| Mahindra Satyam Foundation |
|
|
| Mahindra Satyam Foundation is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Mahindra Satyam. It
was instituted as Satyam Alambana Trust in the year 2000 with a vision to leverage the power of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to bridge the 'digital divide' that limits
opportunities for success and prosperity. |
|
 |
|
In February 2010, it was renamed as Mahindra Satyam Foundation; its underlying cause continues to remain 'Social Transformation. Together'. The foundation operates in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Bhubaneswar in the areas of education, blood donation, livelihoods, empowering people with disabilities and need based interventions in disaster management. |

 |
|
| Mahindra Satyam Foundation operates out of Hyderabad and has chapters in Bengaluru, Chennai, Bhubaneswar and Pune. Over time, Mahindra Satyam Foundation has worked in varied spheres transforming the lives of many a people. Some of its key programs include: |
| |
| Education Forum |
|
| The Education Forum's initiatives are designed to energise the education system in government schools, support a learning environment and improve the quality of learning for the underprivileged students through a series of vibrant, effective and empowering interventions/programs. Among many activities they undertake for the students are Notebook Distribution, Motivational Tours, Awareness Programs and Summer Camps. |

| Livelihood Program |
|
We believe in enabling individual capacities. An individual or an organisation is modeled around specific skills and practical knowledge.
By providing skills to the underprivileged individual, we add value to the society as well as Indian economy. What we do differently is identifying
the needs of underprivileged people and accordingly conferring appropriate skills. Some of our livelihood training offerings include Computer, Office Automation, Desktop Publishing, Web Designing, Hardware & Networking, Call Centre Training (Voice & Non-voice), Retail Management and Hotel Management. |

| Blood Donation Camps |
|
| Recognising the dire need for blood donation in India, Mahindra Satyam Foundation continues to organise a number of blood donation drives across all our locations periodically. Even in times of urgency
our associates remain just a phone call away to arrange for blood donation. During 2010-11, Mahindra Satyam associates voluntarily donated 1,620 units of blood in 15 blood donation camps across Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Bhubaneswar. |

| Empowering Persons with Disability (PWD) |

| Enhancing the lives of those with disability is a cause near to
Mahindra Satyam Foundation. Every year, we conduct a series of programs for the people with disabilities to better integrate them into the society by helping them overcome stigma; and empowering with employable skills. |
