What can you do about inclusion as an individual? Think, if sign language is the only way that you can communicate with a deaf child. Will you invest some time to create an inclusive world for children who cannot hear and speak? Tata Communication volunteers along with their family organised a virtual session to learn the basics of sign language.
Volunteers also recorded and submit a small motivational sign language video that will be shared with the NGO's beneficiaries. 100 volunteers and 23 family members participated in the session actively.

As urban citizens, we are constantly disconnected from nature and the environment. Growing your own food and relishing nature’s bounties within your home environment is a great experience and is much more sustainable than buying them from the supermarket as it means less food waste, no packaging and zero transport emissions.
Volunteers from Tata Communications alongwith their family members joined for an interesting volunteering initiative to learn how to grow a kitchen garden. Volunteers also created seed pots with the plastic waste and placed the same in the common parks near their community. About 682 volunteers and 182 Family members participated in this activity.

Tentuldanga is a village that falls under Municipality Ward No-1 amidst a long forest patch. A total of 62 households and about 700 total population lives in the WARD. Labour and milk selling is the primary occupation of the village. The literacy rate is abysmally low. Since, there was no proper roads in the village, students find it difficult to cross the jungle and opt for higher study. Hence, high dropouts especially among girls are evident. One-third of the population is below the poverty line. The housing pattern majorly is thatched with average cattle population in the village as well. All the issues were revealed during the interaction and transect walk led by Mr. Vilas Gaikwad, Senior General Manager, Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) along with volunteering team of Tata Steel Long Products Officers. Through this interaction, volunteers were able to identify few key concerns of villagers and documented the same.
