Local Partnerships, Lasting Impact: Our CSR Commitment

At Shrestha Energy Solution, we believe that real progress goes beyond building infrastructure—it’s about building communities. Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is deeply rooted in local partnerships, because we know that lasting impact starts with empowering the people we serve.

From the early planning stages of a hydropower project to its full operation, our focus remains clear: uplift lives, support sustainable growth, and protect the environment.

Why Local Partnerships Matter

Nepal’s diverse communities are the backbone of our nation. They are the stewards of the rivers we harness and the land we work on. That’s why we prioritize collaboration with local governments, community leaders, and civil society organizations at every level of our work.

Through mutual trust and shared responsibility, we:

• Identify real needs on the ground
• Develop tailored, community-based solutions
• Ensure ownership and long-term success of our CSR initiatives

Our Key CSR Focus Areas

🌱 Education & Youth Development

We believe the future belongs to the youth. That’s why we support local schools through:

• Scholarship programs
• Infrastructure upgrades
• Learning materials and technology support

🏥 Health & Sanitation

Healthy communities are strong communities. Our initiatives have included:

• Organizing free health camps
• Supporting local health posts
• Promoting clean water and hygiene awareness

🛤 Local Infrastructure Support

As we develop energy infrastructure, we also invest in:

• Road improvements
• Footbridges and walking paths
• Electrification for remote households

💼 Livelihood & Skill Building

We promote local employment and long-term economic inclusion by:

• Hiring locally during project phases
• Offering skill development and vocational training
• Supporting small businesses affected by development activities

Case Study: Community Engagement at Upper Seti 1 (13 MW)

Our flagship Upper Seti 1 Hydropower Project is a model of inclusive development. Early on, we formed a local coordination committee to maintain continuous dialogue with residents. This resulted in:

• Job creation for over 100 locals during construction
• School renovation funded by project proceeds
• Tree-planting drives to offset environmental impact

Sustainability Through Shared Growth

Our CSR programs are not short-term charity—they’re designed for long-term sustainability. We work alongside the communities, not above them, ensuring they benefit from the energy we produce, the jobs we create, and the growth we generate.

We measure our impact not just in megawatts, but in lives improved, futures secured, and trust earned.

Looking Ahead

As we expand our energy portfolio across Nepal, our commitment to CSR remains stronger than ever. By deepening our local partnerships and listening to the communities around us, we aim to leave behind more than just power plants—we aim to leave behind stronger, more resilient communities.

Conclusion

CSR at Shrestha Energy Solution is about more than responsibility—it’s about relationship. It’s about building something together that lasts far beyond any project. Because real power isn’t just what lights up a city—it’s what uplifts its people.
