Our annual engagement includes sponsoring a class of 30 residential students (presently, in Grade X) . Under this CSR initiative we ensure that students get formal and non-formal education, shelter, nutritious food, medical facility, counselling, and a nurturing environment.

Digital Empowerment and School Enhancement Programme

Digitalization is transforming education as well as social and economic life, shaping their education in early development and learning years. As many children in low-income schools lack this opportunity, ICRA Analytics in collaboration with VIDYA Integrated Development for Youth and Adults enriches the lives of these children through the pillars of educational enrichment, life skills, and digital literacy. By curbing digital divide, it has offered computer literacy accessible and affordable to schools in Mumbai.
School enhancement program is another initiative that not only caters to the learning needs of children but improves teaching development curve for teachers making a better education system. The school education program promotes learning at home, reduces challenging behaviors among children and adds skills to the teachers with new age learning methods. During the financial year 2023-24, ICRA Analytics through VIDYA is offering support to 3100 children in Mumbai under the school education program.

I am ICRA Champ: Employee volunteering Programme

While we partner with external agencies through our various CSR outreach programs, we believe much more is required from each of us. The outreach programs give our employees a platform to engage in social outreach initiatives and community programs, with a holistic approach to “Citizen Social Responsibility”. The programme offers employees to contribute their time, skill and resource towards our beneficiaries, so that they can give back to the society and experience personal growth.
