Charity Initiatives
Partnership with BRAHMI An Indian NGO engaged in providing meaningful education to the disadvantaged rural children.
"Brahmi Educational and Cultural Trust" in short "BRAHMI" is a nonprofit, humanitarian organization dedicated to educating the disadvantaged rural children in India who have no opportunities for an education. Without access to a school, teachers, and opportunities for learning, disadvantaged children from poor families, especially in non-urban and impoverished areas, fall prey to child labor and remain locked in a cycle of poverty for the rest of their lives. Brahmi aims to transform the lives of these children through education. Its goal is to build schools in impoverished areas where there are no schools and educational opportunities.
The NGO has a scheme of involving the collective efforts of different players in our society- individuals, families, communities, the NGOs and the Corporations in its initiative of providing education to the poor rural children.
Maintec's CSR Program
Maintec has a clear Corporate Social Responsibility program. The company has been contributing 1% of its revenue and the employees voluntarily contribute 1% of their salary towards this cause. The main objective of this is empowerment of rural population with basic education, health and its overall upliftment. Since the goals and approach of the NGO were in tune with our CSR interests, Maintec joined hands with Brahmi in its initiative of taking meaningful and impactful education closer to the disadvantaged rural children, who would otherwise not have any educational opportunities. We run a concept rural school together by name Anjana Vidyakendra which is recognized by the Govt. of Karnataka Education Department at a backward village called Desapandaguttahalli, in Anekal Taluk about 40 km to the east of Bangalore city, about 16 km off Whitefield, closer to the temple village ChikkaTirupathi. We have provided elementary education to 150+ children, created a nutrition program, taught health & hygiene, developed strong cultural values, nurtured reading and learning with a library, and opened up the world of computers with our computer lab. In turn, these children and their families have benefited through a commitment to learning, building a stronger community, and setting sight on higher education that will leverage the strong foundation we have laid through elementary education to strengthen and prepare students for high school education and college or vocational education.
The school 'Anjana' conceived of as an 'Elementary School' by Brahmi currently provides quality education to about 150 children at pre-primary (4-6 years) and primary levels (1st to 7th grade for children between 6-14 years). The school is gearing up its infrastructure and resources to support a high school so as to maintain continuity of education for the current students. As long as the NGO's ideology resonates with our CSR interests, we will continue our joint venture with BRAHMI to educate as many needy rural children as possible. By involving all our internal and external stakeholders (employees as well as customers) in our initiative of educating children, we will be a) converting a large population available in the country into useful and usable human resource b) able to share the benefits of creating an enriched and capable human resource, absolutely required for our own existence as a Company. We believe this partnership is a very effective approach to make a real difference to those in need; the NGO being benefited with the methods and culture of a corporate world and the Company and its employees, as active and responsible members in the process of building a sane world, getting a base to fulfill their commitment to the society.
