About Biocon Foundation
Biocon Foundation was established in 2004 with the aim of identifying and implementing projects that will impact the social and economic scenario in the country. The main focus areas of the Biocon Foundation are providing quality healthcare and health education for the betterment of Indian society. Arogya Raksha Yojana is the fist step taken by the Biocon Foundation in this direction. Through this initiative, Biocon Foundation aims to provide high quality drugs at affordable prices to the masses at all BioCare Pharmacies and participating clinics.
Biocon Foundation has outlined an integrated outreach strategy with the aim of identifying and implementing projects that will impact the social and economic scenario of the country. The foundation has a strong commitment to promoting education, especially among underprivileged children. We believe an excitement for math, if encouraged at an early age, will go a long way in helping students cope with challenges on the subject in later years.”
The program will first train trainers comprising of school teachers and postgraduate social workers to tutor small groups of children to use the books. Rani Desai, COO, Biocon Foundation said, “We aim to target 20,000 school children in Kannada medium government schools in the first year of the program, in a phased manner. We will assess the children’s math comprehension levels before we start the programme and follow up at the end of one year, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme. We will ensure that the training and tutoring programme is running well in each school before we move to the next school.”
