At the core of Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Ltd., there is a strong force for positive change, a driving spirit that has woven transformative threads into the very fabric of communities it touches. Harmeet Sehra, the Head of CSR, stands as a beacon of this profound commitment.
Recently, Sehra was honoured with the prestigious “Leader of the Year Award” for her exceptional work spanning across Cairn’s operational domains through numerous CSR endeavours. Her passion for instigating profound change and ensuring the seamless continuity of business has not only touched countless lives but has also elevated our corporate image as a responsible entity dedicated to “transforming communities.”
Under her visionary leadership, Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Ltd., has also won the best impact projects under the categories of Water & Healthcare.
The details of the projects won are –
- “Jeevan Amrit Project” – This initiative strives to provide safe drinking water, impacting over 1.5 lakh people annually, while also fostering local job opportunities to manage community RO units. Our achievement lies in creating a successful model where the community takes ownership and accountability for these RO units’ operations. With great pride, the project has now been seamlessly transitioned to the Public Health and Engineering Department.
- “Nirogi Rajasthan” – This project’s mission is to create widespread awareness about healthcare and overall well-being, with a special focus on mental health. We were duly honoured for our creative approach to addressing mental health issues by collaborating with district administration and like-minded organisations. This initiative touched the lives of more than 1 lakh people, spanning across 500+ villages.
On July 14, 2023, in a grand event held in Delhi, Harmeet Sehra, along with Prahalad Singh Bhati and Rahul Prashant Singh, proudly accepted the award on behalf of Cairn. The award was presented by none other than Kiran Bedi and organised by the Integrated Health & Wellbeing (IHW) Council – an institution at the forefront of advocating for policy change and raising awareness about healthcare services in India.
Harmeet Sehra’s recognition as the “Leader of the Year” serves as an inspiration, illuminating our path as we continue our journey towards transforming communities and making a positive impact on the world.
