The project is the VERY FIRST CSR PROJECT where the CSR funds from GESTAMP - a Spanish Multinational, have been channelized through Rotary Foundation (India). This helped leverage the CSR donation by 1.15X. The focus community is five schools Chakan rural / semi-rural areas. The students of these schools come from underprivileged section of the society. These schools lacked basic minimum facilities & infrastructure for learning. Extensive need mapping was done for the community along with company officials to finalise the scope of the project with a clear focus on sustainability & impact. The upgradation projects are divided into three categories - Class Room Infrastructure, Learning Infrastructure & Hygiene Infrastructure.

Learning Infra upgrade involves setting up Science Lab, Computer Lab, Library, e Learning and conducting an extensive Teachers Training Program.
