Gujarat, 24 June, 2026: Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development (TCSRD) is supporting Shala Praveshotsav 2026 across Okhamandal from 23 to 25 June 2026, distributing educational kits to newly enrolled students and deploying employee volunteers across government schools in the region.

Organised annually by the Government of Gujarat and District Administration, Shala Praveshotsav is a school enrolment drive that welcomes children into Class 1, Balvatika and Anganwadi centres. The initiative also promotes girl child education and encourages broader community participation in early learning.

As part of its support, TCSRD will distribute school bags and educational kits to newly enrolled Class 1 and Balvatika students across government schools in Okhamandal block, benefiting 2,534 students. Employees from over 20 Tata Chemicals departments are volunteering during the event, engaging with students and parents to encourage children as they begin their schooling. The volunteering effort is expected to contribute over 350 hours.

The initiative brings together state government representatives, district administration officials, village leaders, parents and corporate volunteers in a collective effort to strengthen access to early education in the region.

Mr. Rino Raj, Vice President and Site Head, Mithapur, said: "The first day of school is a special milestone in every child's life. Beyond ensuring enrolment, it is equally important to build a sense of excitement, confidence and belonging among children as they begin their learning journey. Through our support to Shala Praveshotsav, we aim to warmly welcome young learners with encouragement and enthusiasm. Together with schools, parents and the wider community, we remain committed to strengthening access to quality education and building a strong foundation for every child's growth, aspirations and future success."
