    4. PROJECT MUSKAAN – CHANGING PRIMARY EDUCATION 4 Jubilant initiated a pilot Muskaan Project at Sultanther Government Primary School near Gajraula in Western U.P. in July 2007. The project aimed at bringing a smile on the faces of school children and making school going a happy experience for them. The project aligned with Government of India's Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, aimed at achieving literacy for all and with UN Millennium Development Goal no. 2 - achieving universal primary education PROJECT MUSKAAN- SPREAD ACROSS FOUR STAGES Advocacy The objectives of the project were deliberated in detail with the District Administration and Block Level Education Authority, to win their support and co-operation Sensitisation Trainings and workshops were conducted with local community to involve them in the change.

    5. PROJECT MUSKAAN ….2 5 Implementation Gap analysis in the existing system was undertaken to identify the right approach for the school to pursue its vision through various improvements. Admission drive to bring 100% children to school, monitoring attendance, tracking left outs and drop outs. Various innovative schemes, including recognition and rewards introduced to motivate parents to send their children to school Other steps such as: - Additional teachers appointed, cost shared by Jubilant and community - Cycles, uniforms etc. to needy students - Scholarships to needy students - Equipment for laboratory - Books for library

    6. PROJECT MUSKAAN ….3 6 -Trainings for teachers organised at regular intervals - Activity based teaching modes encouraged through interesting teaching aids - Plantation drives - Birthday celebrations - Reading out important news and recognition of good work done during the morning prayers - Study tours to post office, bank, fire station, health centres - Cultural and sports activities. Sustainability Community involvement and monitoring mechanism to track improvements put in place for long term sustenance of the initiative The assessment for a rural primary school is normally done on the following parameters: absenteeism rate, dropout rate, cleanliness of the school, discipline in the school and parents' involvement in the day to day affairs of the school. A detailed baseline survey of these parameters was conducted prior to taking up the pilot project. These were monitored regularly during the tenure of the project to measure its progress.

    7. PROJECT MUSKAAN ….4 7 The project which started in 2007 with 1 school in, now covers 101 schools at different plant locations with over 13,000 students. BENEFITS Almost zero dropout rate 70% reduction in absenteeism Much better infrastructure of the schools Improved cleanliness and ambience Better quality of teaching Better academic results All round development of students The project has been greatly acclaimed by governments of various states.

    8. IN CSR ALSO, JUBILANT INNOVATES 8 During Project Muskaan implementation, we noticed that Non availability of water led to poor sanitation in schools, leading to reduced attendance, specially among girl students While overhead tanks existed, due to power shortages, the tanks remained empty Jubilant’s team took up this challenge and came out with an out of box solution A special see-saw for children’s playing was created. The see-saw was attached to a bore-well with a specially designed water pump. As children play on the see-saw, the mechanical energy is utilised to lift water to overhead tank. This innovation now ensures sufficient water in tanks at all times and clean and hygienic environment

    9. IN CSR ALSO, JUBILANT INNOVATES… 9

    10. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES 10 SARVAJANIK MEDICAL CENTRE The Sarvajanik Medical Centre (SMC) at Gajraula was set up 25 years back. It has today developed a high level of credibility with the community around due to dedicated services. The services include: Basic healthcare – diagnosis, medication and referral services Mother and child healthcare – tests, medication and expert advice Diagnosis and treatment of TB through a Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) centre set up under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme of the Government Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC) for HIV. On an average, about 150 patients are diagnosed and provided with medicines daily at the SMC which operates six days in a week, treating approximately 50,000 patients a year. SMC caters to villages located in 20 kms radius covering a population of 2 lacs.

    11. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….2 11 The centre also has facilities to provide day care services to 8 patients. A token charge of Rs. 5/- is collected from individuals utilising OPD facilities including medicine so that the patients would value the medicines given and take care in observing the instructions of the doctor. The centre is managed by a qualified and experienced doctor and paramedical staff. We plan to upgrade the facilities by setting up a new and bigger Community Health Centre (CHC) with better facilities. At Nira and Samlaya, regular medical clinics are operated by us at nearby villages providing basic medication and referral services. We also collaborate with leading hospitals to organise medical camps and in-patient services for specific purposes at all locations in association with various Government and Non-Government agencies

    12. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….3 12 OUTREACH PROGRAMME To reach out to the villages beyond our immediate vicinity, we have tied-up with Rotary International and initiated Mobile Dispensary Services at Gajraula which operates thrice a week. It caters to 40 villages located within 40 km radius 50-60 patients avail basic healthcare services each day (approx. 8000 a year) The services include symptom based treatment, supply of basic medicines and referral services as and when required. We also operate a mobile dispensary at the Nanjangud plant near Mysore in Karnataka. Villages up to a distance of 15 kms are covered by us at this location covering a population of more than 15000

    13. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….4 13 NIROGBACHPAN (Disease Free Childhood) NirogBachpan is an initiative which aims at nurturing the children through developing a system of preventive healthcare and proper monitoring of their health status in the Muskaan schools. Under the project, every child is given a health card and checked once a year. Counselling, wherever necessary, is done to the parents to take care of any health problems. In deserving and needy cases nutritional supplement is also provided by us.

    14. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….5 14 ICTC & DOTS We started an Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC) for HIV/AIDS in association with UP State AIDS Control Society (UPSACS) at Gajraula. Our centre has a tie up with the Anti Retroviral Treatment Centre at the Medical College in nearby town of Meerut. Here, the patients found positive are referred to Qualified Doctors, Councilors and Laboratory Technicians who operate at this centre. The Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) centre at Gajraula was started by us in 2005. It has diagnosed and treated more than 4000 patients till date. The special feature of our DOTS centre has been the dedicated services of its DOTS providers in following up all positive cases and ensuring full treatment. For old and infirm patients medicines are provided at their homes by trained community workers. This ensures better compliance by this vulnerable group. Appreciating the services rendered, the State Government elevated the centre to the level of a referral centre in the region for microscopic testing of TB.

    15. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….6 15 SWASTHYA PRAHARI (HEALTH GUARDS) A community based health program “Swasthya Prahari” was started during FY 2009-10 with the objective to reach out to the community around Gajraula unit who have poor health services Major activities under this project are: Identified one lady from each village to act as Swasthya Prahari (Health Guard), Train Swasthya Praharies on maternal and child health issues. Support the Govt. Health Dept. in organizing Immunization camps Support pregnant women for institutional delivery Monitoring of children growth between 0 to 5 years for malnourishment

    16. HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES….7 16 Various meets of girls and ladies were organized to explain to them about the project. The Swasthya Prahari is a Public Private People Partnership i.e. 4P model and it covered 32 villages covering 100,000 population. The project has resulted in increased awareness about health issues, birth registration, immunization practices and institutional delivery. The institutional delivery ensures reduction in infant and mother mortality rate.

    17. EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH SELF HELP GROUPS 17 The program aims to promote self-sufficiency in women by formation of Self Help Groups (SHGs) for economic empowerment. This is for a long term benefit to unemployed rural women for self-sufficiency. The main activities include: Formation of Self Help Groups Motivate to follow the modus operandi of SHGs Entrepreneurial training through local trainer cum entrepreneur Support the groups in identification of trades. Providing forward linkages. JBF has helped form more than 60 SHGs covering 800 women till date at various locations with a total contribution of Rs 1.5 million. JBF also provided sustenance training on income generating activities like envelope making from old newspapers and scent sticks.

    18. VOCATIONAL TRAINING TO YOUTH 18 JBF has established Vocational Training Centres (VTC) at Gajraula and Nanjangud. VTCs act as catalyst to improve employability of the youth as well as to identify & minimize the skill gap by providing essential training. Based on the specific needs of the target stakeholders the training was provided Technical skills– to improve in Upper Primary school going kids technical skills like carpentary, plumbing, tailoring etc. These can be taken today as a hobby but tomorrow it will help to understand the basic job requirement in chosen area. Vocational Training – to improve technical skills in youth and to train them as per the need of the area as well as to start own enterprise for livelihood generation. Approximately 50% of the youth trained during 2010-11 either got employment in different fields as given or started own micro enterprise. 1000 youth trained till date of whom 300 placed with Dominos/Big Bazar/Pantaloon etc. Around 400 are self employed.

    19. SKILL DEVELOPMENT FOR WOMEN IN NANJANGUD 19 Kallahalli is a small village adjacent to the Nanjangud unit. There are around 200 houses in the village. Most of the village households are dependent on agriculture or small jobs as daily wage earners and Below Poverty Line (BPL). JBF team at Nanjangud came forward to support the villagers and undertook series of projects to help them overcome these challenges. Tailoring was identified as a skill to be developed through training in women for their self reliance. It was decided that Jubilant would get all uniforms of its employees stitched through these trained ladies. Other industries of Nanjangud Industrial area also agreed to help women in Kallahalli village for uniform/dress stitching. Of 25 women trained, 13 are stitching uniforms for the employees of industries in Nanjangud industrial area.

    24. OTHER INITIATIVES 24 Schwab Foundation The Company through Jubilant Bhartia Foundation accomplished in strengthening global relationship for the betterment of society by partnering with Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, a sister organization of the World Economic Forum. This partnership is to recognize and award the Social Entrepreneur of the Year in India, as social entrepreneurs are one of the key enablers of inclusive growth. Supply Chain The eJ-Buy, an on-line system to collect quotation was implemented in the supply chain department. This has not only reduced the paper consumption of the department but also an environment friendly initiative for energy conservation. Further, more than 100 suppliers were involved in issues related to EHS & Climate Change as committed last year through Green Supply Chain Management. The Company’s initiatives for mitigation of Climate Change were recognized by Carbon Disclosure Project, UK and Company secured 2nd position with Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) score of 77 demonstrating clear consideration of risks and opportunities associated with climate change and better data management practice for understanding GHG emissions. Jubilant Hollister-Stier one of the North American Units also supported the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program for the employees to reduce the number of single occupant vehicles on the roads. The objective is to educate all employees about commuting alternatives and promote the use of carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking, bicycling, tele-working and compressed work week schedules as a measure to reduce GHG emission. PULSE POLIO IMMUNISATION At Samlaya Unit, vermi-composting is adopted for converting the canteen’s food waste and dry leaves of the plants into manure. In the reporting year a total of 990 Kgs of manure was generated from vermi-composting and utilized within the unit for horticulture, plantation and greenery development.

    25. MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS OF UN 25 The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals to be achieved by 2015 that are contained in the Millennium Declaration adopted by 189 nations during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. The 8 MDGs are: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Achieve universal primary education Promote gender equality and empower women Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria/ other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop a Global Partnership for Development

While the annual MDG accounting report highlights a number of successes, it also assesses the human impact of lack of adequate progress on many of the Goals. “This report shows that the Goals are achievable when nationally owned development strategies and policies are supported by international development partners,” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon states in his foreword to the report. “At the same time, it is clear that improvements in the lives of the poor have been unacceptably slow, and some hard-won gains are being eroded by the climate, food and economic crises. Billions of people are looking to the international community to realize the great vision embodied in the Millennium Development Goals. Let us keep that promise.” The report highlights big gains in getting children into primary schools in many poor countries, especially in Africa; strong interventions in addressing AIDS, malaria and child health; and a good chance to reach the target for access to clean drinking water. But disadvantages that hurt the poorest, those living in remote areas or with a disability, or due to ethnicity or gender, have sapped progress on many other fronts, it warns. Among the findings are that only half of the developing world’s population has access to improved sanitation, such as toilets or latrines; girls in the poorest quintile of households are 3.5 times more likely to be out of school than those from the richest households, and four times more likely than boys from this background; and less than half of the women in some developing regions benefit from maternal care by skilled health personnel when giving birth. The share of people in the developing world who subsist on less than $1.25 a day, in constant US dollars, dropped from 46% in the baseline year of 1990 to 27% in 2005 – led by progress in China and Southern and South Eastern Asia – and is expected to tumble to 15% by the target year of 2015. However the MDG Report 2010 also indicates that progress against hunger has been impacted more severely by economic troubles. The ability of the poor to feed their families was hit consecutively by skyrocketing food prices in 2008 and falling incomes in 2009, and the number of malnourished, already growing since the beginning of the decade, may have grown at a faster pace after 2008. The assessment of Goal 8 – for a global partnership for development – indicates resilience in international cooperation in the face of recent economic difficulties. Official development assistance (ODA) rose in both 2008 and 2009, to reach a total of nearly $120 billion per year; developing and poor countries continued to improve access to rich-country markets; and developing-nation debt burdens continued to ease, due to good debt management and ongoing debt relief for the poorest countries. “Despite the setback to exports caused by the global economic crisis, the ratio of debt service to exports remained stable or again fell in most developing regions in 2008,” the report states. “Despite further losses of export earnings in 2009 and, for some countries, declining growth, debt burdens are likely to remain well below historical levels.” But the jury is still out on the global partnership’s overall performance. The report cautions that the 2009 ODA increase sorts out as a mere 0.7% over the 2008 total in real terms, and in current US dollars actually constitutes a 2% decline. The report voices concern on projections for 2010 developmentassistance, which may possibly be jeopardized by fiscal difficulties in donor countries, and also notes a substantial gap in fulfillment of 2005 commitments to double aid to Africa. Moreover, hopes for completing the “development round” of world trade talks, under way since 2001, have been frustrated. Climate change and Goal 7 Under Goal 7, covering the broad area of environmental sustainability, the UN reports that over the last decade the world lost 13 million hectares of forest each year – an alarming rate which is nevertheless a notch down from the annual average of 16 million hectares recorded during the previous decade. Population increase and economic growth in the last two decades have produced a nearly 50% increase in global CO2 emissions between 1991 and 2007, from 21.9 to 29.6 billion metric tons. Figures for 2008 are expected to show that the rate of increase has slowed, largely as a result of economic downturn. It is even possible that total emissions may have decreased in 2009. But the same estimates that produced these findings also suggest that unless decisive action is taken, emissions will again rise rapidly as the world economy reboots. The UN convenes the next round of international climate change negotiations late in 2010, in Cancun, Mexico. MDG +10 Summit: An action agenda to 2015 The UN is convening a special summit in New York, 20-22 September, to agree on a plan to accelerate global action on the Goals. More than 100 Heads of State and Government are expected, along with leaders from the private sector, foundations and civil society organizations. Some highlights from the report: Achieving the MDGs will also require increased attention to those most vulnerable. Policies and interventions will be needed to eliminate the persistent or even increasing inequalities between the rich and the poor, between those living in rural or remote areas or in slums versus better-off urban populations, and those disadvantaged by geographic location, sex, age, disability or ethnicity: • In all developing regions, children in rural areas are more likely to be underweight than urban children. In Latin America and the Caribbean and parts of Asia, this disparity increased between 1990 and 2008. • The gap between the richest and the poorest households remains enormous. In Southern Asia, 60% of children in the poorest areas are underweight compared to 25% of children in the richest households. • In developing regions overall, girls in the poorest 20% of households are 3.5 times more likely to be out of school than girls in the richest households and four times more likely to be out of school than boys from the richest households. • Even in countries close to achieving universal primary education, children with disabilities are the majority of those excluded. • Maternal health is one of the areas in which the gap between rich and poor is most conspicuous. While almost all births are attended by skilled health personnel in the developed countries, less than half of women receive such care when giving birth in parts of the developing world. • Disparities in access to care during pregnancy are also striking, with women in the richest households 1.7 times more likely to visit a skilled health worker at least once before birth than the poorest women. • Lack of education is another major obstacle to accessing tools that could improve people’s lives. For instance, poverty and unequal access to schooling perpetuate high adolescent birth rates, jeopardizing the health of girls and diminishing their opportunities for social and economic advancement. • Contraceptive use is four times higher among women with a secondary education than among those with no education. For women in the poorest households and among those with no education, negligible progress was seen over the last decade. • Only about half of the developing world’s population are using improved sanitation, and addressing this inequality will have a major impact on several of the MDGs. Disparities between rural and urban areas remain daunting, with only 40 per cent of rural populations covered. And while 77% of the population in the richest 20% of households use improved sanitation facilities, the share is only 16% of those in the poorest households. A number of advance have been made: The collective efforts towards achievement of the MDGs have made inroads in many areas. Encouraging trends before 2008 had put many regions on track to achieve at least some of the goals. The economic growth momentum in developing regions remains strong and, learning from the many successes of even the most challenged countries, achieving the MDGs is still within our grasp: • Progress on poverty reduction is still being made, despite significant setbacks due to the 2008-2009 economic downturn, and food and energy crises. The developing world as a whole remains on track to achieve the poverty reduction target by 2015. The overall poverty rate is still expected to fall to 15% by 2015, which translates to around 920 million people living under the international poverty line – half the number in 1990. • Major advances have been made in getting children into school in many of the poorest countries, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. • Remarkable improvements in key interventions – for malaria and HIV control, and measles immunization, for example – have cut child deaths from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. • Between 2003 and 2008, the number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy increased tenfold – from 400,000 to 4 million – corresponding to 42% of the 8.8 million people who needed treatment for HIV. • Major increases in funding and a stronger commitment to control malaria have accelerated delivery of malaria interventions. Across Africa, more communities are benefiting from bed net protection and more children are being treated with effective drugs. • The rate of deforestation, though still alarmingly high, appears to have slowed, due to tree-planting schemes combined with the natural expansion of forests. • Increased use of improved water sources in rural areas has narrowed the large gap with urban areas, where coverage has remained at 94% – almost unchanged since 1990. However, the safety of water supplies remains a challenge and urgently needs to be addressed. • Mobile telephony continues to expand in the developing world and is increasingly being used for m-banking, disaster management and other non-voice applications for development. By the end of 2009, cellular subscriptions per 100 people had reached the 50% mark. The Millennium Development Goals Report, an annual assessment of regional progress towards the Goals, reflects the most comprehensive, up-to-date data compiled by over 25 UN and international agencies. Produced by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the report has been designated by the UN General Assembly as an official input to the MDG summit. It is based on a master set of data that has been compiled by an Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG Indicators led by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. A number of national statisticians and outside expert advisers also contributed. A complete set of the data used to prepare the report is available online. Read the Secretary-General’s statement at the launch of the report. For the webcast of the press conference where the Secretary-General launched the report, click here.
