Posted by: 2016-08-02 04:07:29 ,By Raj Kumar
Companies will now be encouraged to fund government school projects in Haryana as part of the state government?s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. A co-ordination committee has been formed as part of a measure aimed at filling the funding gap in the sector and improving the quality of education, state Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma said here on Sunday.
He said the state was striving to uplift Education Development Indicators. ?Fortunately, Haryana has a large number of reputed corporate houses and the government is keen to attract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds, directly or indirectly, apart from the state budget allocated for education, so as to inject quality in education system,? Sharma said.
The government has framed a state-level CSR Co-ordination Committee in education with an aim to fill funding gaps in the government school projects and to avoid the duplication in ongoing projects, he said in a statement.
