Our Projects
Enhancing Digital Literacy
Digital Literacy is the need of the hour for everyone. Signode India Foundation, invested and funded in establishing a state-of-the-art Digital Center by providing 30 computers for students at Madagodanahalli Government Pre-University and Muthur Government school and infrastructure to enhance lab functionality at Konagatta Government Pre-University in Karnataka. 10 employees from the plant volunteered during the inaugural ceremony. We demonstrated agility and planning by executing the entire project in just 25 days at the 3 institutions. The digital centers across the two locations will enable nearly 400 young minds of India to explore their passion in STEM courses by providing access to information, skills development and career opportunities.
This will enable the Madagodanahalli Pre-University to introduce the below new courses from June 2023 onwards.
