Sanmar Speciality Chemicals Limited (SSCL) has participated in quite a few developmental activities in and around Berigai village.
SSCL contributed towards the digging of two borewells at different locations in Berigai. The borewells constitute the main source of drinking water for the village.
The lake at Berigai, spread over about 60 acres, had not been de-silted for years. Drought conditions prevailing in the district resulted in the drying up of the lake which is the perennial source of water for habitation spread over a radius of 10 km. When the local panchayat initiated activities to de-silt the lake, SSCL donated Rs.1.20 lakh towards de-silting 9000 cubic metres of the lake. The cheque was handed over to the panchayat officials at a gathering on 16 May 2003.
SSCL has also made a vital contribution to the success of the scheme to provide midday meals for school children, when it constructed a kitchen for the Panchayat Union Primary School at Sulakunta. The kitchen was a long-felt need of the school.
