We believe that quality education is a fundamental need for every child. With this belief and the strong inclination to provide equitable access to children from lesser privileged backgrounds and marginalized communities, various need based educational interventions are implemented across geographies. The educational activities are in alignment to the National Education Policy (2020) and focuses on creating a holistic learning infrastructure, thereby providing an impetus to join and sustain them through their schooling years. Infrastructure support like construction of additional classrooms, providing furniture, Digital smart class solutions, setting up of STEM Labs, refurbishment of toilet blocks, construction of separate sanitation facilities for girls, providing clean drinking water through donation of water purifiers & coolers, installation of solar panels, providing safe commute options through donation of school bus, etc. are some of the need based initiatives being implemented across geographies.
Schools near our project sites across rural areas, semi-urban areas lack the basic infrastructure like adequate classrooms, sanitation facilities, furniture and majority of the school buildings are in dilapidated condition. This leads to suboptimal teaching and learning outcomes. There is strong evidence that better infrastructure leads to lesser dropouts thereby ensuring better learning outcomes.
Research has shown that quality education, coupled with a safe and secure infrastructure, plays a crucial role in encouraging children to enroll in schools.
With a view to enhance 21st century skills, digital smart class solutions and Mini science centres are set up year on year in schools at remote geographies near our business operations. The schools with skewed teacher-student ratios benefit the most with digital smart class solution as the teachers are able to manage multiple classes simultaneously.
Water purifiers and water coolers are donated to schools for marginalised children. While water purifiers ensure the access to safe drinking water, the water coolers gives children respite in the hot summers. The project focus is to lower the rate of waterborne diseases amongst children thereby decreasing the dropout rate.
Aligned to the Skill India Mission of Government of India, KPIL's skilling initiative focuses on strengthening the pool of skilled workforce in the industry we operate in. Skill hubs have been set up in the Government run Industrial Technical Institutes (ITI) that train the alumni and existing batches of students in employability enhanced trainings covering trades like Welder, Electricians, Barbenders, Carpenters, etc.
