CCL Ke Lal and CCL ki Ladli the inspiring initiative of Central Coalfields Ltd(CCL) is a testament of the fact.  It is the flagship program in education sector implemented under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by CCL.  The scheme emerged from the vision of the CMD, CCL Shri Gopal Singh who wanted to provide an opportunity of education to downtrodden section of the society.  Under this program children who are appearing in their class 10th examination are selected through a test from the whole state. All the selected students of CCL ke Lal and Ladli are given  free coaching  for IIT admission. The tutors are IIT qualified engineers working in CCL. The scheme was launched in 2012-13.   The students have attained various laurels and over 50 students of the previous batches across the years are studying in the prominent engineering colleges of the country and many of them are employed in leading corporate houses of the country.
 
The result of this year JEE MAINS 2020 broke all the records with Eleven students of the batch of sixteen securing ninety percentile or higher in JEE Mains. Siddhant Shekhar topped the field with 99.25 percentile Another student Vicky Kumar   Sinha scored 98.64 percentile. The admirable part of this performance is that Vicky lost his father in childhood and if it was not for this initiative of CCL, he would have never got an opportunity like this. Another touching story is that of Bittu Kumar. His father is a daily wage laborer and today the child scored 94.68 percentile. The highlight of the scheme is that the children belong to the most downtrodden and backward section of our community.
 
C.M.D Shri Gopal Singh congratulated the children on their achievement and wished the students for JEE Advance exams. He expressed confidence that with hard work and dedication children will surely produce the coveted result.  He said that schemes like this are a part of the All-round inclusive development of society which is the aim of the company. He added that their company produces coal to illuminate the future of the children. He further said that we produce coal to meet aspirations of children of Jharkhand  as they need platform and support from PSUs to fulfill their goal wither in education, sports or other fields.
 
CCL ensures that the finest resources are made available for the children. It provides the chosen students free coaching, lodging and mess facility . The school education is the responsibility of the company and all the students are studying in D.A.V Gandhinagar.
