Many areas of operations of CIL's subsidiaries are home to significant population of backward population including Scheduled Castes. To ensure that the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities of CIL benefit the peripheral residents the most, it has been made mandatory in the CSR policy to spend at least 80% of the CSR fund every year within a radius of 25 kms. of mines/project sites/establishments. The estimated population residing in this radius in all the operating districts is 3.56 cr. out of which approximately 54 lakh belong to SC community.

The major activities undertaken in these places are in the areas of Healthcare, Drinking water &  Sanitation,  Education,  Skill  development  &  Livelihood  enhancement,  Environmental sustainability & Conservation and Rural development. These activities improve the availability and access to basic infrastructure resulting in better quality of life for this population
