Financial Year 2023-2024

Anganwadi Complex and Health Sub Centre redeveloped in Coimbatore

In April 2023, L&T MBDA Missile Systems (LTMMSL) identified two projects as part of its CSR initiative for FY24, with the support of the Coimbatore District Administration and Corporation. 

Rathinapuri is a densely populated area in the central part of the city of Coimbatore.  Overstretched, with a visible lack of maintenance of civic infrastructure, this area is home to over 45,000 people. A cluster of six Integrated Child Development Services Centres (ICDS Complex or Anganwadi Centres) cater to the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development needs of the children of this locality during their formative years.  Before redevelopment, this Decades old ICDS Complex comprised of four dilapidated structures with two of them serving as classrooms and kitchens.  Water logging was a regular phenomenon during the monsoon season.  Without any proper up-keep & maintenance, its condition was a deterrent for parents to send their wards to the Centres.  Those who attended regularly were susceptible to frequent ailments from the prevailing poor hygienic conditions.

The second project, a Health Sub Centre at Chinniyampalayam, serving four hamlets with a population of over 16,000, was being operated from a dilapidated structure.  The Department was unable to deliver basic health services owing to the limitation of the infrastructure. 

LTMMSL persuaded the State Government to allow the design and redevelopment of building infrastructure of both the ICDS Complex and Health Sub Centre differently from their standard approved designs. This proposal was a one-of-its kind redevelopment of infrastructure, with a design which could potentially act as a model for future developments by State Governments. The necessary approvals from the Coimbatore Corporation for the ICDS Complex and from the Health Deptartment for the Health Sub Centre were obtained and the construction began in September, 2023.

The redeveloped ICDS Complex boasts of a central podium with a large assembly area, spacious classrooms with extensive artworks along with furniture, a kitchen block, a toilet block for kids and teachers, clean drinking water facility, fire safety equipment, an office room for record keeping and play equipment.

The Health Sub Centre consists of a patient waiting area, a doctor’s room, a nurse station, a 3-bed capacity ward and a private patient room on the ground floor with an open terrace for yoga practice and staff nurse quarters on the first floor.

The redeveloped ICDS Complex and Health Sub Centre, which were handed over to the District Administration on February 29, 2024, will bring a much-needed improvement in education and health infrastructure to the area.

Financial Year 2022-2023

Government Primary School, Vinobha Nagar, Kitampalaym, Coimbatore

In April, 2022, L&T MBDA Missile Systems Limited (LTMMSL), operating from a SEZ in Coimbatore, engaged with a local NGO to conduct a Participatory Rural Appraisal in Vinobha Nagar within Kittampalayam Village.  This exercise brought out the inadequacy of basic infrastructure in the Panchayat Union Primary School as the primary need of Vinobha Nagar residents.  The school, with over 60 students studying from Std. I to Std. V, was functioning from a single-room building due to lack of infrastructure.  The school also lacked sanitation facilities and a set up for effectively implementing the Noon Meal Scheme of the Govt. 

LTMMSL, as part of its CSR initiative for 2022-23, extended support to this Govt. School to make the School more student-friendly and to contribute to their holistic development. Necessary permissions from local bodies were obtained and the project execution began in Sept. 2022.

On March 3, 2023, the extended & renovated School was handed over by Mr. Ravi P Kataria, Chief Executive, LTMMSL, to the Chairman of Sulur Block and the Kittampalayam Panchayat President.  The Sulur Block Development Officer, other elected representatives and Vinobha Nagar residents in large number attended the school handover ceremony, which was followed by a cultural programme. 

LTMMSL undertook the following activities to improve the infrastructure at the school:

• Renovated the old single-classroom school building and integrated it with the newly constructed block with three additional classrooms, taking the total capacity to five classrooms
• Constructed a toilet block with separate sanitation facilities for girls and boys
• Repaired & painted the old sanitation facilities and renovated the hand-wash facility
• Repaired & painted the noon meal centre, and converted the old, dilapidated noon meal centre to be used as a storeroom
• Provided classroom furniture items such as tables, benches, book shelves etc. as well as play equipment such as swings and slides
• Improved the assembly-cum-playground area with demarcations, landscaping around the periphery of the school and constructed an open podium
• Visual artworks (Drawings, Paintings, etc.) all around to develop good habits, complement teaching & learning methods and to improve the overall aesthetics.
