The Asian Institute of Management Centre (AIM) for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has conferred the much coveted and highly prestigious Asian Corporate Social Responsibility Award on Hindalco, for its Integrated Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme. An honour of the highest kind on this side of the universe, the Asian CSR Award is Asia's Premier Awards Programme on corporate social responsibility.
For all of us in the Group and more so for those of us who are so involved in the Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, led by Mrs. Rajashree Birla, this has been an overwhelmingly proud moment. One was thrilled having penned this project and having witnessed the transformation it brought about in the villages. It is a recognition par-excellence and rightly so, Hindalco has worked wonders for the community. Since the last four decades, under Mr. A.K. Agarwala, Hindalco's community projects set new benchmarks and gradually evolved into 'benchmark' projects for the whole of Asia, backed by the unstinted support and commitment of Mrs. Rajashree Birla. It was an honour to receive this award along with Mr. Ahmer Sultan of Hindalco, at the hands of His Excellency Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, the Prime Minister of Thailand, at a glittering award ceremony in Thailand held on 19 September, 2003. The other distinguished members linked with this award, who congratulated our team included Mr. Ramon del Rosario Jr., Chairman of the Board of Advisors, Mr. Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. AIM Centre for Corporate Responsibility, Senator M
