Egis Boosts Education Prospects of Students at NeeV

  • Reiterating its commitment to corporate social responsibility, Egis, one of the foremost global consulting, construction, engineering, and operating companies, has announced its further support for the learning centre of underprivileged communities, NeeV, run by the Bharat Memorial Charitable Trust. This will be the second consecutive year of their association, aligning with the 'Being Responsible' core value.

    The support by Egis towards NeeV includes a multi-faceted approach towards the betterment of the educational experience, be it in terms of infrastructure, professional consultancy services, or the required academic resources. Crucially, initiatives based on an internal book donation drive have equipped the centre with educational materials and stationery, adding to the learning environment.

    Having in mind that access to good and affordable education is important, so EGIS' efforts at NeeV envision building a whole educational ecosystem wherein more than 450 students and 43 facilitators may grow together. It builds an atmosphere strictly not covering academic excellence but also developing the skills of leadership, communication, and teamwork for the 21st century.

    Sandeep Gulati, Managing Director - India & South Asia, Egis, focused on the commitment of the company toward community engagement and CSR activities. "At Egis Group, we are dedicated to building community engagement and CSR for a healthy future. Lack of proper infrastructure is one of the major reasons for school dropouts in India. In light of these challenges, all of us need to collaborate to draw up an entire plan for building better infrastructure and facilities in schools. Quality education acts as a vital catalyst that empowers children with self-thrift, and it is the backbone of a country's socio-economic development. These children require academic knowledge, not just to become leaders, but to develop all those critical skills—leadership, communication, teamwork, or working in partnership which are essential to succeed in the 21st century, and we are happy to extend our support to NeeV for the second time in a row."

    Dr. Shalini Malhotra of NeeV pointed out, "Quality academic development holds the key to sustainable and lasting transformation in society. We are deeply grateful to Egis for their unwavering support in enabling us to build a nurturing environment whereby underprivileged students are empowered to continue with their education, helping them envision a bright future for themselves and their loved ones".

    This is not just an educational commitment from Egis; the company is on active service in conserving the environment, fighting climate change, and preserving the beauty of this planet for ensuing generations. On the help extended by Hara Jeevan, Gurugram, Egis has been planting over 2,000 saplings since August 2022. It had also set up an IT center in the CMO Office of Gurugram in 2021, which changed data management and helped in improving the service delivery of healthcare.

    Under the Bharat Memorial Charitable Trust, a learning center, NeeV, was set up in 2007. Based in the village of Nangli Umarpur, off the Golf Course Extension Road, it caters to children from economically weaker sections of Gurgaon in excess of migrant laborers. The beneficiaries, who hail from within a radius of 3 km, have access to bus facilities back and forth from the center. They mostly consist of children of domestic help, gardeners, guards, drivers, masons, people working at construction sites, and rickshaw pullers.

    Operating in 120 countries, Egis is one of the major players in consulting, construction engineering, and mobility service sectors. The Group creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings designed to meet the climate emergency challenge and foster more sustainable, resilient territorial development. Egis draws on the expertise of more than 18,000 employees to deliver cutting-edge innovations that are made accessible to all projects, playing a central role in the collective organization of society and the living environment of citizens worldwide.

    Egis impacts society in many ways and remains dedicated to CSR, hence helping out and striving hard toward making communities knowledgeable with education, environmental sustainability, and better livelihoods.
