FIMI - Social Awarness Award

FIMI has always been conscious of the social responsibilities and obligations of the mining industry. However, in order to further encourage mining units to play a more active role in promoting the social well-being of the people living around mining areas, FIMI, since 1995-96, has instituted two Social Awareness Awards:

 

1. Sita Ram Rungta Social Awareness Award

2. NMDC Social Awareness Award

 

The Awards are given to the mine in the following categories :

 

1. First class mines (as defined by the Metalliferous Mines Regulations, 1961)

2. All other categories of mines

 

The  Awards  (a shield to the mine's management) are  designed  to recognise  the  mines  adjudged to have best  contributed  to  the general  upliftment  and well-being of the areas  and  people  not directly connected with that company, compelled by no other  force other than their social conscience.

 

A Committee consisting of the following members will evaluate  the applications and select the award-winners :

This letter is to invite your nomination for the awards for the year 2007-08. We enclose a questionnaire on the basis of which the marking will be done by the Award Committee. In order to facilitate the Award Committee's assessment of your application, we would request you to kindly send us the details of the works done by you in respect of community development aspects only in a video film restricted to the time limit of five minutes.

 

Further, we would request you to kindly indicate the turnover of the company and percentage of the turnover incurred on community development work within the leasehold and outside the leasehold area.

 

We would also request you to kindly send us 20 sets of your complete application which includes short write-up about your organization along with a CD of Video film and award application fee of Rs. 10,000/- by demand draft favouring Federation of Indian Mineral Industries payable at New Delhi latest by 31st March, 2008. It may be noted that the application without video CD film will not be considered for evaluation.

 

We may incidentally mention that a mine which wins an award  during a year is not eligible for the same award for the next three years. Further,  the  corporates who have received  the  FIMI  Environment Awards/FIMI  Social  Awareness  awards  in  past  on  two  or  more occasions   would   automatically  become  the  members   of   the "Sustainable  Miners' Club" when it comes into operation since  it is felt that any further awards to such companies would be a  mere formality.  Therefore  such organizations need not apply  for  the award.

 

Further,  the  mines  those  who have  received  the  FIMI  Social Awareness Awards in past and applying for the current year  should clearly  indicate  the work done and contribution made  after the year of receiving the last award.
