TCI Foundation (TCIF) started the vocational training centre in Jhamhar, near Ranchi, Jharkhand two years ago.

Two batches of women each batch of about 20, have completed their training in handloom weaving. They have been given looms and women have now started working from home.

The centre has now been equipped with a mobile workshop which can cater to about 100 patients at any point of time.

The school which was set up in 2005 is slowly but surely growing.

BMGF Funded Project 'Kavach'

Out of 15 kavach project interventions, TCIF has successfully transitioned 10 interventions to NACO. Through this, TCIF has successfully transferred key learning's from its intervention experience to the government and other key stakeholders.

Suraksha Khushi project

In 2010-2011, HPCL as part of their CSR initiative under Project Suraksha to improve the health seeking behavior of long distance truckers, with the expertise of TCIF, has replicated the Khushi Clinic Model of TCI Foundation in two of its Junction outlets:

- Hosur in Tamil Nadu

- Ravulapalem in Andhra Pradesh

In 2011-2012, HPCL extended its reach by opening two more clinics at the following junction outlets:

- Sikandra in Uttar Pradesh

Through this initiative, last year alone, TCIF reached out to 11,640 truckers and provided treatment to 2,328 unique long distance truckers on the NH-2, NH-4 & NH-5.

Celebrated Road Safety Week in Association with SIAM

Integrated Road safety trainings and health camps were organized by TCIF in association with Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) from 5th - 9th Jan'12 at 10 locations across India. TCIF reached out to 851 long distance truckers through road safety trainings in the Transshipment locations and through Health Camps reached out to 1875 LDT. Total of 289 truckers were referred to nearby ICTCs. Special talk was facilitated on 'HIV & AIDS' prevention and care.

TCI's Workplace programmer on HIV/AIDS

TCI is one of the few Corporate in India with a well defined workplace policy on HIV/AIDS. The policy was adopted in 2005 and was revised in January 2010 by incorporating two new clauses on social dialogue and gender discrimination.

A module on HIV/AIDS awareness programme has been developed which is integrated with the overall training programmes of the TCI group. The staff of TCI gets exposed to the training each time they go for training programmes in their core areas which are held in the three training centers of the Group.

Its yet another year and time to report on the initiatives on the CSR front. While the existing projects are going on well, scaling up their targets, the highlights of the year gone by have been the following.

- TCI Foundations (TCIF) tie-up with JHARCRAFT resulting in Women from our target areas moving towards empowerment leading to enhanced self esteem, confidence and discovering/rediscovering themselves.

- TCIFs collaboration with NIIT Foundation to train the girls and women from the villages in Khunti District of Jharkhand in Information Technology.

- The leadership role played by TCI to get the Transport Systems and Management course revised and changed to the needs and demands of the market. TCI is closely working and supporting CBSE in this endeavor.

Vocational Training Center

Last year in February 2010, TCIF had started a vocational training center in its school campus. The intent behind starting the center was to facilitate the communities in the tribal belt to learn new skills, upgrade the existing ones and also to provide a common forum for social mobilization leading towards empowerment. We are providing training in sewing, computers and beauty culture. We have had a good response from women and girls to the programmes started in the year 2009-10.

TCIFs tie up with Jharkhand Silk Textile & Handicraft Development Corporation Ltd, (JHARCRAFT)

TCIF with the help of JHARCRAFT, a Government of Jharkhand undertaking, has started a training programme for our women trainees in handloom weaving. The women would be receiving a monthly stipend of about Rs. 2000-2500 depending upon the days they log in from JHARCRAFT.

The center has been established in a building that is owned by the local people in Jhamhar village. The first batch of 16 women have finished their three months training. The first lot of stipend has been received for 16 students. A cheque of Rs. 31,860 has been received for the first month. An account in the name of TCIF Womens Self Help Group has been opened in one of the local banks there.

Every trainee will be awarded one loom at the end of the 3 month training

At the end of the three months, all the trainees would be given one loom each that would be installed in their own homes. This is being done to encourage women entrepreneurship and is also a step towards revival of traditional crafts. The women would also be given raw materials and they can work at home and the finished products would be collected from them after being paid for their labor.

This initiative would indeed be impacting very hugely on the women and would lead towards their empowerment. Women who have hitherto been on the fringes of their families with low self esteem have been facilitated to come out of their homes, obtain skills leading to employability which would ultimately lead to their gaining more confidence and discovering /rediscovering themselves.

Tie up with NIIT Foundation

TCIF entered into an MoU with NIIT Foundation to support us in running the IT course. The support will be in the form of the following

- Providing accreditation to the IT course being taught in the Vocational Training Center

- Provide the content

- Train and certify the resource persons

- Students upon completion of the course would be presented certification by NIIT Foundation

This tie up is expected to add value to the course and help the students to upgrade their skills further and improve their employability in the job market.

TCIF and CBSE collaborate to revise the TS&M course in the Plus 2 grade

TCI wants that the CBSE approved course in Transport System and Management (TS&M) is revised to meet the present requirements of the Logistics industry. TCI has been facilitating CBSE to take this initiative forward. A committee has already been formed and work in this direction is in progress.

Artificial Limb Center

TCIF started an artificial limb center namely "TCI Jaipur Foot and Rehabilitation CenterÃ situated in Patna in May 2008.This was done in collaboration with Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sewa Samiti (BMVSS) in Jaipur. It provides artificial limbs, crutches and calipers to the poor, free of cost.

A few organizations from overseas as well have shown interest in our work nationally decorated doctors whose services are widely acknowledged and recognized are on the centers panel. They provide free consultancy services to the patients twice a week.

TCI DAV Public School

The school is being run by DAV College Managing Committee.

Dispensaries

The two dispensaries one each in Coimbatore and Portblair are catering to the nearby villages around them. Basic services are provided free of cost.

HIV/AIDS Awareness Programme

TCIF runs KAVACH, an awareness programme on HIV/AIDS for the long distance truckers. The programme had focused interventions in 15 largest impact locations on the major routes along the national highways inspired by the programming approach of Kavach in arresting the spread of HIV among the vulnerable population.

Impact of the programme
