CSR / CER Advisory consultants in Madhya Pradesh.

Advisory work in Madhya Pradesh spans a state where industry sits in pockets among forest and farmland. Singrauli in the east holds open-cast coal mines and thermal power stations that light much of northern India. Cement plants cluster around Satna, Katni and Damoh on the Vindhyan limestone. Mandideep, just outside Bhopal, holds textile, food and engineering units; Pithampur holds vehicle and pharmaceutical makers; Jabalpur has ordnance factories and a growing industrial area; Gwalior and Malanpur hold older plants in the north. Between these pockets stretch whole districts that are mostly forest, with barely a chimney in them.

Community programmes in this state often reach Adivasi villages beside mines, forests and power stations. The need is basic: drinking water, schools, health, livelihoods from forest produce. DMF money and clearance commitments both flow to the villages that mining affects. Projects that restore village tanks, build recharge structures, support forest-produce livelihoods or equip schools can be measured and handed to the gram sabha to maintain. The team travels from its base in Navi Mumbai and stays named on the work, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
