OIL CSR Coffee Table Book PDF

Editorial
"Oil India Limited firmly believes that “Islands of Prosperity cannot survive in a Sea of
Poverty.” Unless it looks beyond business and gives back to the land and people from
which it has taken so much; empowers the disadvantaged communities and acts as
a catalyst of visible socio-economic development, issues like poverty, unemployment,
developmental disparity would have adverse impact on the Company. For Oil India
Limited, inclusive growth of its operational areas is not merely a policy statement but
an integral part of the Company’s corporate philosophy and culture - enabling OIL to
sustain its image as a ‘people’s company’ in the true spirit of the words. This Coffee
Table Book attempts to capture the spirit of OIL’s CSR footprint."

Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 for North East is a step towards
benefiting the people of north east through a focused and time-
bound road map for developing the hydrocarbon potential of the
region enabling economic and social development. This document
has been developed based on inputs received from all stakeholders
namely oil and gas companies, state governments, ministries,
individuals, consultants etc. and hence is a document which is
based on ground realities and available possibilities.
The various initiatives, proposed under the vision document, will

warrant investment to the tune to Rs. 1.3 lakh crore in the north
east. The investment in upstream, midstream and downstream
segments of the Oil & Gas value chain is likely to be around
Rs. 80,000 crore, Rs. 20,000 crore and Rs. 30,000 crore respectively.
The resourcefulness along with investment, so proposed, is likely to
aid the overall development of the region.

FOR OIL, social welfare is not only an expression of goodwill but a responsibility
towards nation-building and ensuring inclusive growth of the stakeholders. The
belief in innovating newer ways for a better society has made the company
invest in technology with a human face, and undertake massive educational,
health, sports, cultural and infrastructure development programmes. A “People’s
Company”, OIL has become a household name in the oil-rich districts of
Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Charaideo of Assam. Outlined here are some of the
major CSR initiatives in OIL’s operational areas in North East India.

OIL has organised 22 rural sports events in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts of Assam since
2014-15 till 2016-17 fiscal. Envisaged to provide a platform for budding athletes at the village
level, such events have helped unite communities, mobilise, inspire and instil responsible
behaviour among the children and youth. The events are held in collaboration with social
groups, district administration and sports bodies. These OIL-sponsored rural sports events
have produced young athletes who are now participating at district, state and national levels.

Mission Majuli
Majuli is one of the largest inhabited river islands as well as the hub of Neo-Vaishnavite culture since 15th century
in Assam. The government is also making efforts to help Majuli get recognition as a UNESCO heritage site. Besides,
providing financial assistance to many Satras (monasteries) for promotion of art and culture, dance & music, very
recently, OIL had extended financial support to Auniati Satra for construction of a museum to preserve the rich and
diverse cultural heritage of the Missing community of Majuli at Jengraimukh. In order to promote tourism, OIL had
also provided financial assistance towards construction of waiting sheds and folding tubular structures at Nimati
Ghat and Kamalabari Ghat for convenience of passengers crossing river Brahmaputra.
