Kimbal Private Limited (formerly Sinhal Udyog Pvt. Ltd.,) India’s leading provider of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions, has been recognized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) as an Emerging Eco Organization for 2024-25. This recognition, awarded through the CII Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development, highlights Kimbal’s commitment to embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every aspect of its operations. From Kimbal Private Limited, the award was received by Kundan Kumar, Manager EHS, Gaurav Agarwal, VP Sales & Marketing, and Pragya Pallavi, Head of Marketing & Branding.

ESG at the Heart of Strategy

For Kimbal, ESG is a commitment that is central to their identity. With end-to-end smart metering solutions and a range of other energy management and energy efficiency solutions, Kimbal empowers utilities to reduce energy losses, integrate renewables, and lower their carbon footprints, thereby directly contributing to India’s clean energy transition goals.

“At Kimbal, ESG isn’t a side program–it’s how we design, build, and scale,” said Anirudh Sinhal, Leader of Innovation and Automation, Kimbal. “Every smart meter we ship is efficient, reliable, and responsibly made. This recognition by CII strengthens our resolve to drive sustainability impact at the intersection of energy, technology, and society.”

Protecting the Planet

Kimbal’s environmental actions are focused on compliance, conservation, and circularity. The company is advancing ISO 14001:2015 certification for environmental management and has implemented rainwater harvesting and zero-liquid-discharge practices at its mega plant. Tree plantation drives around factory premises and nearby communities are boosting biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Operationally, Kimbal leverages RoHS-compliant materials, recyclable packaging, and MES-driven monitoring of energy, water, and scrap. Kaizen programs continuously improve efficiency, while new electronic filtration systems cut down single-use waste. Looking ahead, Kimbal plans to expand its use of renewable electricity and integrate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to achieve more sustainable energy operations.

Empowering People and Communities

Kimbal is recognized as a Great Place to Work, reflecting its culture of trust, inclusivity, and safety. The company has established a 24×7 Occupational Health Centre, is advancing ISO 45001:2018 compliance, and conducts regular Gurukul training sessions to upskill frontline workers.

CSR initiatives are rooted in Surajpur, Greater Noida, home to many of Kimbal’s workforce. The company has equipped the local school with a science lab, library, and Kids Eco Club, while also offering self-defense training for girls and counseling sessions for students. The newly built basketball court brings sports and community pride to the area. Medical and eye camps, along with entrepreneurship and fashion training for youth, further strengthen health, confidence, and livelihoods.

Governance with Integrity

Robust governance practices ensure that ESG is built into Kimbal’s strategy. A Board-level ESG Committee oversees initiatives, while disclosures align with BRSR and EcoVadis frameworks. Anti-bribery and whistleblower protection policies maintain ethical standards, and cybersecurity measures are embedded across Kimbal’s AMI platforms to protect utility and consumer data.

Building a Sustainable Future

This recognition marks only the beginning of Kimbal’s ESG journey. The company remains committed to science-based targets, renewable energy expansion, and circular practices. Going forward, Kimbal will focus its efforts around key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals–Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Climate Action (SDG 13). By aligning with these global frameworks, Kimbal seeks to ensure that progress is measured not just in technological solutions deployed but in healthier, smarter, and more resilient communities.

Manupatra Hosts Nationwide Law Teachers Conclave to Strengthen Legal Education

World Circular — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 06:21:43 +0000

In its continued commitment to supporting the legal fraternity, Manupatra, a pioneer in legal technology, organized the Law Teachers Conclave across India’s East, West, North, and South regions in collaboration with leading law schools. This initiative aimed to enhance learning, development, and digital transformation in legal education.

By hosting the conclave at regional levels, Manupatra sought to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for educators nationwide. The conclaves were organized in partnership with:

1. West Region Law Teachers Conclave – in association with GNLU, Gandhinagar

2. South Region Law Teachers Conclave – in association with R.V. University, Bengaluru

3. North Region Law Teachers Conclave – in association with NLU, Delhi

4. East Region Law Teachers Conclave – in association with NLU, Odisha

The conclaves witnessed participation from over 1,200 law educators, including full-time, part-time, ad-hoc, and visiting faculty members from across India. These events were supported by the hosting universities and industry bodies such as SILF and GCAI.

With over 70 speakers and resource persons, the conclaves featured insightful discussions on a wide range of topics under the theme “Empowering Legal Educators for Tomorrow.”

Key Takeaways from the Conclave

The deliberations at the Manupatra Law Teachers Conclave highlighted critical challenges and advancements needed in legal education, including:

1. Integration of Technology in Legal Education – Law faculties require training in digital resources and innovative teaching methodologies to enhance student learning outcomes.

2. Pedagogical Enhancements – There is a need to transition from traditional lecture-based teaching to interactive and experiential learning, such as moot courts, case studies, and interdisciplinary approaches.

3. Practical Exposure and Industry Collaboration – Faculty members should engage more with the legal industry, including law firms, the judiciary, and corporate legal teams, to align academic teachings with real-world practices.

4. Global Competencies and Cross-Disciplinary Learning – Law schools must prepare students for international legal frameworks and develop skills in analytical thinking, project management, and professional ethics.

5. Academic Social Responsibility (ASR) – A call for stronger collaboration between academia, industry, and government to foster holistic legal education.

Recommendations for a National Capacity Building Program

In response to these observations, Manupatra is proposing a National Capacity Building Program for Law Faculty, emphasizing:

* Regular faculty development workshops and certification programs endorsed by the Bar Council of India (BCI) and University Grants Commission (UGC).

* Workshops and training sessions focusing on digital literacy, emerging legal fields, and contemporary teaching methodologies.

* A national-level digital resource hub offering curated content, research materials, and interactive teaching guides.

* Exchange programs and global collaborations to expose law faculty to international best practices.

* Mentorship programs where senior legal educators and industry experts guide young faculty members.

* Establishment of legal education research centers to enhance teaching methodologies in law schools.

* Secondment programs for law faculty to gain practical experience by working with law firms and corporations, which they can integrate into their teaching.

A well-structured, government-backed Capacity Building Program will significantly improve the quality of legal education in India and contribute to producing competent legal professionals who uphold the rule of law effectively.

Manupatra urges all stakeholders to consider this recommendation and initiate the necessary discussions to develop a framework for the Capacity Building Program. Manupatra remains committed to collaborating and providing further insights to support this important initiative.
