HISTORY

The year 1930 was when the world suffered the great depression. Companies across the globe began closing down. In UK and in India, the textile industry in particular was in trouble. At about this time, Mahatma Gandhi championed the Swadeshi Movement and at his call, people from all across India began boycotting fine and superfine fabrics, which had so far been imported from England. In the midst of this depression one family saw opportunity. The Lalbhais reasoned that the demand for fine and superfine fabrics still existed. And any Indian company that met this demand would surely prosper. The three brothers, Kasturbhai, Narottambhai and Chimanbhai, decided to set up a mill to produce superfine fabric. Next they looked around for state-of-the-art machinery that could produce such high quality fabric. Their search ended in England. The best technology of that time was acquired at a most attractive price. And a company called Arvind Limited was born. Arvind Limited started with a share capital of Rs 2,525,000 ($55,000) in the year 1931. With the aim of manufacturing the high-end superfine fabrics Arvind invested in very sophisticated technology. With 52,560 ring spindles, 2552 doubling spindles and 1122 looms it was one of the few companies in those days to start along with spinning and weaving facilities in addition to full-fledged facilities for dyeing, bleaching, finishing and mercerizing. The sales in the year 1934, three years after establishment were Rs 45.76 lakh and profits were Rs 2.82 lakh. Steadily producing high quality fabrics, year after year, Arvind took its place amongst the foremost textile units in the country. In the mid 1980s the textile industry faced another major crisis. With the power loom churning out vast quantities of inexpensive fabric, many large composite mills lost their markets, and were on the verge of closure. Yet that period saw Arvind at its highest level of profitability. There could be no better time, concluded the Management, for a rethink on strategy. The Arvind management coined a new word for it new strategy Reno vision. It simply meant a new way of looking at issues, of seeing more than the obvious and that became the corporate philosophy. The national focus paved way for international focus and Arvinds markets shifted from domestic to global, a market that expected and accepted only quality goods. An in-depth analysis of the world textile market proved an eye opener. People the world over were shifting from synthetic to natural fabrics. Cottons were the largest growing segments. But where conventional wisdom pointed to popular priced segments, Reno vision pointed to high quality premium niches. Thus in 1987-88 Arvind entered the export market for two sections -Denim for

leisure & fashion wear and high quality fabric for cotton shirting and trousers. By 1991 Arvind reached 1600 million meters of Denim per year and it was the third largest producer of Denim in the world. In 1997 Arvind set up a state-of-the-art shirting, gabardine and knits facility, the largest of its kind in India, at Santej. With Arvinds concern for environment a most modern effluent treatment facility with zero effluent discharge capability was also established. Year 2005 was a watershed year for textiles. With the muliti-fiber agreement getting phased out and the disbanding of quotas, international textile trade was poised for a quantum leap. In the domestic market too, the rationalizing of the cenvat chain and the growth of the organized retail industry was likely to make textiles and apparel see an explosive growth. Arvind has carved out an aggressive strategy to verticalize its current operations by setting up worldscale garmenting facilities and offering a one-stop shop service, by offering garment packages to its international and domestic customers. With Lee, Wrangler, Arrow and Tommy Hilfiger and its own domestic brands of Flying Machine, Newport, Excalibur and Ruf & Tuf, Arvind set its vision of becoming the largest apparel brands company in India.

(A) lalbhai rural development fund

Established in 1978, NLRDF is the rural CSR arm of the company. The Trust directly intervenes in the development process at the village level. The present operational area in 16 districts of Gujarat state reaches out to a population of about 25000. NLRDFs strategy has been to link government programs with the rural poor and thereby increasing the efficiency and the effectiveness of the delivery process. Except contextual differences, the needs of the rural poor are very similar to the needs of the urban poor. Poor quality of education, and unemployment, are the banes of rural India. Consequently, the rural areas need vocational programs so that the poorly educated and unemployed youth can find better job prospects in nearby cities. Similarly, the poor children living in rural areas need a better infrastructure in their schools. Finally, the rural poor need help including financial help, for improving the yields in their farms so that they can improve their earnings. NLRDF has designed its programs to fill these needs. Vocational Programs for rural poor The Khedbrahma Taluka of Gujarats Sabarkantha district is a tribal and a hilly area. Except agriculture, there are no industries that can provide promising career opportunities for the rural youth who are poorly educated and have no

marketable skills. Consequently, unemployment is a major problem facing the youth of that region. The irony is that Arvind Limited located in nearby Ahmedabad, is desperately looking for young persons with minimum educational qualifications to work in their garment factory. In this situation, we in NLRDF saw a unique opportunity to help the poor youth in the Khedbrahma taluka. NLRDFs team requested the Arvind Limited to provide training for about sixty youth from the Taluka for working in the companys garment factory. The company readily agreed to do so. Now these sixty young persons are working in the companys garment factory and earning a regular monthly income. More than earning a regular income, these young persons have found a direction for improving their career. If this experiment succeeds, the NLRDF would get more young persons from nearby rural areas to work in the citys emerging garment industry. Upgrading the infrastructure in a rural primary school The existing class room of a school in a village is old unsuitable for teaching the schools children studying in classes I, II, III, and IV. In the monsoon, rain water leaks into the schools building. Also, the school is short of space for teaching the growing number of children in the area. To meet this crying need for a better infrastructure, the NLRDF constructed in a nearby primary school, a room with RCC structure. In addition, the NLRDF provided the minimum teaching material and equipment that a school needs. After completion of the classroom, the NLRDF handed over to the school the better-equipped classroom Helping the rural poor in improving the yields in their farms Non-availability of good quality seeds and poor irrigation facilities impede the productivity of agriculture in rural India. Realizing this need, the NLRDF team provided improved Seeds to sixty-six families in the Tandalia village. These improved seed resulted in better-quality and higher yield for the farmers and required the farmers to use less quantity of water in their farms. Consequently, the productivity of their farms improved. This experience of using better seeds motivated farmers to use good quality seeds in the future. In addition, the team supplied vegetable-seeds to the Self Help Groups of women in the area for their kitchen gardens. The Khedbrahma taluka of Gujarats Sabarkantha district, as we have pointed out above, is a hilly area. Consequently, the land of the area is extremely uneven and therefore, the rain water does not percolate. Obviously, the water table in the region is very low leading to poor crop yields. To remedy the situation, we

decided to reduce the slope of the land. For doing so, we cut and filled the slopes, making the topography of the land less uneven. Upgrading the infrastructure in a rural schools The existing school buildings in villages Laxmipura, Kalol Naka and Tandalia in Sabarkanta district were old and unsuitable for teaching the schools children. Also, the school was short of space for teaching the growing number of children in the area. To meet this crying need for a better infrastructure, the NLRDF upgraded existing infrastructure and also constructed classrooms. In addition, the NLRDF provided the minimum teaching material and equipment that a school needed. After completion of the classroom, the NLRDF handed over to the school the better-equipped classroom. Training Widows for Entrepreneurship NLRDF is recognized by the Government of Gujarat as the lead institution to train widows in different entrepreneurial trainings. During 200711, in the area of entrepreneurship training, NLRDF has trained 9600 widows in 16 districts of Gujarat. They were motivated for their own small businesses or service oriented skills to earn more for their livelihood. The biggest benefit that our Trainee widows got was the self-confidence. Another noticeable gain from this program is that they could step out of their houses confidently, which they could not do earlier. Promoting Biogas Other major contribution of NLRDF is to motivate people in rural areas to adopt biogas as an alternative source of energy. We helped install 962 bio gas plants in three districts of Gujarat namely Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts.

Participation in National Aids Control Program

Under National Aids Control Programme, NLRDF has brought remarkable change in the practices and behavior of the target group for HIV/AIDS control. The efforts of the Trust have been recognized by the Expert External Evaluators of the program and they have rated our performance as Very Good leading to our inclusion among top 5 NGOs in the State for 2009-10. We are working with 1050 key population of urban areas of Himmatnagar, Idar, and Khedbrahma of Sabarkanta District.

(B) Ornic cotton project & bci

Organic Cotton Project was born from a need to create value through innovation across the supply chain particularly in the area of raw material cotton. Arvind is a leading cotton textile manufacturer based in India with a significant global presence. With its dominance across the textile value chain, the company endeavors to be a one-stop shop for leading apparel brands. In order to complete the supply chain, Arvind has forayed into organic cotton production through contract farming model in order to source organic cotton that is of high quality; and a socio-environmental need to sustain cotton farming production in a socially fair manner that promotes the rural economy and creates a healthy ecosystem. Mission To encourage a transition from conventional fibre cultivation to an organic farming system by extending support and coordinating the dissemination of knowledge in a socially fair manner, this will promote the rural economy and create a healthy ecosystem. Vision To promote a vibrant rural economy that is driven by the sustainable growth of agriculture.

Objectives

To develop and promote a business model that is environmentally sustainable To improve farm productivity and farmer incomes To enhance biodiversity of the rural landscape To develop a lasting social infrastructure and support system in the region

Organic Cotton Farming The cotton crop esentially requires a lot of water and extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As such, it has a dramatic impact on the quality of the soil, and moreover, on the environment. Organic cotton farming is the process of growing cotton naturally without the use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The only additives come in the form of organic manures, and the soil quality is controlled by means of rotational crops. The impact on the environment is reduced drastically, producing clean and safe cotton while creating a sustainable cycle. Organic farming is best suited for marginal farms with poor quality of soil. Arvind is working closely with the farmers of the Vidarbha region in Akola to grow organic cotton. This initiative has helped to improve the livelihood of the farmers by dramatically increasing their per-acre income. A direct buying-at-doorstep policy and a seven day payment cycle, along with an elimination of all forms of exploitation by middlemen, has further helped improve the farmers income levels. What started out as a small project now encompasses 27,000 acres of farmland employing nearly 3,700 farmers. All the organic cotton produced at these organic farms is certified by the Control Union Certification, Netherlands. Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) With a focus on securing more and more sustainable cotton sources, we have closely involved ourselves with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a Swiss association working to reduce environmental and social impacts of cotton growing . The concept is to grow cotton with very carefully controled application of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, dramatically reducing the environmental footprint of cotton farming. These techniques work well in fertile and irrigated regions where organic farming is not economically viable. To ensure compliance, the BCI closely monitors and approves the farming practices carried out. Arvind initiated the first BCI approved project in India. The project covers over 10,000 acres of farmlands and involves working closely with nearly 1200 farmers. The project size is set to double within the next financial year

(C) Overview
Arvind prides its participation in works that contribute to the betterment of society. Arvinds CSR philosophy is based on the notion that society and the corporation are inextricably linked, and that a company can improve its own functioning by influencing the environment in which it operates. It is this philosophy that transcends through all of Arvinds CSR initiatives. Education Through SHARDA Trust, the companys CSR vehicle, Arvind is committed to upgrading the standards of municipal schools in Ahmedabad and work towards building a pool of bright and employable youth. Today, over 900 students each year from five municipal schools benefit from the supplemental English, Mathematics and Computer education provided at our three learning centers that are equipped with state of the art facilities. Urban infrastructure Development of C G road Ahmedabads most popular street in a manner offers the urban dweller and visitor a clean, organized and enjoyable shopping/recreational experience. Upgrading slums Arvind in a partnership with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation developed a model to upgrade the slums of Ahmedabad. These slums house about 30% of the cities population that live in the most disadvantaged circumstances. In a highly documented and successful initiative a dwelling of over 181 hutments, housing 1200 people, was provided with improved surroundings and access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation facilities in individual houses Vocational Training We initiated vocational training programmes to enhance and develop the skill of unemployed youth and help them take up Garment Operative jobs within Arvind and other garmentmanufacturing firms in Ahmedabad. In another initiative, Arvind has organized Programmes in English and Computer Application equip students with relevant knowledge and skills and find suitable job openings for them. This enables the students to seek better employment and function effectively in their respective organizational roles.
