In today’s world, what does a school without a lab or electricity or a computer amount to? No opportunities.
Our belief in setting up sustainable and state-of-the-art schools meant that we addressed the smallest and largest needs of students to ensure a holistic learning experience, providing access to schools that were on par with their counterparts in urban spaces.
Here’s what we did across India:
* Solar Power: On-grid systems in 7 schools (Mumbai & Palghar), off-grid setup in 1 Ashramshala (Dahanu) with 5 street lights for safety & water access
* Smart Classrooms: 40 schools in Kadappa, AP, powered by solar for uninterrupted tech-based learning
* Robotics Lab: First-ever for 350 low-income students in Bangalore
* Inclusive Education: 1,000 visually impaired students at NAB Mumbai now have an upgraded, accessible school
* Green Initiatives: Project Green Tech Buddies (organic farming for students) & Solar Harvests Project (empowering local farmers for better school nutrition)
* Infrastructure Upgrades: 7 Anganwadis & 1 school renovated in Telangana to boost enrollment
We build schools that educate, empower, and inspire!

We had the absolute joy of hosting a vibrant Colours of Concern event with 60 differently-abled children in Kolkata — and what a day it was!

From lively drawing and coloring sessions to soulful performances and a mesmerizing magic show, the kids were glowing with excitement and creativity.

A huge shout-out to young changemaker Nitya Himatasingka, whose passion and commitment brought this entire event to life. Not only did she raise the funds to make it happen, but she also dove right into the experience, engaging with the children, encouraging them, and sharing in their joy through art, music, and dance.

The energy was infectious, the smiles were endless, and the impact was unforgettable. Many parents asked us to do more of these — and we certainly will, with inspiring young leaders like Nitya by our side!

Happy Earth Day
Beneath our feet, the earth still sings
In rustling leaves and flowing springs.
Take each step with care, restore with grace,
And leave a greener, kinder trace.
Every drop, every seed, every hand makes a difference.

Buzzing with Success!

Our efforts at establishing beekeeping as a lucrative form of livelihood for rural women in Banki block Odisha are reaping gratifying rewards.
Watch these incredible women in action as they skillfully manage their hives, care for the bees and harvest golden honey with confidence and pride.

We are grateful to DCB Bank Ltd. for supporting this initiative for 3 years.

One morning, the students stepped into their school, but something had changed.
The plain, boring walls were gone. The walls now narrate stories, the water cycle swirling in blues and whites, planets of the solar system floating in orbit, and the mighty forts of Raigad rising in earthy browns, telling tales of bravery and history.
Numbers and alphabets weren’t just written on the board anymore; they twirled in bright hues on the walls. The classrooms of Zilla Parishad School of Kanchangaon, Maharashtra, felt alive, and so did the children.
Art does more than decorate walls; it inspires minds, fuels imagination and motivates every child to dream bigger. Through these vibrant classrooms, Concern India Foundation has created more than just a place to study — they've created a space to believe, belong, and become.

In regions with no hospitals, an ambulance can mean the difference between life and loss.⁠
⁠
With the support of SBICAPS, Concern India Foundation has provided 5 Type B Trax ambulances to Primary Health Centers in Wavi, Malgaon, Taharabad, Kajisangvi, and Dhamangaon—reaching over 42,000 people across remote villages in Nashik.⁠
⁠
At the handover ceremony, held in the Zilla Parishad office, Shri Virendra Bansal, MD & CEO of SBICAPS, along with local health officials jointly marked this milestone in emergency care access.⁠
⁠
This is more than just a CSR initiative—it’s a lifeline. A step towards timely, reliable healthcare for every person, no matter how far they live. ⁠

Imagine a hospital without an oxygen cylinder, a public health center without a trained nurse,
or managing an emergency without an ambulance.
For many low-income communities across Maharashtra and Karnataka, this has been an
everyday reality—where access to basic healthcare is a challenge, traditional home remedies are
the only option, and timely medical support is almost nonexistent.
At Concern India Foundation, we believe that building healthier communities starts with
strengthening both infrastructure and healthcare providers. With Public Health Centres (PHCs)
as the backbone of our efforts, our focus this year has been to enhance these centers to
provide sustainable and comprehensive healthcare.
From equipping PHCs with essential medical devices like X-ray and ECG machines to
supplementing non-medical infrastructure like solar electrification, we have worked tirelessly to
bridge critical gaps in healthcare delivery.
We’ve also:
✅ Trained local healthcare providers
✅ Donated state-of-the-art ambulances and wheelchairs
✅ Renovated and refurbished deteriorating healthcare centers
✅ Strengthened emergency response systems
The result- 84,484 lives transformed—people who now sleep peacefully, knowing that healthcare is no longer a distant dream but a reality within reach.

Happy Concern Day! 🎉

Today, we celebrate 34 incredible years of empowering lives, strengthening communities, and spreading smiles!

Today, safety has many facets—personal safety, road safety and cybersecurity—which are crucial, especially for children. Concern India Foundation, with support from AWS, has been working with Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) schools to run the ‘Suraksha’ programme for the past four years, having reached out to over 14,000 students across 23 schools on various topics related to safety, security and personal hygiene.

As a culmination of these school sessions each year, creative activities are planned to help children assimilate and confidently share their learning. This year, the Suraksha programme reached out to 6 schools and over 2900 children, out of which 5 schools and 200 children showcased their learning through the final event. These students engaged with the theme and demonstrated engaging skits and street plays.

Each school presented creative performances that effectively conveyed their messages and learnings. The event was further enriched by insights from Ms. Aruna Yadav, Education Officer, NMMC, who shared her experiences of being a theater artist as well as her passion towards education with the students. Teachers worked tirelessly to train the students, and their efforts were evident in the children's confident and enthusiastic performances.

This grand finale was not just a competition but a celebration of awareness, creativity, and empowerment. It reinforced the importance of safety in every aspect of life and highlighted how young minds, when guided well, can become powerful advocates for change. As these children return to their schools and communities, they carry with them the confidence, knowledge, and responsibility to create a safer future for all.

We are overjoyed to be bringing back Colours of Concern, our art event for differently-abled children in Kolkata, after a 5-year break. This event, which means so much to us all, has been made possible through the heartfelt efforts of young Nitya Himatsingka, a Class XII student of Modern High School for Girls. Nitya, with incredible passion and dedication, launched a fundraising campaign to make this day a reality. Her deep commitment to this cause reflects her genuine desire to give these children a day filled with joy, creativity, and unforgettable memories. Not only has she raised the funds needed, but Nitya will also be right there with the children, helping them express themselves through art, followed by a magic show, performances, music, dancing, and a feast of joy. Nitya, your kindness and determination are lighting up these children's lives in ways words can’t fully capture. Thank you for making this dream come true!

We recently organized two enriching exposure visits for 27 farmers from Vypin as part of our project to revive the traditional practice of integrated pokkali-shrimp cultivation in the Vypin islands-our project supported by @dcb_bank CSR. Pokkali rice is a species which thrives in brackish water.

March 11, 2025

Malabar Kaipad Farmer Society, Kannur-Farmers exchanged knowledge on unique farming methods and toured a kaipad field. Kaipad farming is a traditional, naturally organic rice cultivation system which also flourishes in brackish waters, relying on monsoon and sea tides.

March 17, 2025

Rice Research Station & Kerala Agro Machinery Corporation Ltd (KAMCO), Athani- Farmers explored innovative seeds, techniques, and mechanization options.

Together, we're empowering farmers with valuable insights to sustain and innovate traditional farming!

With the theme Accelerate Action, we celebrated International Women’s Day 2025 on March 19th in Navi Mumbai. Over 200 women came together to set up a Women’s Marketplace, and shared their entrepreneurial journeys. As part of the ‘Sankalp’ program to empower budding women entrepreneurs and provide them with the tools & connections that they need, these women have demonstrated remarkable grit and determination in overcoming their barriers and realizing their dreams.

Under sankalp, over the past four years, we have trained over 800 women, and their success stories serve as a powerful inspiration, encouraging others to believe in their potential and take bold steps forward. This year, we trained over 230 women, out of which 100 women were selected and provided with seed money, reinforcing the commitment to fostering women-led businesses.

All this has been made possible with the unwavering support of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the Rabale region and the cooperation of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). Their dedication has fueled a movement that is transforming communities and creating economic independence for women.

The celebration was filled with energy and optimism, graced by the presence of Ms. Rishita Acharya, Mr. Chaitanya Pathak, AWS volunteers, NMMC representatives, and Ms. Ketaki Ashish, an entrepreneur from Mumbai running K2 Fashion, along with the Concern India Foundation team. Ms. Rishita admired the women for their inner strength and beauty, and motivated them to continue their journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

This moment is a testament to the indomitable spirit of women entrepreneurs. With every story of success, every barrier broken, and every dream realized, we accelerate toward a future where women's empowerment isn't just an event but a way of life. Together, we move forward—faster, stronger, and bolder.

Our project in Banki block, Cuttack district, Odisha supported by @dcb_bank CSR witnessed excitement when 118 rural women who have been trained and supported to become competent beekeepers over the past 3 years, were felicitated. Each woman received a certificate and a fruit sapling while 13 best performing women received a bee box and bee colony each. Prizes were given out by Mr. Priyabrata Samal, Regional Head, Odisha and Jharkhand. It was gratifying to have Ms. Deepti Sagarika Sahu, Assistant Horticulture Officer, Banki Block, address and encourage the bee keepers, informing them about government schemes they could avail of. She also shared her contact number with them. Truly a full circle of development for the women which simultaneously contributes to biodiversity and crop yield improvement.

In the Vypin Islands, Kerala, we’re bringing an age-old tradition back to life—the cultivation of Pokkali rice! This unique farming method, which thrives in brackish waters, is set to make a comeback, thanks to a collaborative effort supported by DCB Bank.

At our recent multi-stakeholder meeting, Mr. Gaurav Mehta from DCB Bank, along with experts from Concern India Foundation and the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, joined forces to survey the fields, interact with local farmers and Gram Panchayat members, and discuss the way forward.

Beyond just reviving a traditional practice, this initiative will enhance biodiversity, improve environmental resilience, and create sustainable livelihoods for the local community.

Stay with us as we cultivate change.

On February 5th, as part of our Beekeeping-Based Livelihood Development Project, supported by @dcb_bank , we launched 19 audio-visual guides on best beekeeping practices on YouTube. These resources are designed to empower women beekeepers in our program and benefit beekeepers across Odisha.

115 beekeepers and their families in attendance, along with esteemed government officials who joined the hive of excitement. To make learning accessible and interactive, we provided each participant with QR-coded booklets, allowing them to scan, watch and learn anytime, anywhere! Guess what? These incredible women quickly embraced this new tool, making knowledge-sharing as easy as a honeybee’s flight!

With this tech-meets-tradition approach, beekeepers can now enhance their skills, boost productivity, and build a sustainable future anywhere in Odisha—one hive at a time.
