FUJIFILM India Expands Its Model School Programme For Less Privileged Children

New Delhi, April 30, 2024: Healthcare, electronics, imaging and business innovation company FUJIFILM India has extended it FUJIFILM India Model School Programme in its efforts to broaden educational opportunities for less privileged children.

Under its CSR endeavour, the company has financially supported two schools in MG Road, Gurugram and Jajru, Faridabad. Standing true to its Group Philosophy “Giving Our World More Smiles”, the initiative aims to spread smiles to the communities that need it the most.

Last year, FUJIFILM India undertook a transformative initiative by revitalizing two government schools in Haryana. FUJIFILM India refurbished and remodeled the Government Primary School located in the heart of Sushant Lok, Gurugram, Haryana into the FUJIFILM India Model School, making it a modern and inspiring space where students can thrive. It also revamped the Government Middle School in village Jajru in Faridabad, Haryana.

This year, FUJIFILM India focused on sustaining the progress made in the previous academic session by undertaking the Annual Maintenance of both schools along with providing essential supplies such as bags, stationaries, and shoes to the students. These efforts aim to alleviate some of the burdens faced by students and educators while fostering an environment conducive to learning.

Reflecting on the initiatives undertaken by the company, Koji Wada, Managing Director of FUJIFILM India, shared, "As a responsible corporate citizen, FUJIFILM India has been doing its best to provide support to weaker sections of the society. Be it the TB Screening Campaign in Gujarat which is revolutionizing TB detection in India or our FUJIFILM Model School program which is supporting government schools and their students in whatever small ways we can, our mission is to reach to the last person in the society so that they can benefit from our activities. Today’s activity at the school in Gurugram is an example of how we follow our group purpose “Giving our World More Smiles.” Through our sustainability activities.”

Abhi Shekhar Singh, Vertical Head, Corporate Communications and CSR, said, "The CSR Activity at Gurugram and Jajru in Faridabad are an extension to what we started last year. The thought from our side was to continue maintaining the schools that we refurbished and support the students with minimum basics of what we can. In this thought, we prepared school bags, shoes and a stationary kit for each kid and gave it to them at the very start of their academic sessions. We were of the idea that such goods for the children will motivate them about the new session and classes that they are starting and will help them understand the importance of education.”

The previous initiative undertaken by FUJIFILM India resulted in a tangible increase in student attendance and engagement, underscoring the importance of continued investment in education. By revitalizing the schools and providing ongoing support, FUJIFILM India aims to empower students to unlock their full potential and pursue their dreams. Through partnerships, innovation, and dedication, FUJIFILM India continues to be a catalyst for progress and transformation in the realm of education.
