process/measures have been formulated in the areas such as business, project execution, event,
financial, human, environment and statutory compliance.
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors and Senior Management Personnel ("the
Code"), which lays down the principles and standards that should govern the actions of the Directors
and Senior Management Personnel.
We believe that while the growth and success of our business is our priority, we can reach our greater
goals only if we cater to the needs of the communities where we operate. Community development
involves implementing a long-term plan to establish a supportive and lasting framework for the
progress of communities. As a result, the Company''s approach to Corporate Social Responsibility
("CSR") extends beyond fulfilling legal obligations and instead focuses on generating social and
environmental benefits.
The CSR committee of the Board oversees and guides our CSR approach and deployment in line
with the CSR Policy adopted by the Board. The CSR Policy covers the focus/thrust areas around which
the CSR programmes, projects and activities are planned for creating a significant positive impact on
targeted stakeholder groups. During the financial year under review, the CSR efforts of the Company
continued to be directed towards its focus areas in line with the Company''s CSR Policy positively.
The Annual Report on CSR activities is enclosed as "Annexure C"
As per the provisions of Section 134(5)(e) of the Companies Act, 2013, the Directors have an overall
responsibility for ensuring that the Company has implemented robust systems/ framework of internal
financial controls to provide them with reasonable assurance regarding the adequacy and operating
effectiveness of controls with regards to reporting, operational and compliance risks. To enable the
Directors to meet these responsibilities, the Board has devised systems/ frameworks which are operating
within he Company. In line with best practice, the Board regularly reviews the internal control system
to ensure that it remains effective and fit for purpose. Where weaknesses are identified as a result of
the reviews, new procedures are put in place to strengthen controls and these are in turn reviewed at
regular intervals.
Your Company''s management has established and maintained internal financial controls based
on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established in the integrated framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the
COSO criteria), which considers the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance
Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets,
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies
Act, 2013.
Based on information provided, nothing has come to the attention of Directors to indicate that
any material breakdown in the function of these controls, procedures or systems occurred during the
year under review. There have been no significant changes in our internal financial controls during
the year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
financial controls.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and
procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls
and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Further, in the design and evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, our management was necessarily required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
During the year 2023-2024, the Board of Directors met 21 times. The maximum gap between any two
Board Meetings was less than one Hundred and Twenty days.
