Corporate Social Responsibilty

1. Engr. Mohammad Ali Foundation (EMAF)

Engr: Mohammad Ali Foundation was founded in 2010 by the company for charitable works. The mission of this foundation is to give special privileges to students with high academic achievements and potentials every year. They are awarded with scholarships under EMAF so that they can further benefit their educational career for a better future. These scholarships are also awarded to under-privileged students from Dhaka University, Medical College and BUET.

JinnatulAfsarMohila College was established under Engr. Mohammad Ali Foundation (EMAF) by Mrs. Tahura Ali, MP and one of the Directors of our parent company, Citizen Cables Ltd. in the year of 2001. The location is at a very good atmosphere in the village ofNarundi, Jamalpur district. The mission of this college is to ensure remote area access to educate girls because we understand that almost 80% of the female population nationwide receives no education. The college hence offers free education for all.

In 2013, the college has been equipped with a science laboratory, an auditorium and a Hostel with the capacity to accomodate 26 students. At present the total number of students in Grade 11 and 12 are about 162, taught by qualified teachers. On average, 88% of students pass their HSC examination since inception.

EMAF sustains the total expenses of the college including remuneration to teachers and staff for the last 18 years. On the basis of the present and ongoing performance of the college, it has been listed in MPO by the Govt. effective from the year 2010.

EMAF provides treatment to the poor by arranging Medical Camp every year. Moreover, poor patients can get financial and all necessary support from the foundation.

The children’s park has been established in the same location of our home village Narundi, Jamalpur district.
