Infosys Foundation to foster learning for Army widows and children
Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic and CSR arm of Infosys, on Wednesday announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Directorate of Indian Army Veterans (DIAV).
Through this collaboration, more than 14,000 widows and children of army personnel from across the country will be able to advance their educational journey. This benefit will be extended to individuals wanting to pursue education from classes 1 to 12, graduation, post-graduation, professional courses, and grants towards computer literacy.
"We appreciate the support of the Infosys Foundation in creating avenues through which widows and children of Indian Army personnel who suffered physical casualties can restart and accelerate their educational journey. This will provide the necessary financial assistance to families of many such army personnel to empower them with a powerful tool like education, that will undoubtedly impact their lives positively, and bring about change", said Brigadier Vikas Bharadwaj – Directorate of Indian Army Veterans (DIAV).
The Infosys Foundation, Trustee, Sunil Kumar Dhareshwar said, "Our long-standing collaboration with the defence forces, along with education being a core pillar of Infosys Foundation's vision, will further help this initiative to equip Army widows and children with knowledge levers that can help them realize their full potential. This collaboration is also aimed at inspiring them to achieve their aspirations, while being financially secure."
