The Adult literacy program, running since year 2004 at all manufacturing locations of JK Tyre has transformed the lives of more than 50,000 rural illiterate women. These women are now functionally literate, may read and write with ease, do basic calculations, help their children in study, started income generation activities and moving ahead on path of progress and prosperity. The Adult literacy program at Central Prison, Mysore is a unique initiative and it helped more than 5,500 prison inmates to become functionally literate. A third party impact assessment of adult literacy program has revealed that project has been extremely successful. In addition to educating illiterate rural women, the project had been instrumental in improving women’s position in society, education of their children, entrepreneurship development; increase in household income and eventually improvement in quality of life of these neo-literates.

ADOPTION OF GOVERNMENT ‘ITI’S

JK Tyre has adopted 3 Government ITI’s under public private partnership model to impart job oriented quality vocational education for the benefit of more than 500 local students each academic year. This engagement has resulted in enhancing reputation of adopted ITI’s, wherein now campus interviews are being conducted by reputed corporates providing almost hundred per cent employment to these students.

SUPPORT TO SCHOOLS

Many schools are also supported to bring improvement in pedagogy, learning outcomes, digital learning and infrastructure. The remedial classes are run for weaker students after the school timings, so they may catch up with other students and get mainstreamed.
