RECRUITMENT
GRADUATE ENGINEER TRAINEES L&T's amazing growth story has been possible because of the fresh talent that flows in from engineering campuses. The top management believes in transforming fresh graduate engineers into future leaders by making them go through the crucible of challenging assignments. The belief is strengthened by the fact that most of the business leaders in L&T have joined as trainees and have grown up the ladder. The inflow of graduate engineering trainees (GETs) from campuses has seen a steady increase over the past few years. This is evident from the increase in offers in campuses (refer graph below)
The scenario for the future is very positive with businesses growing at a steady pace. The demand for fresh talent is on the increase and we are looking for bright engineering talent to partner us in this growth story. The plan is to add at least 40% more to the next year's figures.

21
Larsen and Toubro Ltd. areas such as team building, performance feedback, infrastructure, work life balance, fun at work, etc. L&T offers training programmes for developing technical, behavioral and managerial skills. Efforts are constantly made to align these to competency needs and enlarge the range of offerings. In consultation with IIMs, L&T has redesigned its Management Development programmes to suit current business needs. Last year, L&T had started an learning portal called ATL Any Time Learning.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
22
Larsen and Toubro Ltd. No plan can be successful without adequate and appropriate leadership. This is even more critical considering the current talent shortage. To achieve our aspirations, especially in the longer term, L&T has initiated a structured leadership development program to develop leaders more, better, faster for not only meeting near-term challenges but also for creating a pool of leaders to take on larger responsibilities in future. If people are critical in the present scheme of things, they will have an even more vital role in the future as L&T accelerates its knowledge thrust. Tomorrow, the bar is going to be raised higher, the canvas of opportunity will grow wider and the demands more daunting. But L&T is confident that its talent will triumph. And we will redeem our pledge. As the Companys anthem puts it: Jiski mitti se paida huay hum, karz hum us zameen ka chukaye.
TALENT ATTRACTION
23
Larsen and Toubro Ltd. L&T offers the opportunity to be a part of a dynamic team in energy charged environment. L&T has recruited over 1000 Graduate Engineer and Diploma Engineer Trainees during the year from over 300 engineering colleges across the country. L&T also recruited experienced candidates laterally, particularly for the middle management level. This exercise is backed by a systematic Manpower Budgeting process in line with the business needs of the Company.
24
Larsen and Toubro Ltd. Beyond the balance sheet lies another story of L&Ts achievements. And that is because beyond the countrys accelerated economic growth indices lies another India. This is an India that moves haltingly from an unhappy past to an unwelcoming future, an India whose native talent goes a begging for want of opportunity. Its an India populated by men, women and children who witness from afar the miracle of economic transformation but seem never privileged enough to participate in it. It is this other India to which L&T also remains committed.
L&T is conscious of the fact that while striving for profitable growth, it must assume the larger responsibility of being responsive to the society we live in. L&T believes that sustainable development initiatives are those which are targeted towards meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. In the year under review, L&T supplemented its CSR activities through special initiatives in homage to co-founder Henning Holck-Larsen, whose birth centenary was celebrated companywide.

Immunization drives play a crucial role in preventing disease. Mobile health clinics extend the reach of L&Ts health services. A priority is mother-and-child care. Extending the reach of these services, seven new centers were opened in Mumbai during 2007-08. Countrywide, around two hundred health camps targeted specific diseases and specific groups. Health services were provided to the children through regular health camps. More than 14000 children underwent eye screening in a special project at Coimbatore. 1630 family planning operations were conducted through family planning camps in Surat and for tribal population in Ahwa Dangs in Gujarat. Of these, 886 were vasectomies. HIV/AIDS awareness, care & support continue to be a thrust area. L&T regularly organizes HIV/AIDS awareness and counseling camps for mobile populations like migrant workers at construction sites. L&T contributes to improving healthcare, education, safety and to the welfare & development of the L&T family and community in which it operates.
EDUCATION
26
When they enter L&Ts skill training centers, they are school dropouts and unemployed youths. When they come out, they are professionals who have found their future. L&Ts skill training centers are engines of social change. Even more importantly, skill training is somewhat of a life transforming experience giving youth self-belief and helping them win back the respect of very society which had considered them misfits. The Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust conducts skill training at Mumbai, Lonavala, Aurangabad, Latur and Kharel. In addition, L&T runs Construction Skills Training Institutes at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi and Panvel. These are the bricks that will build the mansion where the future citizens of our country will reside ... small but significant steps in building the India of our dreams.
