Tech Mahindra Foundation (TMF), the CSR arm of Tech Mahindra Limited, is aware that India has the world’s largest cohort of young people and nearly 10% of its population is under the age of five. We strongly believe India needs to focus on the overall development of the students for their personal and professional growth.

The Foundation is committed to creating happier and safer classrooms by empowering teachers, educators, and leaders in knowledge, skills, and attitude domains aiming for effective school governance. Through Shikshaantar, one of its flagship programmes in Education, the Foundation has trained over 36,700 teachers of government schools in major cities of India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. In Delhi, the Foundation has been working in partnerships with the East Delhi Municipal Corporation since 2013, and with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation since 2018, by running the In-Service Teacher Education Institutes (ITEIs) on their behalf. 

Various workshops under the Shikshaantar umbrella aim at enhancing parental involvement, the capacity of teachers and teacher educators on leadership, pedagogical skills, and competencies related to subject teaching-learning. For creating a conducive and safe learning space, the Foundation has initiated multiple interventions to create awareness about child safety, mental health awareness programs, empowering teachers with counselling skills to ensure students’ well-being etc.

The Foundation wishes to foster a positive culture and climate through all its programs and activities. The well-being of its employees and creating a culture of respect and collective responsibility are at the core of TMF values. We take a comprehensive approach by extensive training, integrating social-emotional learning through all activities, and a curriculum to specifically develop skills across the core competencies of SEL.
