"The wealth gathered by Jamsetji Tata and his sons in half a century of industrial pioneering formed but a minute fraction of the amount by which they enriched the nation. The whole of that wealth is held in trust for the people and used exclusively for their benefit. The cycle is thus complete; what came from the people has gone back to the people many times over."
– J R D Tata

The Tata group has a long tradition of community service and a strong sense of corporate social responsibility (CSR). We at CMC are committed to honouring this heritage and improving the quality of life of the communities we operate in.

We work closely with the Tata Council of Community Initiatives (TCCI) to initiate programmes for development, education and healthcare. We have set up a Core Committee for Corporate Social Responsibility to spearhead our efforts to integrate CSR concerns into the company's values, culture, operations and business decisions, at all levels of the organisation.

The CSR committee's key focus currently is education and healthcare for students and physically and mentally challenged individuals, especially those belonging to economically and socially under-privileged sections of society. To facilitate the implementation of these initiatives, regional teams have been set up under the chairmanship of general managers.

With the cooperation of Maitree, an organisation of CMC and TCS employees and their families, and CMC's Staff Recreational Club, the CSR committee has already launched a number of important initiatives in the area of IT education, awareness programmes / seminars, and blood and eye donation camps. The committee is also supporting non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and institutes working for the blind and spastics.
