In a significant step towards improving education of underprivileged children, Schenker India, a leading logistics player, has taken a step further in its project — Towards light, in association with social welfare organisation Aident (NGO partner). The project is based on glaring gaps that are being shown in the school going children from the marginalised section of society of Class IV and V in their desired level of learning and actual learning achievements and providing them customised accelerated coaching and better education facilities. As a part of the company’s CSR initiative, Schenker India would be contributing Rs60 lakhs (approx) to this project for this year and along with NGO Partner would be providing remedial classes for over 600 students, computer education through a computer lab with 20 computers, library with books, teaching learning material, curriculum and syllabus design for accelerated learning, teachers training for quality education by internal and external resources, community mobilisation or parent teachers meetings etc. An annual event was organized in which 1600 school children participated from three MCD schools in Delhi. The major highlight of the programme was the commitment to drive this initiative to provide Remedial Education (with computer education and library facilities) to MCD school’s underprivileged children and to improve the quality of education available to over 600 targeted underprivileged children.
