CSR BY INFOSYS IN EDUCATION

In a world where education has become the biggest differentiating factor, the Foundation
offers an edge to deprived and rural students through its activities .

To identify and help students in dire need, the Foundation works with Prerna, an NGO in
Raichur and Bangalore, and Vidya Poshak in Dharwad, to distribute scholarships to poor

students. With the help of these organizations, the Foundation reaches out to deserving
students across Karnataka .
The Foundation has also made donations towards the reconstruction of old school

being read and even conducts essay competitions.

CSR BY WIPRO WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION

While financial commitments by Indian companies towards philanthropy may be nowhere

near that of Warren Buffet or Bill Gates, they are in their own way trying to bring about
change in the lives of those less fortunate. The Azim Premji Foundation, for instance, is
understood to be managing a fund of close to $1 billion from Wipro chairman Azim Premji
and has been channelling this education. into healthcare and education.
CSR increasingly an integral part of business strategy, with a greater focus on is seen as
sustainability and engagement with internal and external stakeholders. The Premi
Foundation, for instance, works with states to improve the quality of education. touched
22,000 schools, which translates into 2.5-3 million students. It has parald effort is the
Wipro Thought in Schools programme, which has pplying reached 1,500 schools. The
initiative aims to improve the quality of education. especially for the most under-privileged.
The Premji Foundation is now embarking on setting up a university, which will mould future
teachers.
wipro, given its core DNA of building a knowledge economy, is also involved in spreading
education. In what is one of the largest rural education programmes in th ecounty. To
simplify computer education in rural areas, a separate book has been written it has been
translated into Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and is being distributed unde rthe library project. It
also has scholarship programmes for poor students. encourages creative thinking through
a range of activities at after-school centres for children.
The foundation was set up with resources contributed by Azim Premji and has a corpus
amount) of $1 billion. It focuses on creating models that significantly improve the quality of
learning in schools, particularly in rural areas, in an effort to promote universal elementary
education in India. Separately. Wipro's CSR efforts are spearheaded by Anurag Behar to
provide community relief and rehabilitation in times of disasters, as well as improve
education. healthcare and wellness among the needy.
CSR Wipro Care program
Realities keep changing in an unpredictable world. In the midst of this there arise crises
that need to be immediately attended to and through Wipro Cares strive hard to address
this. From community relief and rehabilitation in times of disasters to education
opportunities, health and wellness programs for the needy, touches every level of society.
Wipro Care program is executed with the help of employees who are free to volunteer their
services and other recognized voluntary organizations who make sure the goal is never out
of focus.
Education for children of migrant labour
To realise Azim Premji Foundation's vision related equity in education, the to Foundation
has chosen to focus on disadvantaged and under-served of groups children. Of special
concern are children from the large number of migratory families serving the booming
construction industry in urban India. A majority of these children do not go to school given
the migratory nature of their families and the lack of suitable access to proximate quality
schools. As a result. not only are they deprived of education in any form but are also. in a
way. forced to seek other kinds of engagement that may not be constructive to their
development.
Despite recognition of the presence of such children and some provision to address their
educational needs through tent schools etc., Governmental efforts have been minimal in
this space, raising the significance of this project.
There are several issues involved in the education of such children ranging from their
possible multilingual composition to a varied profile in terms of exposure to any kind of
schooling, the temporariness of their habitation etc.

Child Friendly School

Experience has demonstrated that there are no short cuts to addressing the issue of quality
education. Improving quality requires a multi-pronged strategy involving improvements in
school as well as educational system. This includes supporting interventions like
enhancements to the curricular package, the teaching-learning environment and fostering
positive school-community linkages. Successful quality initiatives require local. area based
planning and management that require specific skills such as strategic and participatory
planning. mobilisation. utilisation of available resources and willingness to be held
accountable.
Computer Aided Learning Study
There is a consistent international trend to explore and utilize aided learning to computer
augment the teaching learning processes in the class room. Most parents, teachers and
students identify computers as a source of learning.
The Computer Aided Leaming program was initiated in the year 2002 to hamess the
potential of computer technology for education. The objectives of the program were to
make leaming a play, assessment a fun and equal knowledge for all students. During
implementation, the objective of'equal knowledge for all' got converted to'equal
opportunity for all'. To this end, the Foundation created syllabus-based bitrilingual
multimedia contents. As a part of the program, the content along with a one-day
orientation, was given to teachers. The program, in partnership with the respective State
governments, covered approximately 16,000 Schools across 14 States in the country.
Educational Leadership and Management
Educational leadership has a critical role in the transformation of society, and for change
to happen. effective leaders are key. Along with the widespread belief that the quality of
leadership makes a significant difference to school and student outcomes. there is also
increasing recognition that effective school leaders and managers have to be developed if
they are to provide the best possible education for their learners.
Azim Premji Foundation strongly believes that education management has to be
strengthened by enhancing leadership and management skills of functionaries within the
public education system if quality universal education is to be achieved. Thus, building
expertise in the area of Educational Leadership and Management(ELMn has been a priority
.
Working within the Foundation's vision of an education that facilitates a just. equitable,
humane and sustainable ELM seeks to explore an understanding of quality society,
education and the critical challenges to it in the Indian and how education context,
leadership and management can contribute to improving the quality of govemment schools
in India.
Management Development Program(MDP)
MDP is an attempt to work with individual Education Leadership and Management
capacities in the Department of Public Instruction, Government of Karnataka. The
program has been facilitated by the PPU, Azim Premji Foundation and our partnering
resource institution C-LAMPs in collaboration with Sarva Siksha Abhiyan(SSA). MDP has
completed three years. The process of developing Management Development
Facilitators(MDF) through the program began in 2006-2007 with reaching out to
approximately 800 prospective candidates, of whom 75 were finally certified as
Management Development Facilitators.

specialize MDP further. The program was launched on 23rd November 2009 and facilitated
in partnership with the resource institution EFIL. It is being piloted in four districts of
Karnataka-Kolar, Hasan, Shimoga and Coorg.
ELM and Quality Education
Underlying all the efforts of the Educational Leadership and Management function is a
vision of quality education. Our attempts in the Foundation are to enhance the quality of
education through various interventions that are not programmatic but operationalstrengthening in nature Our focus is on people development: our attempt is to change their
perspectives, attitudes and values which help them set their own For all his billions,
Premji, a dimininutive man with a shock of white hair, is remarkably down-to-earth and
unflinchingly courteous, politely declining to answer a question he no doubt has been
asked countless times-what is the size of his appropriately named Azim Premji Foundation
and steering the conversation to the work his foundation is doing. It focuses on education,
improving standards in India by training teachers, among other things: funding model
schools: and is now starting a university to upgrade teaching methods.
"It will be a world-class university with a large endowment says the 64-year-old Premji in a
wide-ranging interview at the London offices of Wipro WIT- news-people), the software
outsourcing giant he founded and now chairs. Ultimately Premji's hope is that teachers
trained at his university will fan out to the teacher training institutes in India's 600 districts.
"Most of these institutes are a complete mess says Premji, with the teachers leading the
classes worse than the teachers that come to get trained.
Premji's foundation was started nine years ago and is funded solely by Premji. In a
September 2006 article, India's Economic Times said Premji had given the foundation
stock valued at Rs 450 crore or roughly $101 million. "It was much more than that," says
Premji, declining to elaborate.
For Premji, philanthropy boils down to a simple philosophy: "To those to whom much is
given, much has to be given back".
If the Indian software billionaire, who ranks No. 28 among the richest people in the world
with $17 billion to his name, winds up giving away most of his money to charity, he would
be a rare breed among Asian entrepreneurs who have tended to pass their wealth onto
their children rather than putting it tophilanthropic use In Asia"there is a huge cultural need
that wealth has to be given from generation to generation says Premji who thinks the
tradition of philanthropy that is so prevalent in the West will India eventually. More and
more parents, he says, are living away come to from their children and the practice of
children taking care of elderly parents is fading realize their wealth should be used for
social good rather than children's good"he says.

The efforts of Premjis foundation are separate from the philanthropic initiatives Wipro
pursues. Some of these initiatives, such as Mission 10x, which is focused on making
India's engineering students more employable in the information technology industry,
clearly dovetail with Wipro's business interests. Others, such as wipro Cares, match
contributions from employees and provide disaster relief, lending hand after the a
earthquake in Gujarat or the floods in orissa, for instance. Both the foundations and
Wipro's philanthropic efforts share a common philosophy: They seek to offer the recipients
of aid an ownership stake often requiring them to pick up some of the tab. by In business
circles, Premji is credited with transforming a cooking oil company he inherited from his
father into a software colossus. Perhaps one day he'll be known in the philanthropic world
for changing the face of charitable giving in Asia.

Azim Premji donates $2bn towards educadon

In what could arguably be the biggest individual philanthropic contribution ever, Wipro
Ltd.'s Chairman Azim Premjion Wednesday said that he will transfer 213 million equity
shares which amount up to Rs 8,846 crore to Azim PremjiTrustee Company Pvt Ltd, a rust
completely controlled by him. The funds which are irrevocable will be effective from
December 7. The foundation primarily works in rural India in collaboration with the state
govemments to improve the quality of education. Apart from this, the foundation will also
be setting up a university for the financially unstable students.
Premji is one of the most influential Indian technology czar billionaire who has been
donating large sum of money towards social causes such as education and health. The
shares which are due to be transfemed, are held by several private companies which are
controlled by Premji. Although, the voting rights remain intact with him, his stakes in
Wipro will see a downfall as a result of the donation. As the donation amounts up to over a
tenth out of his total wealth of Rs 80, 760 crore, he has let off 10.9 per cent of his holdings
as a promoter.
As the announcement was made, Premji said that we believe that good education is
crucial to building a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. We want to
contribute significantly towards impiovement of education in India, and through that
towards building a better society.
HEALTHCARE
The Premji Foundation has also been making its mark in healthcare to a large number of
villagers in Aurangabad through mobileclinics. It has also been local engaging
communities in healthcare delivery.
The Azim Premji Foundation has decided to set up ten resource in ten different centres
districts in the next one year. The foundation plans to duplicate it in 626 districts of India.
The plan is to work with the Government in solving the problems of health and nutrition,
but the foundation doesn't want to restrict it to the Government, writes Poornima
Mohandas in Mint.
The Azim Premji Foundation is planning 10 resource centres that could potentially be
duplicated in all of India's 626 districts to focus on basic needs such as health and nutritiontrying out a new model of development that would involve a private body and eventually
cover the entire country.
To begin with. the foundation wants to set up the resouce centies in 10 districts in the next
12 months.

The idea is to offer the resource centre to the government institutions, government
schools, private schools and other institutions to contribute to their capacity Even for the
Azim Premji Foundation, resources will be a constraint and working with the government is
no easy task, The foundation has decided not to restrict itself to working with the
government going forward. For instance, it's setting up an eponymous university and ls
considering whether it should run schools as well.
The scarcity of trained personnel has slowed the foundation's work and held it back from
fully using its allocated annual budget of Rs25 crore, while students graduating from the
Azim Premji University will be free to join the government, private institutions or tum
entrepreneurs, the foundation could absorb the initial 500 students.
Rural HealthProgram Wipro Cares launched Project Sanjeevani, its first rural healthcare
project, on the 6th of November 2009, in Aurangabad district. It was launched in
partnership with Savitribal Phule Mahila Ekatma Samaj Mandal(SPMESM), a reputed
NGO, which has extensive experiencein working in rural healthcare. The project will cover
nine small villages, all situated in and around Wipro's Waluj factory. over the next three
years, Project Sanjeevani aims to build a sustainable Primary Healthcare system with the
involvement of the local population. Towards this aim, the project will:
1. Provide quality primary health services by operating a Mobile Health Clinic.
2. Strengthen the local Anganwadi institutions to improve the attendance of children so as
to ascertain and improve their health
3. Identify and treat malnutrition cases in the project area
4. Identify and register pregnant women and provide them with basic medical services
5. Create awareness regarding personal hygiene die and vaccination through awareness
programs and counseling sessions.
US healthcare initiatives will boost
IT biz: Wipro IT major Wipro believes Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act(Hitech Act) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act(PPACA)
will give significant boost to its healthcare IT business from the US.
Hitech Act was enacted toward encouraging medical practices to better adopt and make
meaningful use of Electronic Health Records(EHR). PPACA Act provides a timeline of the
implementation of key reform provisions that affect employers and individuals.
Wipro's healthcare vertical, which contributes about 9 per cent to the overall revenue, has
major presence in the US and a few other developed countries.
Wipro has invested extensively in developing structured solutions to accelerate the
strategy, planning and implementation of compliance initiatives in view of US regulatory
and policy requirements in a bid to capture a significant share of IT spend in the US
markets related to compliance. US healthcare is highly compliance and regulatory driven.
Rajiv Shah, head of Wipro's healthcare vertical, said, "Healthcare Information Exchange
compliance requirements itself is evolving as an industry. With our experience in the US
market and other developed markets, we believe we have the right products to tap the
opportunity. Our sophisticated repertoire of solutions are built to address the complex
challenges of contemporary health care industry."
"Besides working with R&D divisions of healthcare medical devices companies, we have
an extensive portfolio for remote patient monitoring solutions including mobile care, home
monitoring systems. We see impressive traction in our BPO services for those
solutions,"Shah said

Referring to Indian healthcare, he said. it is the right time for India to go for digitisation of
medical records, as the demand for better healthcare from consumer is growing and as
more insurance However, he said. integration of services re buying more people such as
diagnosis, pharmaceuticals should take place prior that.

Corporate Social Responsibi HCL

To give back to the society what we receved from it has been the constant endeavor at
HCL Technologies. We take pride in being a company with a strong social conscience,
and this ideology stems out of the fact that we closely linked to the communities we are
operate in.
We believe that every drop counts and aimed helping the community is an every step at
important step. Our commitment to make a positive difference to the environment the or
underprivileged is not about a one off initative but is a sustained effort to make a visible
change to people's lives.
Green HCL
Every initiative at HCL is conducted or organized with the environment in mind. We believe
every organization can play a major role in reducing hazards to the environment. and
which is why HCL has joined the national movement of businesses and organizations that
are leading the fight against global warming by aligning with Carbonfund.org, one of
country's leading carbon offset organization.
The result was that HCL's Global Customer Meet Unstructure. organized in November
2008, was a carbon-neutral event as we compensated for the emissions by purchasing
carbon cred which were split equally into carbon offsets of Reforestation. Energy Efficiency
and Renewable energy.
Advancing further into our Go Green initiative, the event was taken as an incentive to plant
more than 650 oak trees in 28 acres of land in Champawat district of Uttarakhand. The
scarves presented to the guests at the GCM were made from"Peace silk", which is called
so because it is drawn only after the oak silk worm moth has emerged, with no harm
befalling the silk worm itself.
our employees walk hand in hand with us in making the organization green friendly by
organizing plantation drives across the country, and working with organizations like Green
Peace to create awareness on green issues. It is a conscious decision taken by the
employees to reduce paper usage, save energy and cost by switching off lights when not
required and print only when necessary. as an effort to drive the green movement within
the organization.
Employee volunteer programs
we believe that employees are the real value creators a difference not only who can make
to the organization but their collective effort can change the society itself. The Community
Service Council at HCL Technologies(CSR) is an initiative driven entirely by employees
and completely supported by the management. With over 500 events organized in the last
one year, the council is by far the most active of councils in the organization.
The aim of the CSC council is to improve, guide and inspire the underprivileged people,
through various assistance programs, and by working with many NGOs and charitable
organization. As the Chinese proverb says Buy him a fish and you will feed him for a day,
teach him to fish and you will feed him for life.

1. HCL School Intervention Program: Right to good education is the basic right of every
child and SIP is an effort to give life to this belief. Holistic in its scope. over 100 volunteers
reach out to 800 students from different schools to conduct classes in basic subjects like
English, Mathematics and computers. and carry out health& hygiene and environment
awareness programs other than this. personality development programs, summer
workshops and vocational tra courses are also organized for these students.
2. Teach e office It ls often said that charly begins at home but, at HCL, socal
responsibility begins at office. Through this initiative basic awareness, knowledge and
skills were imparted to over 250 guards posted at the varlous HCL faclltles with the aim of
improving their quality of life increase their awareness levels and empower them to work
better.
3. Child Rescue and Rehabilitation program: The is designed to provide program voluntary
help to rescue and rehabilitate children who are affected by various forms of abuse and are
in need of rehabilitative support. In the Bangalore initiative, for example, over 170
employees work closely with the Ministry of women and child development, NGOs like
Bosco, Apsa& Child Right Trust and the Bangalore police to conduct field visits and
organize awareness programs. Till now over 60 children have been rehabilitated.
4. Fund Raising Events and collection drive: HCL works with more than 10 NGOs and Self
Help Groups like Goonj(a resource mobilization initiative for the underprivileged), Scope
plus(working with destitute women), Srijan(working for the welfare of the Tihar Jail
inmates) and Petals(working with specially-abled people) to promote causes we strongly
believe in, and help these organizations raise funds by organizing bazaars and collection
drives at various HCL facilities. In the last one employees have raised nearly Rs. 1.25 lakh
to support these year, causes.
5. Encouraging the specially-abled: The initiative is aimed at helping the specially-abled
individuals to earn their livelihood and lead a normal life. As part of the program, couple of
kiosks have already b set up at our facilities in Noida and Gurgaon, which will be followed
by similar set ups across the country.
Unlike many corporations, corporate social responsibility(CSR) is not just a subsidiary
activity to HCL. The group takes a comprehensively holistic approach to property
development undertaking projects that will have a beneficial impact on not just the
immediate customer, but on society itself. Corporate social responsibility is central to what
HCL does.
Investing in the East
HCL began its property development agenda in Trincity, and since that time the Group has
placed major emphasis on the development of Eastern Trinidad. This focus extends into its
charitable contributions to the community. HCL regularly partners with the Tunapuna/Piarco
Regional Corporation on community enhancement initiatives. These include measures like
school book programmes and civic celebrations.

addition, India will also need about 1 million teachers to deliver the training. To accelerate
the rate of learning, the literacy program uses a TCS-designed computer- based
functional literacy model. a teaching method that multimedia software to uses teach adults
to read within 30-45 leaming hours spread 1.5 hours sessions, over 1 to thrice a week,
over a period of 10 to 12 weeks.

repetition of sound pattems and language structures and cognition of the meaning. a
person is made to read. This CBFL method is implemented using computers and flash
cards.
TCS works closely with governments both at the state and district level to develop and
deploy CBFL packages in the local language, as a supplement to their programs. To
support the use of the CBFL model, TCS also donates computers to the state
governments.
