Nasscom
Foundation, the social development arm of Nasscom has
launched the Pune CSR Forum on 23 Oct 2010. The basic
idea behind creating and launching this Forum is to
emphasize and promote volunteerism and raise awareness
on the key role that volunteers can play to bring about
social change.
To mark this launch, volunteers from
several Pune based IT companies and other NGOs put up
a show of dance, songs and skits based on socially relevant
issues and each of the companies had their own theme
which they expressed through music, song and drama.
This event was staged on the Zensar Technologies campus
in Pune on the 23 Oct’10. The companies participating
included, besides Steria, Amdocs, Atos, KPIT, Mphasis,
TCS, WNS, Zensar and so on.
Kalyani Vidyalaya, a school supported
by Steria for children afflicted with Down syndrome,
presented a play with the underlying message that there
is no such thing as disability – whether physical or
mental – and such special children given the opportunity
and the means can rise above their handicap to become
successful in their own right.
We
are happy to inform you that when the curtains came
down at the end of the show, the children of Kalyani
Vidyalaya, made sure, that their school was among the
three projects that walked away with top honors. They
won a number of prizes, including software, hardware
and other computer peripherals.
We would also like to commend the important
role played by our own staff volunteers at Pune, who
worked tirelessly over several weeks with the Kalyani
Vidyalaya children, in order to bring them this important
honor. Thank you Vrushali Jadhav, Shalaka Bodas, Supriya
Sakpal, Jayprakash Pawale, Swaminathan K, Sachin Bhalekar,
Dipti Deshmane, Seema Nair, the Steria Pune CSR teachers
- Jyoti, Sunita, Lata, Shobha, and Ragini.
Our Pune CSR champion, Chaitrali coordinated
the entire effort.
