Empowering Education Beyond Classrooms: KFintech’s CSR Activity at CSIR-IICT Hyderabad

January 19, 2024

Businesses have the power to lead and create impactful change, contributing to a world where they thrive and grow but also uplift communities.

In this spirit, KFintech’s recent CSR initiative brought together 83 students and 3 lecturers from Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Degree College (TTWRDC) Women College Mahabubabad for an insightful visit to CSIR-IICT Hyderabad. This initiative aimed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, with the opportunity to witness cutting-edge research and development.

Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi. In India, it is one of the oldest National Laboratories and a reliable destination for chemical and biotech industries.

Exploring Bio-Hydrogen Reactors and Environmental Conservation

One of the key highlights of the visit was the exploration of bio-hydrogen reactors, where the students learned about their processes and their significance in creating a sustainable and eco-friendly future.

Pheromones and Innovative Pest Control Strategies

Atmospheric Water Generator: A Solution to Water Scarcity

The demonstration of an atmospheric water generator added a practical dimension to the visit. In a world with water scarcity, students witnessed firsthand a technology designed to extract water from the atmosphere.

Biogas Production from Organic Waste

The students also learned about the process of generating biogas (CH4) using rotten vegetables and fruits, helping them understand waste management and renewable energy sources.

Gratitude & Testimonials from TTWRDC Women’s College Mahabubabad

The gratitude expressed by the students and staff of TTWRDC Women’s College Mahabubabad echoed the success of this initiative. Testimonials highlighted the invaluable knowledge gained during the visit.

Nurturing Future Talent – KFintech’s CSR Initiative at NIN Leaves a Lasting Impact

November 24, 2023

In the ever-changing world of CSR in India, where philanthropy often takes center stage, KFintech is setting new standards by embedding strategy and transparency in our CSR initiatives. The recent CSR visit organized by KFintech for 91 B.Sc. Food Sciences students from the TTWRDC (Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Degree Colleges) women’s college in Mahabubabad and the NIN (National Institute of Nutrition) in Hyderabad exemplifies KFintech’s dedication to making a positive impact in society.

We at KFintech are changing the narrative of CSR in India. In the past, CSR was just about giving to charity. But KFintech’s CSR team took the initiative to visit the NIN, where the students were introduced to the complex world of nutrition and health. This shift towards strategic CSR reflects the shift from philanthropy to sustainable and impactful initiatives.

An Immersive Learning Experience

The program kicked off with a compelling video presentation by NIN authorities at their auditorium, shedding light on the institute’s history and the pivotal role it played in shaping nutrition research in India. The video was followed by a captivating and informative session delivered by Scientist-C of NIN’s Drug Safety Division, Dr. Ravindranathi Palika. He highlighted the importance of keeping haemoglobin levels high in adults.

Dr. Palika explained that NIN had conducted research on a sample of students, and over 60% of them had anemia. They helped these students by providing iron tablets, and when an analysis was conducted after 3 months, 71% of the students showed improvement in their hemoglobin levels. During Dr. Palika’s presentation, he discussed the double-fortified salt, which contains iodine and iron, as well as NIN’s guidelines for oil packets. The institute’s focus on preventing nutritional deficiencies is in line with the overall goal of making the world a healthier place.

Lab Insights and Museum Marvels

The students visited NIN laboratories, where they were able to experience amino acid analysis. NIN technical officers demonstrated the procedure for amino acid analysis to them in order to demonstrate the practical application of their academic knowledge. The highlight of the visit was a tour of the NIN Museum, which had sections on different aspects of nutrition such as the importance of fat in our diet, the effects of not eating enough fat on cancer, etc.

In addition, the museum had various exhibits on various topics, such as the growth patterns of Indian and American babies, the effects of aflatoxin on their growth, etc. This holistic approach to education not only expanded their knowledge but also imprinted a lasting impression on their minds.

Volunteers’ Dedication

A crucial aspect of these successful CSR initiatives was the dedication of KFintech’s volunteers. These individuals came from different departments, such as HR and Corporate Registry. They played a key role in making sure the program went off without a hitch. Their willingness to lead students throughout the day shows the kind of community engagement that KFintech advocates.

The following volunteers deserve a huge round of applause:

  • Neelima Bheemagari – HR
  • Praveen Gude – HR
  • Praveen Chaturvedi – Corporate Registry
  • Durga Shankar – Corporate Registry
  • Shanti Priya – Corporate Registry
  • Pavani Shapuram – Corporate Registry
  • Barudu Srinivas – CSR member
  • Shailaja Manukonda – HR
  • Narsing Dontoji – CSR member

Testimonials from the Students

Group 1 (Kalyani, Akhila, and Anusha): “We are very happy as we gained a lot of knowledge today. Sir’s (Dr. Ravindranath’s) talk was superb. Our goal now is to get a job at NIN. We would like to visit this place again.”

Group 2 (Shaik Aisya, Pulluri Snigdha, and Taruna): “We were very excited when we stepped into NIN premises. We have learned a lot of things today. Thank you so much.”

Group 3 (Deepika, Ramya, and Sarisha): “We gained a lot of knowledge on chromatography. This visit is a God-given gift to me.”

The students’ testimonials were even more heart-warming, expressing their appreciation for the valuable experience.

Principal’s Appreciation

“Visiting NIN is really a good opportunity for the students, as they experienced various aspects and facts in the field of nutrition. The program was very informative and helpful to the students because they had a sound command over the core concepts. We are very thankful to the KFintech team, especially Shailaja Ma’am and Narsing Rao Sir, who are leading CSR and spending their valuable time for the successful accomplishment of the entire program. Thanks to the entire team at KFintech from the bottom of our hearts.”

Conclusion

KFintech’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program at National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) is a perfect example of how corporations can go beyond philanthropy to make a real and lasting difference in society. By combining strategic planning, real-world experience, and community involvement, not only did KFintech make a difference in the lives of those students, but it also helped to achieve the larger objective of improving the health and well-being of society. As a result, this initiative serves as a model for other companies to adopt corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a means of making a positive impact and contributing to sustainable development.

KFintech and GMR Aero Technic – Empowering Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Fine Arts Academy Students

November 21, 2023

We at KFintech recently took an important step towards educational empowerment by coordinating with GMR Aero Technic (GAT) for an enlightening visit to GMR (MRO) facility in Shamshabad, Telangana. The students of Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Fine Arts Academy (W) Siricilla, were the beneficiaries of this amazing event.

This visit was planned to provide students a comprehensive introduction to the world of aeronautics and aeronautical infrastructure. The objective of this activity was to give hands-on demonstration of aircraft engines, inflatable hangers, and interactive sessions on engine specification, space and airport activities. We wanted to instil real-life design challenges and inspire the students  to pursue a career in aeronautics. Students also had the chance to interact with industry experts, observe the complicated design components, and gain ideas to pursue their future endeavours.

The Monumental Day

8th October 2023 was a memorable day for the students of TTWR Fine Arts Academy (W) Siricilla. KFintech organised a visit to GMR Aero Tech (GAT) Airframe Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) section which provides base and line maintenance services for commercial flights. 45 students along with 2 teachers participated in the visit.

Why take fine art students to an airport, just to show them an airplane up close? No. We wanted the students to see and be informed of the interior of any aircraft and know that it is designed by fashion designers. That the fine arts students at Siricilla Fine Arts Academy should be proud of the profession they have chosen. This session was highly appreciated by the students. 

The Guests

Mr. E Bhaskar Babu, Manager – Projects, GMR MRO section walked the students through the hangars and briefed them on the end-to-end infrastructure of an aircraft. Being their first visit to an airport, the students were brimming with excitement! They were overwhelmed seeing live aircraft engines and aeroplanes in such proximity.

They were taken through the inflatable hanger section which was a lifetime experience for the students. The icing on the cake was aeroplanes flying over the hangar as the students were going around the MRO section.

Few words of appreciation from the Principal 

“I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the invaluable support and collaboration extended to us. KFintech’s recent initiative in organising a site visit for our Interior Design Department students has left an indelible mark on our institution.

The opportunity the team provided to our students to explore real-world applications of interior design principles has been truly enriching. We are delighted to have a CSR partner like KFin Technologies that values the growth and development of the next generation.

The site visit has not only broadened our students’ horizon but also strengthened our partnership. We look forward to continued collaboration with KFintech and believe that together we can create more opportunities for knowledge sharing and growth.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and a special thanks to Shailaja Madam and Narsing Rao Sir for their efforts in making all this possible. We eagerly wait for future endeavours together.”

Ms. K Rajani, Principal, TTWR Fine Arts Academy (W), Sircilla

Faculty Experience

“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our CSR partner KFintech Management and special thanks to Shailaja Madam and Narsing Sir for organising the airport hangar site visit for our college’s interior design department students.

It was an incredible and enriching experience that left a lasting impact on both our students and faculty. The visit not only provided our students with a unique opportunity to visit real-world design challenges but also allowed them to interact with industry professionals, gaining valuable insights and inspiration for their future careers. Your support and collaboration have been instrumental in broadening our students’ horizons and enhancing their educational journey.”

Ms.Dipanwita Saha, Head (Interior Design Department), TTWR Fine Arts Academy (W), Sircilla

Reshaping the Future of Young Bright Minds of Jinnaram Tribal Welfare Boys’ School

September 21, 2023

We at KFintech hold a steadfast commitment to corporate social responsibility that extends far beyond our core business operations. CSR is about making a real difference in the lives of those who most need it. We take great pride in being a catalyst for the success of tribal students in Telangana, and our CSR initiatives are designed to reshape their futures.

On September 1st, 2023, the KFintech CSR committee achieved a significant milestone by celebrating the academic achievement of students from Jinnaram Tribal Welfare Boys’ School. The young minds, who had excelled in their studies, were presented with 21 laptops as a sign of our support. 

This event was graced by the Additional Secretary from Tribal Welfare, Smt. P. Madhavi Devi with other esteemed dignitaries from the Tribal Welfare Department, along with our Chief People Officer, Kiran Aidhi.

However, KFintech’s dedication to transformation goes beyond just providing laptops. We went above and beyond by inviting these students’ proud parents to share the stage with them, signifying a shared path to success. Everyone could see the faces of the parents, their smiles, and their tears, which were narrating the hard work of the students and our promise to change their lives. The idea that education is the key to a better future is at the heart of KFintech’s CSR philosophy. These talented young minds are now on the path to fulfilling their dreams. We are sure that these students will achieve great things if they are persistent and given ongoing guidance.

This transformative event signifies our dedication to bringing positive change to our society, where education can be the key to making a difference. Our CSR initiatives are not just about corporate philanthropy; we believe in a comprehensive approach to empowering individuals and uplifting the entire community. We believe investing in education and nurturing young talent is the need of the hour, and we are actively contributing to building a stronger and more equitable society. But change doesn’t come in a day; one has to work for it continuously with belief and vision.

We want our youth to achieve their dreams and excel in their respective fields, and education is the core pillar in order to witness their success stories.

KFintech’s CSR initiative is a shining example of how businesses can play a crucial role in empowering young, bright minds and creating a brighter future. KFintech’s commitment to education and empowerment is more than just a corporate responsibility; it’s an initiative that gives Telangana’s future leaders hope and opportunities.
