CSC contributes to community cause - Blood donation camp held at its facility


Indore, March 5, 2002: Computer Sciences Corporation India Pvt. Ltd. today held a blood donation camp at its facility in Electronics Complex. Speaking at a press meet organised to coincide with the camp, Dr. Arun K. Maheshwari, MD and CEO said, “CSC India has always been a socially conscious company since its inception and has been supporting the local community with different initiatives.”

This is the fourth successive year CSC has organised a blood donation camp in Indore. About 128 CSC employees and associates came forward to donate blood at the camp held with the help of M.Y. Hospital.

In addition to these blood camps, the Social Services Committee of CSC has been supporting many worthy causes since its inception in August 2000. Commenting on these efforts, Dr. Maheshwari said,“ We have encouraged all initiatives undertaken by the employees and set up the Social Services Committee that empowers employees to take up social causes independently. The members of this committee are free to carry out all kinds of activities devoted toward the betterment of our immediate community. I am happy to note that there has been no looking back and the committee has been one of the most active in our organization.’

CSC’s Social Services Committee has spearheaded many causes including adopting two villages, Sagarpaisa and Nayagaon, located about 32 kms from Indore. The activities have so far included provision of potable drinking water; the school buildings have been refurbished and equipped by CSC.

The school offers both primary and adult education and the current strength includes 161 children and 55 adults including 23 women. CSC pays the salaries of the teachers.

These initiatives have met with excellent response and the number of school-going people has almost tripled over the past year.

In addition, it has become a regular feature for CSC employees to celebrate all important festivals and national days at these villages.
