At Lloyds Infinite Foundation, we believe that true progress lies in the harmony between industrial growth and environmental stewardship. Our journey at the Surjagarh Mine in Gadchiroli stands as a testament to this philosophy. Through our sustainable mining CSR initiatives in Gadchiroli, we demonstrate that responsible mining can coexist with ecological preservation and community well-being.
Lloyds Infinite Foundation has been working to support tribal communities around its operational areas by helping establish schools, hospitals, and water supply facilities, along with undertaking various infrastructure, skill development, and women empowerment initiatives.By focusing on these key pillars, we aim to create a positive and sustainable impact on local communities. These initiatives are designed to foster holistic growth and enhance the overall quality of life for residents in the regions where we operate. Through these efforts, we continue to push the boundaries of industrial, economic, and community development across the region.
The reforestation efforts led byourCSR initiatives have gone beyond ecological restoration,to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for residents. In Gadchiroli, efforts are underway to plant and nurture 11 lakh trees, with attention given to long-term ecological care. In addition, the Manger and Hedri ponds in Etapalli taluka have been rejuvenated, and the surroundings of these community water bodies have been enhanced through thoughtful beautification work.As part of the program, community members—particularly from tribal and rural backgrounds—have been actively engaged in every stage of the process, from nursery development, seed collection, and sapling plantation to long-term care and maintenance of restored areas.
These activities have helped build green skills among participants, enabling them to take up roles in eco-restoration, organic composting, water conservation, and sustainable forestry practices. By integrating environmental goals with social impact, the project ensures that reforestation not only revitalizes the land but also empowers local communities with stable, eco-friendly livelihoods.
The CSR foundation for mining communities Gadchiroli is dedicated to uplifting lives beyond the boundaries of the mine. We focus on creating green employment opportunities by training local youth in solar technology, waste management, and sustainable agriculture practices. Through CSR initiatives in mining sector Gadchiroli, we encourage skill development and self-reliance, transforming communities into active contributors to regional progress. These programs ensure that the benefits of mining extend far beyond economics, nurturing long-term social and environmental well-being.
As the CSR arm of one of the fastest growing mining companies in India, we are redefining how corporate social responsibility is practiced within the mining sector.
Our Lloyds Infinite Foundation CSR framework aligns with both national and global sustainability goals, emphasizing inclusion, innovation, and integrity. As B. Prabhakaran’s, sustainable mining philosophy rests on the belief that,“True responsibility lies in building together — with honesty, compassion, and a shared purpose that uplifts everyone involved.” Inspired by this belief, every project undertaken by the Foundation is built on the pillars of transparency and collaboration, ensuring impact that endures. Regular consultations with village councils, local authorities, and youth groups ensure that the community’s voice remains central to our decision-making process. This approach strengthens local governance and builds a sense of shared responsibility toward the environment.
Despite the inherent challenges of working in geographically diverse regions, our commitment to corporate social responsibility in Gadchiroli remains unwavering. Every milestone we achieve reflects our dedication to fostering a greener and more inclusive future. Through the integration of sustainable technologies and community-driven initiatives, Lloyds Infinite Foundation continues to support and enhance industry benchmarks for responsible mining, contributing to lasting environmental and social impact.
