| Project Nanhi Kali |
| Sponsoring the education of a girl child, remains one of the most effective forms of altering their reality. At Mahindra we have been committed to this cause since 1996 through Nanhi Kali, the flagship program of the K. C. Mahindra Education Trust (KCMET), which supports the education of disadvantaged girl child. |
|
| This year we reached a step closer to our goal of sponsoring 1,00,000 girls. Project Nanhi Kali now supports the education of over 54,364 underprivileged girl children, in poor urban, rural and tribal communities across 8 states of India. |
|
| The Mahindra Group has committed to independently support 6,000 girls every year in low- literacy areas of urban, rural and tribal parts of India by providing academic support as well as material support in the form of uniforms, clothes, school bags, shoes, etc. The KCMET also regularly monitors the 22 NGOs that they work with, giving technical inputs where ever required to ensure that quality education is being imparted to all the Nanhi Kalis. |
|
| In addition, M&M Limited has entered into a partnership with the Government of Rajasthan to jointly support the education of 10,000 disadvantaged girl children in the tribal area of Udaipur District through the Nanhi Kali project. Here the Government of Rajasthan will support 5,000 Nanhi Kalis while M&M will support the education of the remaining 5,000 girls. In all M&M continues to support the education of 11,000 underprivileged girls through the Nanhi Kali project. |
