MMTC Ltd, India’s leading international trading company which is now in its Golden Jubilee Year,  has launched a three-pronged strategy for the success of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The company is channelising its resources primarily into three core areas — addressing infrastructural needs, environmental concerns, and relief & restoration activities in times of natural calamities.

The company’s primary focus under infrastructure development is education, healthcare and capacity building and MMTC’s corporate social responsibility efforts address the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations.  MMTC engages with NGOs who are involved in supporting the cause of education for the less privileged.

The company acknowledges the assistance meted out by these institutes by providing timely grants which are deemed vital from the context of sustenance of these NGOs. In recent years, MMTC has undertaken construction of classrooms, drinking water and sanitation facilities in several government schools in the backward regions of Odisha and Tamil Nadu and made infrastructural contributions in terms of furniture and hardware to some.

Earlier, the company had partnered with NGOs in sponsoring education for children, providing infrastructural support of computers, accessories and transport to schoolchildren, and aiding the implementation of mid-day meal schemes in govt. schools. MMTC has also extended support for skill development centers for persons with disabilities, for creation of self-employability initiatives for the economically deprived urban youth, and for skill development trainings in stitching, photography, computer and multi-media to women from economically weaker sections.

MMTC is supporting NGOs engaged in healthcare. Towards this end, MMTC recently partnered with NGOs for setting up health camps and eye camps in East Delhi that were primarily targeted at the economically backward sections. Further, it has extended financial assistance to notable trusts for the conduct of free medical camps and establishment of healthcare facilities for those in need.
