    It is good to see the recognition of CSR activities at the International forum, a dynamic organization can go beyond top line, bottom line concept, the results are reflection of unstinted support of the top management & clinical precision execution by the team at delivering the aspiration of the unaspired flock of the society

    We are sure GAIL CSR initiatives will leave a positive footprint in millions life’s.

  7. यह हम सब के लिए बहुत गर्व का विषय है। कल का सुनहरा भविष्य हम सब भारतीयों लिए सुखद हो।

  8. I must agree with the comments above.
    However, I personally feel that charity should not be advertised. Again, what was the award for? Not for the work we did, but for the quality of the creative work behind the advertisement. By doing this, we have stooped one more step: not only did we advertise our charity works, but also we competed for an award for the advertisement!
    May be I am old fashioned, hence my above view.

  9. What I liked – Wonderful and eye catching initiatives taken by GAIL for helping poor people
    Secondly, I liked the hihgly informative Slogan – We know – Tomorrow is yours
    Thirdly, Thrilling, Smiling, Eye Catching – Black & White Photographs of the Advt.
    It is very difficult to find out any dislikes.

    समाज सेवा के लिये सबसे बेहतर प्रक्रिया है

  11. thanks for your feedback and sorry to know that you feel this way. We appreciate your views. However the given CSR based advt campaign was meant to have a human connect to make people understand our brand promise. the same theme was taken up in the subsequent advertisements where we have said “When Indian becomes Energy Secured in Greener ways, we know Tomorrow Is Yours”.
