Religare joins hands with AWWA to develop Asha Schools

CSR
Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) to support the latter in managing their schools for specially-abled children.

  REL will develop the Asha School in Delhi as a model school before moving on to the schools at other locations. Currently, AWWA operates six Asha Schools across the country.

  Under the MOU, REL will support and facilitate a world-class learning experience for AWWA’s Asha Schools students.

  REL will be adopting a module-based approach to activate its association with AWWA. Each module will cover a specific intervention area, including the development of the curriculum, infrastructure and the faculty’s capabilities, medical and nutritional assistance to the students, augmentation of the transportation facilities, vocational guidance and placement/internship assistance.

  REL Executive Chairperson Rashmi Saluja said, “REL visualises a world with equal opportunities for all. It has been our constant endeavour to equip India’s citizens with facilities for growth. AWWA has been doing a fabulous job mentoring and nurturing specially-abled children, enabling them to exceed their potential. We are proud to be able to contribute to their endeavours."

  The ultimate goal is to make the students of Asha Schools Atmanirbhar and enable them to lead independent lives. Our partnership will enable more specially-abled children to shine in society, she added.

  AWWA has established Asha Schools as a ‘Temple of Learning’ for specially-abled children. These schools aim to empower children to make them productive members of society and enable them to live with dignity. REL’s contribution will further equip the schools with world-class technology and facilities for effective learning.
