Our Social Activity
CSR
Citters Social support in agriculture and labor of rural folks, women & youth are important for the well-being of our farmers, workers, and their communities.
Today and for the Future, the basic concern of the people in rural areas is SURVIVAL. Many of them
are BYPASSED by whatever economic progress has been attained. More than 800 million of these
people do not have enough food to meet their basic nutritional needs. If development is to take
place and become self-sustaining, it will have to START in the RURAL AREAS in general and the
AGRICULTURAL SECTOR in particular.
Poor laborers in India face low wages, poor working conditions, and a lack of social security. It is found that children of most workers drop out from schools. The Indian construction industry, often touted as a backbone of the nation’s development, stands on the sweat and toil of its workers. One of the most pressing issues in the Indian construction industry is the abysmally low wages earned by labourers. All of them struggle to make ends meet for themselves and their families, living hand-to-mouth despite their tireless efforts. The lack of concern for their well-being not only jeopardises their lives but also leaves them vulnerable to injuries and health issues. due to their working and living conditions. The absence of fixed employment contracts adds to their woes, leaving them in a perpetual state of uncertainty about their livelihood. Urgent reforms are needed to ensure fair compensation, support, medical insurance and job security for these individuals who have no choice.

Our Work
The construction industry in India is one of the largest employment generators in the country, second only to agriculture. However, the working conditions of these labourers are often inhumane and unsafe. These workers are forced to work in unsafe and pitiable conditions from no access to safe water or food, nor sleeping arrangements and in the hot and unsafe working conditions make them sick. Many lose their health as they get older, and some who lose their lives as a result of these conditions. The lack of education also perpetuates this cycle of poverty, ensuring that the next generation will continue to work in the same conditions.
Crafting a Winning Strategy and Execution with a driving force to bring about change in how the construction industry has the potential to improve the lives of millions of people in India is our work as 'N A N B A N!'
The Pathetic Condition
The construction industry in India is one of the largest employment generators in the country, second only to agriculture. However, the working conditions of these laborers are often inhumane and unsafe, particularly for those who come from states like Bihar, UP, Jharkhand, and Odisha. These workers are forced to work in unsafe conditions, often with their families and young children who accompany them.
Women workers and their children face the most trouble. There are no schools for children, no access to safe water or food, and the hot and unsafe working conditions make them sick. Many lose their lives as a result of these conditions. The lack of education also perpetuates this cycle of poverty, ensuring that the next generation will continue to work in the same conditions.
Site safety and security are practically non-existent, leading to many deaths. Insurance is not provided, so families fall into debt traps. Medical facilities are not available on site, and workers are not provided with PF/ESI benefits.
Workers are typically accommodated in shanties with tin sheet roofs, dark and dingy rooms with no ventilation or toilet facilities. With no cooking facilities, they have to cook on the road or inside the premises using wood.
Despite the profits that real estate players earn by selling properties at high rates, they do not provide basic health, hygiene, or safe working environments to these people. The daily wages for these workers are often as low as 300-500 Rs, while the person who employs them might be charging the builder 700-1000 Rs, taking a significant commission for themselves.
The construction industry has the potential to improve the lives of millions of people in India. By advocating for better working conditions for construction workers, we can make a difference in the lives of these individuals and their families.
