To date, NE India has carried out a variety of social contribution activities 
such as donating relief aid to areas affected by floods and constructing and 
donating washroom facilities for schools. In addition, the company has been 
examining activities in which its employees can participate and "work up a good 
sweat." 
Based on suggestions from employees, the company has designated the fifth 
Saturdays of the month, which occur several times each year, as a "day for 
activities," and it started implementing the activities on a company-wide basis 
in June. Employees are able to participate in the activities as long as doing 
so does not interfere with their ordinary operations, and the company has 
introduced a support system to make it easier for employees to participate.
The company's main branches have been holding discussions, and its employees 
have been independently planning the content of activities. As a result, about 
80% of all employees participated in activities on the fifth Saturdays of June 
and August.

 meals, donating toys, and planting trees)
