DHAMPUR COMMUNITY
Development with responsibility
Sharing makes success sweeter.
Dhampur believes in being a responsible and caring
corporate citizen. The Group not only contributes to the nations self
sufficiency in power, fuel ethanol, chemicals and sugar, but also shares its
success with society at large.
By providing employment to rural folk and sharing in the
economic development of farmers and their families, Dhampur has provided a
major impetus to the growth and development of the rural areas of India. It assists farmers in the areas
of sowing, manure, and improved cane varieties through an intensive cane
development program. Widening the scope of traditional farmer-factory
relationship, Dhampur has been involved in providing crop knowledge, modern
cultivation techniques, improved variety of seeds,
better inputs for transportation and irrigation and social welfare activities
for the rural community near the factories.
Caring for and preserving the environment has been a top
priority. Dhampur has undertaken the task of extensive plantation in and
around the factory complexes at various locations and so far the exercise has
been fairly successful. The local population is also encouraged to undertake
plantation drives.
Dhampur encourages use of renewable fuels, which not only
save national resources but are also eco–friendly. The Group today has
cogeneration facilities producing 145 MW of power from renewable resources,
which do not contribute to Greenhouse gasses.
Dhampur strives to be a good corporate citizen. While the
manufacturing activities contribute towards strengthening the rural fabric of
the country, extension of these activities to include by-product utilization
boosts rural development. This provides direct and indirect employment through
sugarcane complexes as well as infrastructure development through trading
activities and transportation.
SPORTS
Fitness and sports have a very special place in Dhampur’s agenda. It is Dhampur’s
endeavor to improve the level of performance in sports in India as well as to provide budding
talent in rural areas with international standard playing facilities. In
order to promote sports amongst the rural population and to hone the skills
of talented youngsters, the services of professional coaches for various
disciplines have been engaged. Besides creating infrastructure and providing
professional training for upcoming sportspersons, Dhampur is also actively
involved in sponsoring various sports events.
Dhampur’s dynamic and multitalented Chairman,
Mr.Vijay K.Goel is a keen
sportsperson and an accomplished Squash player. He takes personal and direct
interest in all sports development and promotional activities of the Dhampur
Group. He has been the President of the Delhi Squash Association since 2004.
His vision and efforts have opened new vistas for rural youth.
The Vice Chairman, Mr. Ashok K. Goel
has represented India at the World Bridge Olympiad in Italy in 1992, the Bermuda Bowl at China in 2007 and has won most of the
major bridge tournaments held in India. He is the Founding-President of
the Contract Bridge Association, a nation-wide organization dedicated to
increasing Bridge awareness and boosting youth participation.
SQUASH
Dhampur has co-sponsored the North India Open Squash
Championship, Delhi Open Squash Championship, Northern India Squash
Championship, Hamdard-Delton
Delhi Open Squash Championship for the last 4 years.
Apart from sponsoring some top national rank holders,
Dhampur has also been nurturing local sporting talent through promoting
sports in rural areas in and around its manufacturing facilities. This young
brigade from very humble backgrounds has invaded the squash circuits in India and abroad and is a force to
reckon with.
CRICKET
Dhampur sponsors the Ajay Goel
Memorial cricket championship for regional teams at Bareilly.
EDUCATION
The Dhampur Group has educational facilities at its units.
It has also established model schools near Dhampur and Asmoli.
These schools not only provide quality education to the local population but
also to students from surrounding areas.
We believe that quality education remains the bedrock for
integrated social development. Conceptualized by the Dhampur Group, the Pushp Niketan School
at the Dhampur Unit, has emerged as a unique model
for imparting world class education to rural population. With a 1:30 teacher-student ratio, each child
receives proper attention and care.
Dhampur has recently set up the Academy of Modern Learning with branches at Asmoli
and Gunnaur. The schools are equipped with modern
learning and sports facilities and encourage co-curricular activities to
facilitate wholesome development.
