.

8226; Social justice requires to offer all young people equal opportunities to become productive members of society and lead a life of dignity. This is a right that SCs/STs have been historically denied for social, cultural and economic reasons.

8226; We are reassured to learn from the government that it has no intention of resorting to legislative action to impose a statutory obligation of reservation on industry.

8226; The imperatives of a competitive economy require that industry place a premium on merit. However, we also recognize that merit is not a natural phenomenon but shaped by social circumstances. We believe that providing quality education, facilities for skill development and creating a culture for enterpreneurship among the youth from the SCs/STs are key to creating this environment.

8226; We commit to expand our current activities for disadvantaged persons with regard to scholarships, company-run private schools, partnership with government schools, vocational training in-house as well as with ITIs.
