Technip India, a leading company in project management, engineering and construction for the Energy industry, has contributed Rs 30.82 lakhs to the Chief Minister Public Relief Fund in Tamilnadu towards flood affected people in Chennai.
Employees of the company collected Rs 10.41 lakh for the cause to which the company also contributed the same amount.
"Employees of our three operating centers, Mumbai along with Delhi and Chennai, voluntarily raised a fund of INR 10.41 lakhs and our company also decided to match the donation from employees and donated 10.41 lakh.
Moreover to this, we added an additional amount of Rs 10 lakhs to maximise the donation upto Rs 30.82 Lakhs and handed it over to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund last month," the company said in a statement here today.
Given the scale of disaster, Technip India Management team has also decided to allocate an emergency fund of Rs 75 lakh to provide necessary support to affected employees of Chennai centre.
"For this purpose, the company had formed a committee in the first week of December to review and conduct necessary due diligence for each application received from employee who were badly hit by torrential rains and flash floods," said the statement.
It also said that Technip, an MNC which has its India chapter headquarters in Mumbai, had engaged in charitable contributions for Uttarakhand deluge victims in 2013.
Describing that standing together to face a difficult period is the hallmark of the company, Bhaskar Patel, MD, Technip India, said, "it was disheartening to note that many of our colleagues in Chennai were severely affected by the unprecedented rain in hundred years in Tamil Nadu. Though in a small way but the fund has been very helpful for our 300 plus employees, agency and supporting staff.
