We are making concerted efforts to improve the quality of education and keep more students in school to ensure that more students are able to complete secondary education.

To this end, the following initiatives have been undertaken:

• Making provisions for digital classes
• Providing learning aid to students
• Extending scholarships for higher education
• Offering bicycles, sanitary napkins to girl students
• Organising school health camps and student enrolment drives

We observed that the local communities were severely backward in terms of availability of healthcare and medical facilities, with the closest facilities being several kilometres away. In keeping with the medical needs of the communities, we implemented the following initiatives:

• Strengthening government Primary Health Centres (PHC) by providing lab machinery, renovation of labour rooms and engaging lab technicians and nurses
• Organising health camps and providing gratuitous medicine

Well developed infrastructure is key to developing empowered communities. We are working to develop the overall infrastructure of villages and addressing their basic food, water, home and transportation needs. Our infrastructure development initiatives include the following:

• Constructing roads
• Establishing water purification units for rural population
• Installing solar street lights
• Renovating bus stations

We have partnered India’s Swachh Bharath Abhiyan and are playing a role in eliminating open defecation across Indian villages. In association with the government, we constructed 700 individual household toilets and made 4 villages open defecation free. We are creating awareness on proper solid waste management and segregation of waste at source among school students and plan on extending this to Gram Panchayats and municipalities.
