Nishat Chunian Group

We are committed to contributing and caring for the community in which we operate. In this regard, Nishat is well aware of its social responsibility for employee welfare and development. The group covers housing and medical expenses for its employees and also provides schooling for their children. The group also provides recreational and sports facilities for the resident employees at production premises. Nishat has also established a school and a hospital under the Mian Mohammad Yahya Trust, at a cost of around US$ 700,000. The trust is sponsored by Nishat Chunian Limited and members of the sponsors' family. The high school opened in 2000 for the employees' children and general public of the area; has a staff of around 40 teachers and offers education to 400 students. The hospital has also been constructed in the vicinity of the plant; enabling local population to get immediate medical attention instead of traveling to the nearest city. Around 80 patients are treated daily in the hospital by a staff of around 30 people which includes 6 qualified doctors. In 2009, our employees set up a fund of US $ 35,000 with their donations for setting up a relief camp for about 500 internally displaced people of Swat. The camp was managed with the help of Pakistan Army and locals of the area. We provided tents, water supplies, washrooms, food storage and all basic necessities of life. The camp continued for almost 3 months and was regarded one of the best managed facilities for the internally displaced people. After the floods of 2010 in Pakistan, our employees took active part in the relief efforts for the rehabilitation of flood victims. The relief efforts included a medical camp at Kot Adhu plus a month's supply of basic necessity goods for about 100 families. These goods were distributed in the areas that were cut off from other parts of the country due to excessive flooding and the aid was flown into those areas through helicopters provided by the Pakistan Army. Bedding Supplies were also provided for about 80 families. Total donations amounted to approximately US $ 25,000.
