Planning and implementing CSR projects

A trusted partner with direct access to beneficiaries and perform a successful CSR program.

Corporate Social Responsibility

SUSTAINABLE - MEASURABLE - VISIBLE

Various reports have indicated that less than 10% of the revenues allocated for the underprivileged reach the beneficiaries. The administrative and aligned costs eat up unimaginable chunk of our taxes. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is the best way to deploy the funds in to; where it matters the reputed Indian Corporates have been following the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) practices decades before it became mandatory.

The Corporate sector has long realized that the best way to contribute to the society is to educate and sensitize the future generation. The current environment and the measures taken are not sufficient and effective to mould the angels in remote village schools. That’s where technology intervention becomes the best tool for progressive CSR teams.

Current scenario as per surveys by reputed NGOs:

1. 59% of class V students cannot read class II text book (up from 43% in year 2010).
2. 47% of class V students cannot do simple two digit subtraction (up from 29% in year 2010).
3. 74% of class V students cannot do simple division (up from 64% in year 2010).
4. 57% of Indian schools have 3 teachers or less.
5. Quality and Quantity an issue.
6. Students poor in basic reading and maths skills.
7. Low motivation–Low Confidence.
8. Empower Village Youth through Education.
9. Technology driven quality education at affordable costs to masses.

EDISHA is, the best solution for Education under CSR

EDISHA has been actively engaged with CSR teams across sectors since more than 5 years. Owing to our experience working with dozens of reputed organizations we understand the specific needs to corporate sector (Sponsors) as well as beneficiaries (Schools-Teachers-Students).

The CSR Sales team can, on occasions, advise it’s clients on best practices followed, the documentation and reporting mechanism, filing the reports for audit, impact assessment, public image initiatives and so on. We ensure due visibility of our generous sponsors within the community in discussion with the CSR teams.

The Development team continuously interacts with thousands of teachers and students to understand the needs specific to the class it caters to and develops its products in line with requirements and emerging needs. The development also takes care of computer literacy levels of these schools and the products are designed accordingly.

The Service team needs the geography of these locations by heart and provides on-site support and upgrades promptly. Considering the nature of this project, support at remote locations and knowledge of territories is more crucial than the software and equipment. That’s why our projects are sustainable-measurable-visible.
