UTStarcom recently organized a painting competition for kids to support Concern India Foundation, a non-profit, public charitable trust that supports development-oriented organisations working for the disadvantaged. The competition was held at The Fox Amphitheater, Vatika First India Place, Gurgaon. Elaborating about the competition, Mr. Vijay Yadav, Managing Director – South Asia, UTStarcom, said, “As responsible part of the society, we associated with Concern India Foundation to help them raise funds for helping the underprivileged people. Kids between 5 and 12 years participated in this competition to create a more colorful vision of their world. We had chosen generic themes with which kids of every age-group could relate to — glory of nature, a holiday, and travel to the moon.”
Said Ms. Anita Dhillon, Manager – resource mobilization, Concern India Foundation, “We help to raise funds for about 150 smaller NGOs and projects all over India working on education, healthcare and community development. Through them, Concern India has touched the lives of several lakhs of underprivileged people so far.”
