Welfare Activities in B.C.C.L

 

Welfare and Community Development

Quality of life at work place and living place contribute significantly in achieving the aims of the Company. The coal mines are mostly situated in isolated areas where facilities of modern living are lacking. Besides this, the nature of work of the employees engaged in coal industry is very difficult and hazardous. Keeping these facts in view, the Company has been endeavoring to improve the basic needs and facilities of the employees.
