CSC India Boosts IT Education

image
At CSC India, we consistently work toward integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) into the values, culture, operations and business decisions at all levels of the organization. Our constant endeavor is to bring a positive change to the underprivileged communities by supporting a wide range of socio-economic, educational and health initiatives.

Though the employees volunteer to participate, the CSR initiatives are triggered and executed by the Social Services Committee (SSC), the philanthropic arm of CSC in India. The Social Services Committee at CSC India acts as the torchbearer for all our socially responsible activities and manages the CSR initiatives across locations.

The objectives of the committee are to:

  • Help the lesser-privileged sections of the society through long-term sustainable and measurable initiatives
  • Participate in national, international, governmental and NGO initiatives
  • Support people affected by natural calamities and disasters
  • Offer a platform to employees where they can give back to the society in a meaningful way
Recently in Indore, CSC collaborated with a government school to provide IT education for students. This program covers the basics of computers, Microsoft Office, hardware, the Internet and software programming languages. CSC provided computers and books to the students. In addition, CSC hosted the students during a visit to the Indore office, where students were given a tour and participated in a special class.

A strong promoter of basic and primary education, CSC India has adopted educational institutions to enhance their education standards and equip them with better infrastructure facilities. The organization has adopted schools in tribal villages and slum areas, and sponsored funds for school building, teachers’ salaries, books, school uniforms, computers and other study materials. Computer training is provided to the teachers and primary school children on a continuous basis. CSC India uses IT as an instrument for social development and promoting computer literacy. Many computers have also been donated to government schools and schools in rural remote areas.
