Day 2: Engaging with Communities
The second day was dedicated to exploring our CSR initiatives. Accomapnied by the CSR and Communications team members including Vishal Agarwal, Sandhya Thakur, Ayodhya Prasad, Nishtha Raghav and Esha Rao, Varsha received a briefing on the history of Cairn’s interventions over the past 30 years across four key locations. She visited the Community Empowerment Centre (CEC) and engaged with a mobile repairing and data entry training batch.
The team then travelled to Nand Ghars in Barmer, where Varsha met with Anganwadi workers to better understand their vital roles and functions in the community.
Next, at the RO Kawas site, she interacted with community members who actively cared for the plant. The journey continued to an agriculture project site, where Varsha met local farmers dedicated to maintaining pastureland. The visit also included a tour of the Cairn township and a stop at Aishwariya Well Pad 8, where she witnessed drilling operations first-hand.
Varsha’s visit underscored Cairn’s commitment to operational excellence and community engagement, reflecting our shared values within the Vedanta family. We look forward to her leadership in communications as we continue to make a positive impact in the regions we serve.
