Over the last few years, India has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies of the world and is fast transforming into a global economy.
However, in the midst of this thriving economic boom, there are also some serious concerns facing the future of the country. Credible surveys have revealed that more than 65% of the population live below the poverty line; rural literacy rate is 58% amongst men and only 31% amongst women; more than 60% of primary schools in India have only one teacher to attend to classes I-V; only 80% of children join a primary school and amongst them 39% drop out before completing 5th grade in order to support their families; and 60 to 115 million children are working in agriculture, polishing gemstones, rolling cigarettes, packaging firecrackers, and weaving silk saris and carpets.
Education Initiative:
Millions of children are out of school because they can’t afford it. They have a ‘will’ to be in school, but have no ‘way’. We show these children a way to school, help them obtain higher education and give wings to their dreams.
As part of philanthropic activity our company also distributes books, uniforms, and stationery to underprivileged school children.
The Company is running another institution ‘IMA-ESDI’ with the support of ‘MSME’ of Govt of INDIA for the upliftment of Skill based and professional vocational training for young entrepreneurs & professionals.
