Mumbai 18th Dec:- Recognizing
the transformational potential of education, Schindler India’s CSR program – 'Fulfill Futures', which falls
under its Sustainable communities’ Rural projects, inaugurates ‘Zilla Parishad School’ -primary division (1st to 4th standard) which
included construction of school and sanitation unit of a Zilla Parishad near Schindler's Factory in Chakan,
Pune.
Umesh Magar-Director Magarpatta
Township Development was the Chief Guest and inaugurated the School
with Shubhankar Chatterji– Chief Supply Chain Officer & Factory
Head, Schindler India.
The school comes under the
Eainadewasti with a tribal population of around 350 individuals- 185 males and
162 females. There were two class rooms and one sanitation block in this school
which needed to be demolished and reconstructed. The current number of students who will be studying in this school is 45
along with 2 teachers.
Based upon the baseline assessment
study by the NGO partner, Habitat
for Humanity, the class room and sanitation block was very old and
in a dilapidated condition. Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools are
necessary to have a healthy school environment. Hence, Schindler takes this
opportunity to develop appropriate health and hygiene behaviours among the
young children and support to fulfil their dreams of primary education in the
community. The program is focussed on supporting sustainable initiatives for
rural communities to bring about positive developments.
Shubha
Arora – Chief
Peoples Officer, Schindler India & South Asia, said that Schindler India
believes that lack of education through social and economic disadvantage is the
greatest barrier to equal opportunity. Hence, via our 'Fulfill Futures program,
we strive to bridge this gap which reflects our awareness of the responsibility
towards the cause. The ability to give back to the society for larger interest
is what will make all the difference in the years to come. The Zilla Parishad School
is a testament to Schindler’s commitment towards development of communities and
bringing education to deprived sections of society.
