“The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme marks a significant step forward in empowering India’s youth by providing them with hands-on experience in prominent companies. By allowing the use of CSR funds for training costs and stipends, this initiative ensures that businesses play an active role in shaping the future workforce. Similarly, the Rural Prosperity and Resilience Program seeks to uplift rural communities by addressing underemployment and enhancing livelihoods. Its focus on women, young farmers, and landless families represents a positive move towards inclusivity. Further, the extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission until 2028 guarantees ongoing efforts to provide clean drinking water to rural households, underscoring the government’s dedication to meeting basic needs for everyone. The introduction of 50,000 adult tinkering labs in government schools is set to nurture curiosity and innovation, equipping young individuals with a scientific mindset and essential problem-solving abilities. As a responsible corporate entity, we are proud to continue our support to such initiatives through our CSR activities and contribute to the vision of Viksit Bharat.”
