Community Relations Plan

An important aspect of our operation is the issue of community relation. At AKOM Survey Services Limited, we place high premium on strict observance of SHE regulations as part of our total quality assurance plan. Before any operation, we always make the establishment of a good working relationship with the host communities part of the first steps. In this connection,
the head of the technical crew is mandated to visit the relevant people and secure the necessary consent. It is important for us to let the community people understand the project on hand, decide for themselves that the project is in their interest and that the adverse effects on their community resources will be avoided or minimized. Along this line we always create opportunities for the employment of local labor and facilities. Not only this, we make provision for the development of community–based projects such as building of town hall, health centre, market stalls and roads depending on the nature and size of our operations in the area. We liaise with the heads of each community and the youth groups.
