The Foundation has also donated medicines in addition to organizing health camps in rural India.

  • Arts and culture

    Description

    Ancient art forms can be preserved and passed down from generation to generation by showcasing the skills of artists. The Infosys Foundation promotes traditional art, dance and craft. The Foundation identifies underprivileged artists who don't have access to contacts or help.

    These include writers, painters, poets, and musicians from different walks of life. The Foundation assists them on a need basis by offering financial assistance, promoting their art, or helping them receive the much-deserved recognition.

  • Education

    Description

    The Foundation seeks to address two crucial aspects of the education conundrum in India – first, finding ways to create more opportunities for girls, especially those from marginalized sections of society and rural areas, to stay in school longer and second, to fix the broken ladder connecting education and employability for all. Today, less than half of India’s youth have the necessary employable skills that the industry needs.

    The Foundation seeks to help holistically – from foundational education for children to support for their higher education and job-skills training – with a special focus on practical STEM and digital skills, as that’s where a large percentage of future jobs will come from.

  • Environmental Sustainability

    Description

    Natural lakes in and around Bengaluru are the pride of the city, but many are in disrepair due to waste and silt deposits and overgrowth of plants. The Foundation has been instrumental in rejuvenating water bodies across Karnataka and this year, it restored five lakes in and around Electronic City in Bengaluru. The rejuvenation efforts led to a combined capacity creation of 3.6 billion liters of water.

    The Foundation has been working with Visakha Jilla Nava Nirmana Samithi (VJNNS) to implement innovative Gravity Fed Water Supply Systems in around 3,500 villages in Andhra Pradesh to ensure they get clean drinking water throughout the year. The Foundation has funded a total of 332 systems in seven years.

  • Women Empowerment

    Description

    The Foundation laid great emphasis on women’s and children’s health. Thus, there were projects such as building a 100-bed maternity and childcare hospital in Kanakapura, Bengaluru, partnering with the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) to use technology-driven solutions to improve maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes in public health settings in Karnataka, and working with Sangath to establish a model to increase awareness about maternal mental health in eight districts of Madhya Pradesh. These projects are meant to fortify the health situation of women and children, especially in rural areas, so that the women are not held back by health related reasons to meaningfully contribute to society’s growth.

    Along with these, the women focused projects in Education, such as the Girls for Gold program with GoSports and the school funding for CITTA Education Foundation India, are efforts to clear the way for girls and women to create the next opportunities in their lives. This report shows a glimpse of the systemic changes the Foundation is making.
