Corporate Social Responsibility

The Company has proudly donated 4 (Four) Mobile Science Labs to Agastya International Foundation (AIF) for providing hands-on training to school students in various science subjects in the areas of Lakhimpur Kheri, Gonda, Balrampur and Barabanki. The mobile science lab conducts mobile lab visits across all 4 locations and digital classes are also conducted. A total of 74,982 children received an opportunity to expose themselves to such an experience and engage and understand about science. The analysis of the data shows that the gender distribution of the children benefited from the mobile science lab is equally divided, this inference provides a hope and shows the dedication of the BCML CSR to ensure gender equality across all their interventions. Teachers are also given an opportunity to understand a mobile science lab and conduct classes in the same. Science fairs are conducted in order to reach a wider audience and ignite curiosity for science. The teachers shared this experience as an important one for the children as science labs are absent in most of the schools, to understand the idea of science and look at it from a fun perspective.

Another important intervention conducted under BCML’s CSR initiative in the education thematic area is providing support for developing school infrastructure. This helps the school in building a better learning environment and a welcoming and safe space for the school. 55 schools received support in different capacities as per the need of the school during the past year, across all the location.

More than 1500+ benches and desks were distributed to the schools to ensure that children have space to sit and learn, over 10 toilets were refurbished/constructed to ensure safe WaSH for the children in the school. Schools also received other support like water cooler, fans, boundary walls, etc. Almost, 12,733 children will benefit from these interventions.
