Social Responsibility Programs in India

(Sustainability Journey in India)


P&Gs flagship Corporate Social Responsibility Program Shiksha is an integral part of our global philanthropy program -
Live, Learn & Thrive. Now in its 8th year, Shiksha has till date helped 280,000 underprivileged children access their
right to education. The program has built & supported over 140 schools across India, in partnership with NGOs like
Round Table India (RTI), Save the Children (STC), Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) and Navy Wives Welfare
Association (NWWA), amongst others.
Shiksha began with P&G Indias research which revealed education as the one cause that consumers are most
concerned about and are looking for a simple way to contribute to. With this insight and founded on P&Gs purpose,
Shiksha was launched in 2005 to enable consumers to contribute towards the cause of education of under-privileged
children through simple brand choices.
Since its inception, Shiksha has made a cumulative donation of over Rs. 22 crores towards helping children on the
path to better education. This is a result of the support from our consumers who participated in the Shiksha
movement by buying P&G brands for one quarter of the year, thus enabling P&G to contribute a part of the sales
towards the cause.
Shikshas NGO Partners
Shikshas vision is to help India get to 100% Shiksha
someday, and it is working towards this vision in partnership
with NGOs like Save the Children India, Army Wives Welfare
Association (AWWA), Navy Wives Welfare Association
(NWWA) and Round Table India (RTI), amongst others.
Shiksha Schools

Shiksha aims to build the educational future of India Brick by


Brick by addressing the need for better educational infrastructure
and building the tangible asset of schools. Shikshas interventions
span across health and hygiene facilities at schools such as clean
drinking water and separate toilets for boys and girls, advanced
educational aids such as libraries and computer centres, as well as
basic infrastructure needs such as classrooms.
Shiksha Supporters

Shiksha has evolved into the national consumer movement that it is


today, with the invaluable support of our stakeholders amongst the
media, influencers, employees and customer partners. Over the years,
the program has received generous support from many thought leaders
& celebrities such as actors Anupam Kher, Sushmita Sen, Saif Ali Khan,

Ali Khan; social activist Dr. Kiran Bedi; artist Jatin Das and many more.
Disaster Relief
India has braved several natural disasters in the recent past, such as
the Tsunami in South India, floods in Bihar or earthquakes in J&K
and Gujarat. P&G has stepped forward in each of these calamities
and helped communities get back on their feet. Most recently we
helped rebuild the Army School in Ladakh, located in one of the most
challenging Himalayan Terrains, which was wrecked by the Flash
Floods in 2010.
Parivartan - The Whisper School Program

P&Gs Parivartan (Transformation) Program has been protecting millions of


adolescent girls in India from getting trapped in traditional practices of using
unhygienic cloth for sanitary protection, by providing timely menstrual
education. The program has been improving the lives of over 2 Million girls
annually across 15,000 schools in India. The objective of the program is to
help adolescent girls embrace womanhood positively and enable them to
adopt the right feminine hygiene practices to stay healthy and stay in school.
Parivartan ensures that adolescent girls do not miss school on account of
periods and initiates a series of cascading effects leading to a more equal
gender status in the state.
