Introduction

Human capital and economic development go hand in hand and focus on the development of the country. Education plays an important role in the development of the country and is a fundamental right for everyone. India is the second most populous country in the world and has a literacy rate of approximately 74%. India’s literacy rate continues to rise, but many states in the country have low literacy rates.

With The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 coming in, there has been a definite improvement in enrolment of children in schools at all level across the country. Most of the provisions guaranteed in this Act are yet to be fulfilled like lack of basic infrastructure facilitates, safe condition to study etc. These gaps lead to many children, especially students of the age group 8 yrs to 15 yrs to drop out of their schools as they grow up.

Purpose of CSR is to make a Organization socially responsible which paws the way of creating positive impact in the society. Recognizing these challenges, Petronash Engineering Services Private Limited has come up with the deal of helping a school location in Karuvantha village, Tirunelveli.

Brief Description of the Project

During the period 2023-24, to achieve Petronash’s CSR Motive towards Education and Development, a CSR Committee has been formed and signed MOU with Govardhan Trust. With the help of Mr. Natesan from Govardhan Trust we have identified that there is a need for CSR activity in “Vivekananda National Trust Middle School” located in Karuvantha Village, Tirunelveli district.

Project Name Rural Education Development
Duration of Project 40 days
Target Group Children of Karuvantha Village

During 2000, Vivekananda National Trust School was started as a primary school. In 2016, this institution became a middle school.

At present, this school is built in an area of 6000 sq. ft and has 273 students with 10 teachers including Principle.

Students studying in this school are mostly from farming and daily coolie backgrounds. In this school they provide free lunch for more than 100 students every day.

This school had 10 classrooms and needed 6 additional classrooms with a chemistry and physics laboratory to start high secondary education. Also, the classrooms of primary class students required tables & benches.

We have approached this school through Govardhan Trust and understood the requirements as given below

Furniture for 2 primary classrooms.
Laboratory equipment & furniture to set up physics, chemistry and Biology Lab
Stationary kit to Students

After a complete study we have proceeded to take these requirement as our CSR project and obtained approvals from our board of directors and successfully completed the CSR project by fulfilling the school’s requirements by end Mar’24.
