Aligning ourselves with the government of India’s objective to support education, we endeavour to bridge the social and fiscal divide and support students from low-income families to continue their education. We are delighted to join hands with Literacy India in their mission and intend to support as many students as we can and provide them with opportunities to not only enhance their education, but also transform them into confident, competent and socially responsible individuals. I firmly believe that, the youth and children of today are the torch bearers of our country and investing in their quality education will reap us maximum benefits in the future.”
