In partnership with SG GSC the Model School Programme is envisaged as a high impact programme with an aim to bring about a pedagogical change in the school education system. This will be done to equip, skill and train schools and students to become ‘Agents of Change’ in a phased manner by integrating holistic learning, conservation, meaningful civic engagement and with a focus on environmentally friendly technologies. Launched in December 2018 with one pilot school in Bangalore, it has now successfully scaled to13 schools across Chennai and Bangalore by March 2021. In its 26-year journey, TIDE has been promoting sustainable development through innovative technological interventions. |

Through the partnership with Societe Generale, SayTrees will rejuvenate the 50-acre Nallurhalli lake, along with urban afforestation to improve the conditions of the ecosystem of the lake and, provide protection from further damage and encroachment. The lake will also be rejuvenated to support a thriving eco-system, accessible to the local neighbourhood with a walking track and other amenities. The project also includes tree plantation around the lake boundary which are beneficial to the environment and suitable to be grown as per the weather and other environmental factors preferably with medicinal properties aimed at improving the quality of air and surroundings for years to come. |
FFE was founded in 1994 with a mission to provide college scholarships to students who, although financially constrained, show great promise in the technological, engineering and medical fields. This project seeks to transform the lives of academically gifted and financially needy students by supporting them through their professional Engineering education by awarding scholarships. Through this partnership students pursue their dreams of professional education in Engineering/Technology (BE/B.Tech) and are granted a scholarship for the 4 years of their undergraduate study programme. Currently, many students abandon such dreams as the current financial restraints faced by many families curtail such ambitions. Further, by awarding merit-based scholarships, students can stay focused on the demands of an all-round professional education with a goal to excel without additional financial burden. |

The collaboration with SG GSC aims at creating a small forest near Bangalore and Chennai regions, to tackle environmental challenges, while also recharging ground water, attracting flora and fauna, etc. |
