The Tech Mahindra Foundation was launched to address the educational needs of the underprivileged, especially children, as well as espouse the cause of women's empowerment in education.
We believe that by focusing on the education of the underprivileged, we can develop world-class human resources. Education leads to empowerment and self-reliance. Our firm belief in this spurs our sponsorship of educational aids and vocational training programs for the underprivileged.
The Foundation aims to realize its vision by creating and supporting programs that will bring about sustainable changes, aimed at the economically less privileged and socially disadvantaged. The Foundation was formally launched in June 2007 as an expression of understanding of these issues of social concern.
The Foundation also supports women empowerment programs through vocational, technical and professional education at all levels. Our endeavor is to build active, sustainable partnerships with individuals, community at large, government and other organizations committed to the field of education and women empowerment and to leverage their efforts for optimum results.
Together with our partners, Tech Mahindra Foundation is spawning new ways to transform society by supporting education and women empowerment programs, and bring its benefits to the displaced and dispossessed. The Foundation has tie-ups with non-governmental organizations (NGOs, not-for-profit ventures) based in Delhi-Noida, Maharashtra and Karnataka. These partnerships help promote programs that enable the underprivileged to become self-reliant and responsible contributing citizens.
