On
Children’s Day, Mr. Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta Resources Plc,
stressed on educating the underprivileged childen via a tweet as a
prerequisite to create an empowered nation.
Highlighting
education to be one of the most effective tools which could be the
foundation for a sustained economic growth, Mr. Agarwal emphasized on
equal education opportunities for all children, as being the most
fundamental initiative for a long-term sustainable change. Equal
education will empower the new generation to emerge as social and
economic actors in influencing and shaping inclusive policies.
Over
the years, Vedanta has been at the forefront with initiatives targeted
towards community development across areas like education, women’s
empowerment, healthcare, livelihood and environmental protection. The
initiatives have benefitted over 3.1 million people in India and have
ensured development of the communities in all locations of the company’s
operations. Over 0.99 million people have benefited from platforms
created for the overall development of children and various tailor made
educational initiatives which complement formal and informal education
systems.
Vedanta's
‘Khushi – Care for the underprivileged children in India’ is a social
media campaign that encourages people to take individual steps. Khushi
advices citizens to take a more personal approach, such as providing a
healthy meal daily, or paying the school fees of an underprivileged
child. Khushi promotes care for the underprivileged children, their
health, nutrition and education. The focus of the campaign is to
educate people at large, bring awareness, bring policy changes,
sensitize people towards empowering the new generation and build a new
India.
