneficiaries
require blood transfusions based on the severity, they are requesting the continuation of
this project. The support provided to the Comprehensive Thalassemia Care Center and Bone
Marrow Transplantation Center in Borivali during the two financial years was very
productive.
Shiksha Sahyog
NSDL partnered with TISS and Vidyasaarathi for the Shiksha Sahyog
project, providing scholarships to marginalised students for period between FY 201819 and
FY 2021-22, with an exception in FY 201920 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. While the
scholarships have been well received by everyone interviewed and shows very high
satisfaction. Overall, the partnership between NSDL and TISS & Vidyasaarathi for
project Shiksha Sahyog has been instrumental in empowering students and ensuring their
access to quality education.
Artha SAMARTH
Project Artha SAMARTH aimed to provide employable and self-employment
skills in mutual fund distributor programmes and the business correspondence business
facilitators (BCBF) sector to deserving youth, thereby creating livelihood opportunities.
The programme targeted a diverse group including self-employed youth, existing
or emerging entrepreneurs, existing BCs, low- income entrepreneurs,
unemployed graduates, and those working in the informal sector. By providing income
sources, the project aimed to support their livelihoods and enhance their economic
well-being. The Government of India's emphasis on Skill India and Make in India
initiatives provides a conducive environment for NSDL to collaborate with existing
implementing agencies or new agencies working closely on the ground. This collaboration
can lead to the development of more impactful skill development projects. The success of
Project Artha SAMARTH is evident from the significant increase in the annual income of
beneficiaries after completing the skill development courses. This approach will not only
benefit the individual beneficiaries but also contribute to the overall socio-economic
development of the country.
Conclusion and Recommendations
This Social Impact Assessment report provides valuable insights into
the impact of NSDL's CSR initiatives on Health, Education, and Skill Development. The
impact study report recommends continued support for Thalassemia patients, expanding
scholarship programmes, and enhancing skill development initiatives to reach a wider
audience. Overall, the Social Impact Assessment conducted by TISS CECSR demonstrates
NSDL's commitment to CSR and its positive impact on society. Through its initiatives, NSDL
has made a significant difference in the lives of Thalassemia patients, underprivileged
students, and deserving youth, contributing to socioeconomic development in India.
