      Fiinovation – Webinar on Poverty, Climate Change & Affirmative Action

      Poverty, Climate Change & Affirmative Action – 19th May 2016

      Eradication of poverty has been the major focus of the UN member countries from past three decades. Despite significant efforts, a large segment of the world population still lives below the UN poverty line of $1.25 per day. One major threat to the efforts of poverty eradication is the growing concerns of global warming. Already the consequences of climate change can be seen with unpredictable weather changes, insufficient rains, severe droughts and the fast melting glaciers. India is probably facing the worst water crisis and affecting not only the people and economy but also livestock and cattle which are valuable assets for the poor farmers. Understanding the gravity of the situation it can be said that India needs to focus not only on mitigating risks of climate change but also ensure development of opportunities to reduce vulnerability of the poor.

      It is an established fact that the historically marginalised are majorly the one entangled in the circle of poverty and the most vulnerable to climate change. Understanding the role of corporations in mitigating the risks of climate change and promotion of affirmative action, the webinar suggests models of development which can be replicated to strengthen the marginalised communities.

      Fiinovation – Webinar on Affirmative Action and Livelihood Promotion

      Promoting Livelihood Through Affirmative Action & CSR – 15th March 2016

      Based on the fact that majority of the people below the poverty line belong to the backward communities, it is important to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for them through development initiatives. As these communities remain vulnerable due to lack of opportunities, skills, education, finance, etc. they keep entangling themselves in the vicious circle of poverty. Livelihood generation for these communities remain a cause of concern with widespread discrimination, climate change, no social security and other such constraints. Therefore, the alignment between the affirmative action, CSR and livelihood is crucial to not only target the right beneficiaries but also eradication of poverty.

      If the SC/ST communities are provided with adequate skill, infrastructure, resources and finance, it will help India achieve the set national goals of skill development, inclusive growth and higher GDP. Keeping in mind the role of corporations in generation of employment opportunities for the communities, the webinar will focus on the need to promote livelihood initiatives through affirmative action and CSR. The webinar also highlights the benefits of inclusive development and how corporations can lead the change.
