Silvin Additives, a leading manufacturer of advanced additives for PVC and CPVC pipes, has launched Divadandi, a long-term corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative focused on student development. Named after the Gujarati word for lighthouse, Divadandi symbolises guidance and direction during crucial phases of a student’s academic and personal journey.
Through this initiative, Silvin Additives aims to strengthen academic habits, essential life skills and self-confidence among students as they prepare for board examinations and navigate age-specific challenges.
Programme Reaches 1,800 Students in Chhota Udaipur
The programme commenced earlier this month at Sheth H H Shirolawala High School, Bodeli, in Chhota Udaipur district, and is designed to reach nearly 1,800 students from Standards 9 to 12. Each participating student will receive nine hours of structured training, delivered across three interactive sessions.
The sessions are conducted by Kamal Dabawala and his team, who specialise in student engagement, behavioural transformation and skill development.
Focus on Personality, Planning and Age-Specific Challenges
The first session focuses on personality development and behavioural skills, covering areas such as confidence building, communication skills, emotional awareness and teamwork.
The second session centres on academic planning and exam readiness. Students of Standards 9 and 11 receive guidance on effective study planning, examination strategies and digital discipline, while students of Standards 10 and 12 are supported with board examination preparation, subject-wise planning, stress management and early career orientation.
The final session addresses age-specific challenges. Younger students are guided on early adolescence, self-image, responsible social media usage and balancing academics with personal life. Older students receive practical inputs on managing stress and performance pressure, dealing with future uncertainty, handling expectations from family and school, and avoiding negative influences. The programme also builds awareness around health, safety and digital well-being.
CSR Vision Rooted in Timely Guidance
Commenting on the initiative, Pradip Chokshi, CSR Head, Silvin Additives Pvt. Ltd., said, “Divadandi reflects our long-standing engagement with communities and our belief that timely guidance can make a real difference in a student’s life. Through this initiative, we want to offer practical support that helps students approach their studies and everyday challenges with greater clarity and confidence.”
The Divadandi initiative builds upon Silvin Additives’ earlier education-focused CSR efforts and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to nurturing student learning, resilience and holistic development.
