Although the World Economic Forum's 2018 Global Gender Gap Report states gender equality is more than 200 years away, Tata Power-DDL has been constantly working with its various initiatives and policies in and around its work-sphere to bridge the gap. Tata Power-DDL has also been committed towards gender parity at work by recognising the diverse strength women bring to the organisation and curating workplace policies that are geared towards empowering the women employees.

Tata Power-DDL has been committed towards gender equality in the society and have taken several steps towards women empowerment. The company is working tirelessly in 220+ JJ clusters in its power distribution area of North and North-west Delhi to provide empowerment to women. Tata Power-DDL’s women literacy programme has helped more than 21,000+ women annually. Tata Power-DDL has also been awarded SKOCH Order of Merit & Silver Award 2016 for “Empowering Women Beyond Boundaries”.

During the inauguration Mr. Sanjay Banga, CEO, Tata Power-DDL said, Empowerment of Women means ensuring they have equal opportunities and the freedom to decide and control their careers and lives. It means giving them the choice to chart their own careers, enhance their skill sets and manage challenging assignments. I strongly believe every step towards bridging the gap, whether big or small, will help reach the milestone faster and help create and empower the next generation of female leaders. I’m sure our All-women Customer Care Centre will encourage more organisations to promote their women employees take challenging roles and excel in the same.
