WIPRO

Wipro’s initiative to help in societal change and development focuses to improve the quality of education in schools. Schools across the country tend to be regimented and homogenous, with no space for individual interpretations or conceptual learning – memorizing is learning.

Schools have to be spaces that nurture these principles, capabilities and values. They work towards bringing about this change through partnerships with civil society organizations.
