KY Steel, a subsidiary of KDS Group, has taken multiple social and worker welfare initiatives in Sitakunda, Chattogram. The company prioritizes hiring local residents, supports underprivileged people, and has built a modern foot overbridge on the Dhaka–Chattogram highway to ensure safe crossing for students of the nearby Kumira Residential Girls’ School and College. The bridge, built at a cost of about one crore taka, has reduced road accidents and eased parental concerns.

Workers at KY Steel reported that all employees are covered by insurance, receive regular health checkups, safety training, and personal protective equipment. The company also ensures quick medical response in emergencies and provides benefits through welfare and insurance funds. Regular technical training has improved worker skills and productivity, setting a positive example in the Sitakunda industrial area.

Company officials said that nearly half of the employees at the Joar-Amtal branch are local residents. They emphasized that local recruitment and social development are part of KY Steel’s core values, aiming to ensure that the benefits of industrial growth reach the surrounding community.
