EDUCATION FOR CHANGE
L&T’s CSR projects in the area of education are focused on increasing access to quality education for children. These initiatives, which mostly cater to children from 3-18 years belonging to marginalised strata of society, provide support for better learning abilities of young minds, are community-based and supplement learning in schools.
The projects go beyond academics and cover various aspects of education, including nutrition at the pre-primary level, providing infrastructure (setting up smart classes or refurbishing of classrooms or community learning centres and providing water and sanitation facilities) to supplement soft skills provided (support classes or remedial classes or STEM education). The education programmes are made even more robust by empowering stakeholders through teacher’s training programmes, and regular interactions with heads of the school and school management committees including parents.
Bridging the Technology Gap
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has become a buzzword in the Education space over the past few years, owing to rapid advancements in this field. The number of STEM jobs are growing at a fast pace; according to the National Science Foundation, it is predicted that 80% of the jobs created in the next decade will require some form of math and science skills.

Augmenting Infrastructure
Children, especially girls, in resource-poor schools are prone to absenteeism and dropping out due to the lack of basic infrastructure like classrooms, toilets and drinking water. L&T’s School Adoption Programme helps augment school infrastructure by repairing buildings and compound walls, building toilet blocks, drinking water stations and kitchens and equipping laboratories and libraries. It refurbishes playgrounds and classrooms by providing furniture in resource-poor Government schools.
