Flood Relief Camp at Bihar

Millions of people struggled for their lives as the district of Bihar witnessed a devastating flood during the month of August 2008. In this hour of need, the employees of Shyam Steel Industries Limited came forward to extend whole-hearted support to the flood affected victims, and they were encouraged by the Management as well. In order to avoid middlemen in their relief efforts, the Company tied up with ‘Nidan’, a Bihar-based self-help group which was also working with the same objective. A select group of volunteers rushed to Bihar along with members of ‘Nidan’, and made a first-hand assessment of the entire situation. On behalf of Shyam Steel, a huge quantity of garments and blankets were distributed to the flood victims. The local MLA, DM, BDO as well as top level Police Officials were present during the entire distribution process. The whole exercise was highly appreciated and covered in several media such as ‘Dainik Jagran’ newspaper along with the local news channel ‘City’. The Company had recently organised a similar humanitarian effort to help the flood victims in Midnapore in West Bengal.

On Tuesday, 1st July 2008, Shyam Steel Industries Limited organised a RELIEF CAMP for the thousands of flood affected people in the region of Patashpur in Purba Midnapore district. The company was represented by Sri Shyam Sunder Beriwala, Chairman, Shyam Steel, and Mr. Puroshottam Beriwala, Director, Shyam Steel, as well as other important personalities from the organisation. On this occasion, relief material was distributed at approximately 12 points within the Patashpur area, including Jatakuti, Paitan, Durgamandap, Uttar Selmabad, Semlai More, Kuobera More, Borberia and Kataberia areas.
