Koppal, Karnataka, Feb 25: Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited continues to advance its commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable community development through a series of impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives conducted in and around its Koppal plant. The company has implemented programs that focus on women empowerment, accessible healthcare and the holistic development of children, positively impacting numerous families across nearby villages.
As part of its women empowerment initiatives, Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited organised structured awareness and skill development programs aimed at fostering self-reliance and confidence among women. Workshops such as flower-making using corn husks encouraged creativity while equipping participants with livelihood-oriented skills rooted in sustainable practices. These initiatives, supported by local Gram Panchayat participation, have helped women build capabilities, explore income-generating opportunities and strengthen their role within their families and communities. By promoting confidence and independence, the programs are contributing to stronger and more resilient village ecosystems.
Extending its care beyond the workplace, Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited organised a Free Multi-Speciality Health Check-Up Camp at Bhagyanagar, Koppal, benefiting nearly 600+ community members including school children. The camp offered consultations in general medicine, eye care, dental services, women’s health, orthopaedics, Echo, ECG, and cervical cancer screening. By making quality healthcare services accessible at the community level, the initiative reinforced the importance of preventive care and early diagnosis, particularly for underserved populations. Senior company officials visited the camp, reaffirming the organisation’s continued focus on community wellbeing.
The company’s CSR efforts have also significantly enriched the lives of young students through educational and engagement initiatives designed to foster creativity, awareness and life skills. Children participated in clay workshops, painting and drawing sessions, and singing workshops that introduced them to folk, solo and group music forms. These activities created joyful learning environments that encouraged imagination, confidence and self-expression.
In addition, Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited conducted a Safe Touch Awareness Program for school children, helping them understand personal safety and appropriate boundaries in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. Firefighting training sessions at Kanakapura Government School further equipped students with essential emergency response knowledge, covering fire safety practices and raising awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol and substance abuse. These initiatives have empowered children with critical life skills, fostering awareness, preparedness and responsible citizenship at an early age.
Speaking about these initiatives, Mr. Vipul Mashruwala, President, Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited, said,
“At Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited, we believe that sustainable progress is built on the strength of the communities around us. Our CSR initiatives in Koppal reflect our deep commitment to empowering women, nurturing young minds and improving access to healthcare.

Whether it is equipping women with skills for self-reliance, providing health support to families, or instilling confidence and safety awareness in children, each initiative is designed to create lasting and meaningful impact. We remain committed to walking alongside our communities in their journey of growth.”
Through its continued focus on education, women empowerment and healthcare, Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited is playing an active role in shaping brighter futures for young students and enabling women to become catalysts of change within their communities.
