Education gaps in rural and underserved areas, marked by poor infrastructure, low student-teacher ratios, school dropouts, and limited access to quality learning resources, hinder progress toward inclusive and equitable education.
Education is the prime mover of the change-making mission of Jindal Foundation. Jindal Foundation implements comprehensive education initiatives spanning pre-school to higher education, ensuring alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 and India’s Right to Education Act. Key actions include:
Programme Utkarsh, which provide free online, interactive, pre-recruitment coaching.
Enhancing school infrastructure and supporting government schools to meet quality education standards
Deploying trained community teachers and providing books, equipment, financial assistance, and nutritional support.
Promoting computer literacy, functional literacy, and vocational training for vulnerable groups.
Facilitating higher education for low-income families through need-based scholarships.
Establishing premier institutions like OP Jindal Global University, OP Jindal University, OP Jindal Schools, and Jindal Institute of Power Technology.
Special education support through initiatives like ASHA – The Hope.
