AHMEDABAD, SEP 11
Round Table India, a non-profit young men’s organisation which works with a long term goal of Freedom Through Education (FTE) on Saturday announced that it has collaborated with Tata Motors for a noble cause of rebuilding a government-run school in Ahmedabad district.
Under this partnership, RTI will build the school and hand over it to the local body or government to run it.
Tata Group, which is renowned for extending helping hands to the needy rightly epitomises its social responsibilities values like no other. Having been associated with Tata Motors, Team Synergy is more than privileged thereby carving out a niche for itself in playing the part in supporting the education fraternity, says a release.
Under the able leadership of Tr Prashant Kheskani and Dinesh Sitlani, such a historical tie up with Tata Motors in itself marks the staggering endeavour to uplift the society through education infrastructure by RTI.
The fresh collaboration with Tata Motors is aimed at renovating Devadthal Primary School which is in dilapidated state. The school is located in Sanand, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. Such a derelict building is not at all fit for use and therefore RTI, ASRT 328 has taken an initiative to rebuild the structure with an incredible gesture of support by one of the biggest corporate houses of India. ‘‘Our maiden FTE project will become a leading light for the other Tables of RTI,” says the duo.
The team will be building 2 classroom blocks and it will also renovate the existing toilets so that the underprivileged students can have access to well-equipped education infrastructure. The total cost of this work is Rs 10 lac, out of which Rs 1.5 lac will be donated by Tata Motors. The rest of the amount will be fulfilled by the self-raised funds by the ASRT 328 Team.
With utmost pride and enthusiasm and by illustrating a well-known quote, ‘Actions speak larger than Words’ Dinesh Sitlani, Chairman, RTI added, ‘‘This tie-up with India’s leading conglomerate exemplifies our steadfast dedication and commitment to help the society. This is not just collaboration but rather an unprecedented accomplishment that is no less than a driving force for us to do more towards the betterment of the society. It’s because of our constant thirst for helping out the needy that has today enabled us to have been associated with Tata Motors and that’s a big feat.’’
Branding a golden day for RTI, Tr Prashant Kheskani said, ‘‘This landmark tie-up with Tata Motors will further help open doors to many opportunities in finding strong funding partners from the corporate world. It will also enhance trust and credibility in us thereby adding values to our extensive endeavours.’’
The whole RTI team is obliged to the whole team of Tata Motors and not to mention, a veteran industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata who has been spearheading the corporate social responsibilities to an incredible degree and setting a true example of the leader who cares for the society.
