Bajaj Electricals in
association with ChildFund India has launched their flagship education programme
Mutthi
mai Aasma – Sky is the Limit. The programme is the third phase of their ongoing
initiative Reading Improvement – Books, My Friends.
To begin with, ChildFund India has set up over
100 solarised libraries in government schools across its implementation areas,
by working with its 60 community-based partners. To make reading material more
accessible to children, ChildFund has also introduced solar-powered mobile libraries,
beginning with the first one in Bengaluru.
ChildFund aspires to transform all the
government schools in off-grid areas into model schools by
introducing solar-powered water pumps, solar street lights, toilets, and
well-equipped libraries. The organisation
has successfully piloted the initiative in Udaipur, Rajasthan, and Jhabua,
Madhya Pradesh, with support from Bajaj Electricals.
