For us in Trans Asia Group, reaching out to underserved communities is part of our DNA. We routinely introspect and ensure that we transcend business interests and grapple with the “quality of life” challenges that underserved communities face, and work towards making a meaningful difference to them.
Our vision is – “to actively contribute to the social and economic development of the communities in which we operate. In so doing build a better, sustainable way of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the country’s human development index”.
All projects are identified in a participatory manner, in consultation with the community, by sitting with them and gauging their basic needs. Subsequently, based on a consensus and in discussion with the village panchayats, and other stakeholders, projects are prioritized.
From these focus area studies, we have identified projects for Education, Health care, Sustainable livelihood and Infrastructure development.
In Education, we endeavour to spark the desire for learning and knowledge at every stage through
In Health care, our goal is to render quality health care facilities to people living in the villages, panchayats and elsewhere through nearby hospitals.
In Infrastructure Development, we endeavour to set up essential services that form the foundation of sustainable development through
Before the commencement of the project, we carry out a baseline study of the villages. The study encompasses various parameters such as – health indicators, literacy levels, sustainable livelihood processes, and population data – below the poverty line and above the poverty line, state of infrastructure, among others. From the data generated, a 1- year plan is developed for the holistic and integrated development of the marginalized.
These plans are presented at the Annual Planning and Budget meeting. All projects are assessed under the agreed strategy and monitored every quarter, measured against targets and budgets. Wherever necessary, midcourse corrections are affected.
Trans Asia Group’s CSR activities are under the leadership of our director, Ms.Marylin Johnson. Her vision underlines all CSR activities. The onus for the successful and time-bound implementation of the projects is on the CSR teams under the HR department. Our internal audit team measures the impact of the work done, and a social satisfaction survey is sent out.
Collaborative partnerships are formed with the Government, the District Authorities, the village panchayats, NGOs and other like-minded stakeholders. This helps widen the Company’s reach and leverage upon the collective expertise, wisdom and experience that these partnerships bring to the table.
Trans Asia engages with well-established and recognized programmes with organizations such as the CRY, Blind organization of India, Help Age India, World Vision, Cochin Cancer Society, to name a few.
A specific budget is allocated for CSR activities. This budget is project-driven.
The Company’s engagement in this domain is disseminated on its website, annual reports and its in-house journals.
