Swaraj Tractors and SML Mahindra Rebuild Five Flood-Affected Schools in Punjab

Amritsar, August 06, 2026: Swaraj Tractors and SML Mahindra, both part of the Mahindra Group, have handed over five reconstructed government schools to the Department of School Education, Punjab, in the flood-affected districts of Amritsar and Gurdaspur. The initiative was undertaken as part of the companies’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to restore educational infrastructure damaged by floods.

The schools were formally handed over in the presence of Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, District Education Officer, Amritsar, along with senior representatives from Mahindra Group, Swaraj Tractors, SML Mahindra, and NGO partner Manav Vikas Sansthan.

The rehabilitation project covered five government primary schools located in Machhiwala, Gujjarpura and Samrai villages in Amritsar district, and Mansur and Singhpura villages in Gurdaspur district. The floods had severely damaged school infrastructure, disrupting education for hundreds of students.

The reconstruction included the repair of classrooms, kitchen sheds, boundary walls, sanitation facilities, drinking water infrastructure, school furniture and other essential amenities. To enhance the learning environment, digital learning panels have also been installed in all five schools.

During the handover ceremony at Government Primary School, Machhiwala, Ajnala, school kits containing bags, stationery and other educational essentials were distributed to students. These kits were supported through voluntary contributions made by Swaraj Tractors employees under the company’s employee social responsibility initiatives.

Farida Balsara, Sr. Vice President & Group Head - CSR, Business and Legal Governance, Mahindra Group, said, “This initiative goes beyond restoring infrastructure, it reflects our commitment to drive positive change by empowering communities, especially in times of adversity. By reconstructing the school infrastructure, we hope to provide children with a safe and nurturing environment where they can continue their learning journey.”

According to the companies, the initiative reflects their longstanding association with Punjab and their continued focus on supporting education and strengthening community resilience through sustainable CSR interventions.
