ejunction joins hands with TATA Steel to empower more lives
From its very beginning, the principal objective of ejunction has been to support, train and uplift the specially-abled and financially challenged sections of society. In order to further this endeavour that we have so lovingly nurtured, we have always been on the lookout for partners who can share this vision of ours and assist us as we keep turning it into reality. And today mjunction has found one more worthy partner in TATA Steel.
Moving a step further in our vision to reach out to more and more special people and to make a difference to their lives, ejunction tied up with TATA Steel to conduct classes from their Kasidih Community Centre in Jamshedpur. Members of ejunction trust were in Jamshedpur for the inauguration of the course last week. The event also saw Mr Sanjay, Head, Urban Services along with employees and volunteers from mjunction and TATA Steel in attendance.
Under this latest venture by ejunction, under-privileged youth, specifically from the backward community will go through the four-month ejunction course wherein they will be trained in basic computer and communication skills. 17 trainers from our Jamshedpur branch, along with 3 from TATA Steel have volunteered for the program which has seen 40 eager students register so far.
Heartiest thanks to Mr Anup Chand Lal for spearheading the initiative and ensuring its smooth coordination and implementation. We also thank Mr Tonmoy Ghole for volunteering as coordinator for the classes.
We are very happy that this initiative of ours has now touched shores afar. Let us all pledge to do our bit to give those less fortunate than us a chance at eLitracy – the ejunction way.

“Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.”
Today, two of our pioneering ideas have found pride of place in TATA Sphere’s commemorative edition on “TATA Accomplishments in a Decisive Decade”.
• 2007: autojunction launching India’s first auto eRetailing services
• 2009: coaljunction launching the first-ever forward eAuction of coal in India
We are proud to have been recognized in this manner in the April ’11 issue of TATA Sphere.
So let us celebrate this recognition of our spirit of innovation by adding more such accomplishments in the years to come.
There are no dreams too large, no innovation unimaginable and no frontiers beyond our reach.

Ignorance is bliss
International Day of Persons with Disabilities is annually observed on the 3rd of December, with an objective to promote an awareness of disability issues, the fundamental rights of persons with disabilities and integration of persons with disabilities into the main stream, as declared by the UN General Assembly in the year 1982. Around 10% of the world’s population, or 650 million people, live with disabilities and this day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. We were not even aware of this.But as is rightly said 'ignorance is bliss". On that very day, we took two important steps, while being totally unaware of its significance. On 3rd December, 2010, Ms Sudipta Dey Sarkar, a specially-abled trainee of ejunction joined us. She will be developing databases for our B2C businesses. As Sudipta is unable to travel alone, the company has now extended the bus services to her for free. This was done so as to encourage her to travel alone.
What we find now is that both these initiatives fulfil the policy objectives of the United Nations - "integration of persons with disabilities into the main stream". It goes on to show the passion and commitment with which we nurture our Corporate social sustainability initiatives.
That's the mj spirit which we are proud of...that's the spirit which keeps us going!

Happy to share that two specially-abled students trained by ejunction were recently absorbed by the Indian Railways while 5 trainees have joined the SREI group in their MIS Dept.
On behalf of the ejunction trust, I would like to convey my heartiest thanks to all the volunteers for contributing to the growth of this initiative.
