South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL) has achieved a significant milestone with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, ‘SECL Ke Sushrut,’ becoming the first and only CSR scheme of any coal PSU under the Ministry of Coal to be listed on the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) portal of the Government of India. This achievement reflects
SECL’s commitment to enhancing educational accessibility through transparent and efficient delivery mechanisms.
The DBT initiative, launched by the Government of India, aims to reform the delivery of benefits and subsidies by directly transferring funds to beneficiaries’ bank accounts, minimizing leakages, and ensuring effective utilization of resources. At present, the DBT portal features approximately 325 schemes from 55 ministries, covering diverse sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and social welfare.
