BACKGROUND ABOUT CEMENT INDUSTRY During 70s & 80s scenario was bad.

On the shop floors of cement industries workers & engineers had their faces covered with dust. Health conditions of these employees were bad. Even the farms were affected. We want to build the best cement plant in the world in terms of technology, environmental stewardship, employee welfare & community well being.
