Egis in India today announced a new partnership with the Shakti Foundation, a registered Society working towards promoting social and economic development and ensuring environmental sustainability for maginalised communities, and renewed it’s multi-year association with the Bharat Memorial Charitable Trust, which runs NeeV, a learning centre for under-served children. Together, the two partnerships are expected to benefit underprivileged children across the National Capital Region.
Ghazipur Circle Centre
At the Ghazipur Circle Centre, run by Shakti Foundation, Egis' support will fund remedial education for children who have either dropped out of school or are struggling to keep pace with their peers, helping bridge learning gaps and mainstream them back into government schools. Egis's contribution will also go towards the rental of the centre's learning floor and academic consumables including books, worksheets, teaching aids and stationery that keep classrooms running day to day.
The centre also hosts a range of enrichment activities, including photography, videography, self-defence, and competitive jump rope training that broaden students’ exposure, build confidence, and develop life skills beyond academic support. The rental support provided by Egis plays a critical enabling role in maintaining the space and infrastructure that makes them possible.
NeeV
Egis in India is renewing its association with the Bharat Memorial Charitable Trust, which runs NeeV, a learning centre delivering education, vocational training and health services to approximately 500 underprivileged children and youth annually. Egis is strengthening the centre's wider ecosystem by supplying essential resources: stationery, library materials, school uniforms and basic amenities, alongside infrastructure improvements and consultancy support drawn from Egis's own engineering expertise.
In India, Egis's sustainability commitment is delivered through its local CSR programme. This initiative builds on a growing portfolio of programs, which has previously included setting up an IT centre at the Civil Surgeon's Office in Gurugram during the COVID-19 pandemic, the multi-year "Clean & Green" plantation drive that planted more than 7,000 saplings and shrubs, and a continuing partnership with NeeV, now in its fourth year, that has already supported over hundreds of students and over 40 facilitators.
The initiative sits squarely within Egis Group's three global sustainability commitments — protecting the environment, growing responsibly, and developing talent — rooted in the conviction that people's quality of life and the health of our planet are one and the same equation. It also reflects the mission of the Egis Foundation, established in 2006, which channels long-term, on-the-ground action into the communities where Egis operates.
About NeeV - the learning centre
NeeV is a learning centre for the under-served under Bharat Memorial Charitable Trust (set up in 1997). It was initiated in 2007 with the intent of imparting education, vocational training and healthcare to the children of the economically weaker population of Gurgaon which has migrant labourers in large numbers.
The centre is located in a village called Nangli Umarpur, a little off the Golf Course Extension Road. Our beneficiaries come from within a radius of 3 kms and have been provided with a bus facility to ferry them to the centre and back. They are primarily children of domestic help, gardeners, guards, drivers, masons, construction site workers and rickshaw pullers
Shakti Foundation
Established in 2010, Shakti Foundation works to build resilient communities by addressing intergenerational poverty through three interconnected pillars: education, livelihoods and financial inclusion.
The organization’s model is rooted in the belief that income stability alone does not transform communities unless accompanied by educational continuity and institutional access. Over the years, Shakti has developed community-embedded centres in high-vulnerability urban settlements, working closely with waste-picker families, informal workers and migrant households. Its education vertical, known as “Panchi,” focuses on ensuring that children from marginalized backgrounds not only enroll in school but remain engaged and progress academically. The Ghazipur CIRCLE Centre in East Delhi exemplifies this approach. Located near one of India’s largest landfill sites, the Centre operates as a structured learning space for children of waste-picker families.
