class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Positive Living</h3><br> <p>Krishna (name changed), a HIV infected semi-orphan boy, hails from a small village near GMR Kakinada Special Economic Zone. His father died with AIDS and his mother, who is also HIV positive, is dependent on her parents. Due to less immunity, she frequently falls sick and is unable to go for any work. The ill health in the family severely affected their economic condition, and Krishna had to drop out of education after Std. III.</p> <p>During a field visit, GMRVF staff learnt about Krishna’s family and about his medical condition. He was a shy child who secluded himself from the outside world. Added to this, his grandparents were unable to provide him with nutritious meals due to their insufficient income.</p> <p>GMRVF identified Krishna among 40 other under-privileged children living with HIV in that area. In order to build their immunity, the Foundation began to provide them a nutritious kit on a monthly basis. The kit includes 5 kgs of rice, 1 kg of wheat, jiggery, dal, ragi powder, black gram, groundnuts and dates. GMRVF colleagues also monitor their intake of medicines and their CD4 count (CD4 count is a means of measuring the functioning of immune system).</p> <p>GMRVF staff also counselled him on the importance of completing his education and fulfilling his dreams. He then re-enrolled in a nearby government school and slowly began showing interest in academics. In March 2019, Krishna passed his Std. X with 8.2 CGPA with academic support being provided by the Foundation.</p> <p>Krishna is now enrolled in Intermediate with Biology, Physics and Chemistry as the main subjects and aspires to invent a medicine for the deadly disease of HIV/AIDS in future.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/cancer-health.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>On Course for Success</h3><br> <p>Jyoti and her family moved from Bihar to Delhi when she was a young girl. Her father worked as a tailor in a garment factory and saved his daily wages to ensure Jyoti and her three siblings completed their schooling. However, he could not support Jyoti’s higher education. So she began looking for a job, but her lack of educational qualifications proved to be a barrier.</p> <p>At that point of time, her friend told her about the free courses offered by GMRV Centre for Empowerment & Livelihoods, Delhi (CEL-D) run by Delhi International Airport Ltd. as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. Accompanied by her father, she visited the Centre to see for herself if CEL-D was indeed offering vocational courses for free.</p> <p>Jyoti states that when they entered CEL-D for the first time, they could not believe how spacious and clean the campus was. She was also happy to see many youth like her enrolled in various courses at the Centre. After speaking to GMRVF staff, she immediately signed up to join the ‘Basic Computer’ course.</p> <p>Jyoti went through intensive practical oriented training accompanied by sessions on Soft Skills, Spoken English and Personality Development. She successfully passed the final assessment with a good grade.</p> <p>On successfully completing the course, she was placed with a reputable organization in Delhi at a starting salary of Rs. 22,500 per month. Jyoti says, “CEL-D helped me take my first steps towards achieving my goals. My experience as a student was enriching.”</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/jyoti-casestudy-feb-2020.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Igniting Young Minds</h3><br> <p>Chepala Kanakalakshmi hails from Gorsapalem village near GMR Kakinada Special Economic Zone (KSEZ). Her father works as a fisherman to provide for the family of 4. Lakshmi was attending a local government school, when GMRVF staff observed that she excelled in her studies, and invited her to join GMRVF’s NMMS Coaching Centre.</p> <p>The Centrally Sponsored Scheme ‘National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS)’, awards scholarships to meritorious students of economically weaker sections to arrest their drop out and encourage them to complete intermediate studies. Selected students are eligible for a total scholarship amount of Rs. 12,000/- per annum for 4 years from Std. 9 up to Std. 12.</p> <p>In order to enable children from their communities to take advantage of the benefits of this government initiative, GMRVF established NMMS coaching centres. Here, Std. 8 children are given regular tutorials and study materials in order to excel in the entrance test. Apart from this, regular parent- teachers meetings, competitions, mock exams are also held.</p> <p>Lakshmi joined one such Centre and proved to be a diligent student. Her hard work paid off and she, along with 13 of her peers from KSEZ surrounding communities who attended the classes regularly, have been awarded the scholarship.</p> <p>Her parents are extremely proud of her and she is happy to set an example and pave the way for her younger sister. Her dream is to become a doctor so she can serve the people of her village.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/Igniting-Young-Minds-dec-2019.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>To the Bank</h3><br> <p>Appala Raju hails from Kondavalasa village in Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh. Following the untimely death of his father when he was only 7 years old, his young mother courageously took over the responsibility of raising her children by working as a farmer.</p> <p>Due to her perseverance, Raju was able to complete his graduation from a local Degree College. However, after graduating, he remained clueless on what to do next.</p> <p> It was at this time that he heard about the ‘Pratibha’ Centre at Rajam and enrolled as a member. Pratibha library-cum-career counselling center established by GMR Varalakshmi Foundation helps rural youth get to know about various career options and to prepare for competitive exams by providing them with study material, and organizing coaching, career counselling, mock interviews and group discussions.</p> <p>The counsellors at Pratibha exposed him to various career options. Inspired, he began travelling around 30 kms every day to attend the coaching classes. He spent 4-5 hours a day reading the books available in the library.</p> <p>In the beginning, he appeared for many competitive tests conducted by different Govt. agencies but was unable to clear the exams. However, the counsellors encouraged him to not give up.</p> <p>Ultimately, he got selected as a clerk for Andhra Bank. Raju says he will forever be grateful to GMRVF for guiding him and enabling him to provide for his family.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/To-the-Bank.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>The Pride of Kuleth</h3><br> <p>Sukanya Devi hails from the village of Kuleth, Himachal Pradesh, where GMR Group’s Bajoli-Holi Hydro Power Project is located. Her family consists of her father who works as a peon, her mother and four siblings. Due to the family’s dire financial situation, Sukanya was unable to pursue her graduation though she was very interested. Instead, she supported her parents by tending to household chores and looking after her siblings.</p> <p>It was during this period that GMR Varalakshmi Foundation (GMRVF) developed a program to support the higher education of girls from low income families in the area, through Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). In consultation with community leaders, Sukanya was identified as an eligible beneficiary for B.A degree. The GMRVF team ensured her timely enrolment with IGNOU and supported her course fees. She was thrilled to have been selected in the program and began studying devotedly again.</p> <p>A few months later, Sukanya was appointed as a para teacher by the Panchayat and Parents-Teachers association in a nearby Govt. school. The school pays her a monthly honorarium to teach Hindi and Sanskrit to middle school students. Her family, neighbours and friends are proud to say that she is the only girl in the village who is simultaneously studying and working. She has emerged as a ray of hope for her students on how to overcome difficult circumstances and move forward in life.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/The-Pride-of-Kuleth.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Scientist in the Making</h3><br> <p>12 year old Aishwariya Panwar hails from Pandukeshwar village near Badrinath in Uttarakhand where GMR Group is planning a Hydropower Project. Her father works hard in order to provide for the large joint family. She was attending Std. V in a local government school when GMRVF staff invited her to join GMRVF’s After-School Learning Centre (ASLC).</p> <p>GMRVF’S after-school activities are aimed at engaging children beyond school hours to facilitate their holistic development through various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The program aims to improve the learning standards through revisions and additional teaching support. On joining one such centre, Aishwariya proved to be a stellar student and one would find her pouring over her books or helping her classmates.</p> <p>With the support and encouragement of GMRVF staff, Aishwarya enrolled to participate in the district level Vidhyarthi Vigyan Manthan (VVM) exam. VVM is a nationwide science talent search examination held annually. It is a unique initiative that aims to inculcate and generate scientific temper and nurture students for a career in pure sciences. The science and maths exam is organised by eminent scientists and academicians associated with Vigyan Prasar, an autonomous organisation under Dept. of Science and Technology, and National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT).</p> <p>Aishwarya excitedly participated in the exam and stood 2nd at the district level. The achievement has boosted her confidence, and has given her hope that she will someday become a scientist.</p> <p>Her father, Akhilesh Panwar says, “GMRVF’s continuous support and guidance is the key to her success”.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/panwar-edu.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Bringing Hope through Education</h3><br> <p> 7-year old Ajay Kumar hails from Mohanpur Village near GMR Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation (DFCC) project in UP. Ajay’s family belongs to Musahar community which is one of the most socially and economically marginalized communities in the country. Though some of these community members do labour work and manage to buy their food, others have to manage with what they can find. </p> <p>Ajay’s family consists of eight people, who are dependent on the ancestral work of leaf-plate making for marriages and functions. Going to school was a distant dream for Ajay, as like many other children in his community, he had to support elders in making the ends meet.</p> <p>Last year, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation, in association with Govt. Education Department, spearheaded a campaign called “School Chalo Abhiyaan” in his village, with the objective to ensure 100% enrolment of eligible children in schools. Several awareness rallies, meetings and individual counseling sessions with parents resulted in enrollment of children from the Musahar community including Ajay, in schools for the very first time.</p> <p>A recent visit by the Foundation team to the school revealed that Ajay is performing exceedingly well in studies and he got 1st rank in the final exam conducted by the school last year. Ajay has become a role model in his community and several other parents have come forward to put their children in schools.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/ajay-edu.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Mamatha -A Gifted Child!</h3><br> <p> Mamatha lives near the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

He was once a very shy and reticent child and used to feel nervous to ask his teachers about his doubts, to face exams and even to speak in front of a group. But that was history now! GMRVF motivated young Aakash to join the ASLC Programme. Aakash started attending its curricular and co-curricular activities.</p> <p>His achievements here improved Aakash's self-confidence and he never looked back. His confidence spilled over to his regular academics too. "Pahle mein khul ke bol nahin pata tha, ab mein kisi bhi jagah aatm-vishwaash ke saath baat kar leta hoon aur school mein sawal poochhane mein darata nahin hoon. Mujhe ab exam se bhi darr nahin lagata hain" (Earlier I was unable to speak freely but now I can speak fluently in any forum. I can now confidently ask questions in school and face examinations as confidently), says Aakash reflecting the same confidence in his words.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/education-04.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Unlocking the opportunities!</h3><br> <p>Ravi Kishore hails from a poor family in a village near Rajam of Andhra Pradesh. His father works as a daily wage laborer and his income is hardly sufficient to meet the household needs. Ravi passed his intermediate examination with more than 90% marks and dreamed of becoming an engineer. However, poverty forced him to settle for a normal degree course. Recognizing his interest in Engineering Education, GMRVF staff and teachers encouraged him to join B. Tech (Civil) in GMR Institute of Technology. Through its MOU with Andhra Bank, Foundation facilitated Rs 1.20 lakh loan from the Bank, beside provided Rs 38, 000 as interest free loan.</p> <p>Ravi completed his B. Tech in 2010 and joined an aluminum unit at Vizag as a trainee engineer. Ravi is now happy in being able to share the burden of his father and thanks GMRVF for supporting him in realizing his dream.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/education-06.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img success-story"> <h3>Wheels of Hope</h3><br> <p>Bharti Verma was born in Raikheda village, Chhattisgarh and is part of a family of 5. Her father supports the family by undertaking agricultural labour. On completing her secondary education, she considered staying at home and helping her parents with housework since the closest college is 20 kms away.</p> <p>GMR Varalakshmi Foundation observed that like Bharti, other girl children from Raikheda and nearby villages opted out of higher education because commuting to college was difficult. Apart from families being unable to afford the high college transportation fees, they were also worried about safety and security.</p> <p>For these reasons, since 2010, GMRVF has been providing free college transportation facilities for girl children from 4 villages. Until now the initiative has helped 285 girls complete their graduation. Bharti was also able to finish her B.Sc. and is currently working in a government school. Her parents are also extremely happy that their daughter is the first family member who is a graduate.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 case_study_img"> <img src="assets/images/sucess-1.jpg" class="img-fluid case_img"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <ul class="carousel-indicators ourstoryindicator"> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="1"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="2"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="3"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="4"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="5"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="6"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="7"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="8"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="9"></li> <li data-target="#education-slide" data-slide-to="10"></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section>  <section id="Section-Ten" class="padtb-50"> <div class="container"> <div class="row mm-0"> <div class="col-xl-3 col-lg-3 col-md-3"> <div class="sec-box bglblue text-center dis-table w100 text-uppercase br-10"> <a href="education.aspx" class="clwhite f-22 disp-tc">education</a> </div> </div> <div class="col-xl-3 col-lg-3 col-md-3"> <div class="sec-box bglgreen text-center dis-table w100 text-uppercase br-10"> <a href="healthcare.aspx" class="clwhite f-22 disp-tc">health, hygiene and sanitation</a> </div> </div> <div class="col-xl-3 col-lg-3 col-md-3"> <div class="sec-box bglorange text-center dis-table w100 text-uppercase br-10"> <a href="empowerment-and-livelihoods.aspx" class="clwhite f-22 disp-tc">empowerment and livelihoods</a> </div> </div> <div class="col-xl-3 col-lg-3 col-md-3"> <div class="sec-box bgorange text-center dis-table w100 text-uppercase br-10"> <a href="community-development.aspx" class="clwhite f-22 disp-tc">community development</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <style> .bottomconnect a { padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 5px; } .btm-section { position: relative; margin-top: 2px; } .gp-act a { background: url(./assets/images/home/sitemap-new-on.png); width: 188px; height: 30px; display: block; } .gp-act a.active { background: url(./assets/images/home/sitemap-new-off.png); width: 188px; height: 30px; display: block; } .s-act a { background: url(./assets/images/home/group-new-on.png); width: 188px; height: 30px; display: block; } .s-act a.active { background: url(./assets/images/home/group-new-off.png); width: 188px; height: 30px; display: block; } .btm-tabs { position: absolute; right: 6%; top: -29px; } /*site-bottom*/ footer.l_footer { background: #F4F3F8; color: #000; } div#smap { border: 0px; } section.btm-section { border-bottom: 0px !important; } div#gp { border-top: 0px; color: #fff; } .footer-row li::before { content: ''; background: url(assets/images/home/footer-arrow.png) no-repeat; position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 7px; height: 14px; top: 54%; transform: translate(-50%,-50%); -webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-50%); -moz-transform: translate(-50%,-50%); -o-transform: translate(-50%,-50%); } .footer-row li::before { background: url(assets/images/home/white-arrow.png) no-repeat; width: 5px; background-size: 100% !important; top: 16px; position: absolute; } #smap li::before { background: url(assets/images/home/blck-arrow-1.png) no-repeat !important; width: 5px; background-size: 100% !important; background-position: center; top: 16px; position: absolute; } .footer-row li:after { display: none; } .tx_bt_hd { font-weight: 800; text-transform: uppercase; } div#smap li a { color: #959596; font-size: 13px !important; display: initial; line-height: 0px; font-weight: 500 !important; } div#gp li a { color: #fff; font-size: 13px !important; display: initial; line-height: 0px; } div#smap li, div#gp li { padding: 0px 15px 10px 15px; } div#smap ul, div#gp ul { padding-left: 15px; } div#smap li a:hover { font-weight: 500; color: #69696b; } div#smap h1 { font-size: 16px !important; color: #3C3C3E !important; font-weight: 800 !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; } .nobefore span:before{ display:none; } div#gp li a:hover { font-weight: 600; } @media only screen and (min-width:1200px) and (max-width :1450px) { div#smap li a { font-size: 12px !important; } div#smap li, div#gp li { padding: 0px 7px 10px 7px; } } @media (max-width: 767px){ .bottomconnect { margin: 20px 0; } .gramax-cyber { padding: 20px 0px 0px 20px; } } </style> <div class="container copy-rights text-center padtb-30"> <div class="gram-parent"> <div class="gram-child"> <p class="m-0 f-18"><a>© 2024 GMR Group.
