As part of corporate social responsibility, NR Foundation (formerly the Rangsons Trust), the philanthropic arm of the Mysore-based N Ranga Rao and Sons, famous for their incense sticks, has launched a project to promote sustainable development in the slums of Mysore city with focus on women and child welfare in the fields of health and education. |
The Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM) will execute the 'Project Prerepana' in six slums, having close to 600 children in the age group of 3-16 years. |
Said NR Group chairman R Guru, "Education has always been close to our hearts and we have encouraged projects towards this cause. We have lent our full support to this project. I have faith in these slums' ability to attain sustainable development in due course." |
Health and education are two critical components for human development as enunciated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). |
