A corporate social responsibility initiative will channel ₹250 crore to modernise 26 government schools in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, aiming to improve infrastructure and learning outcomes.
A corporate social responsibility (CSR) fund of ₹250 crore has been earmarked to upgrade 26 government schools in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. The project, announced by the state education department, will focus on renovating classrooms, installing digital learning tools, and improving sanitation facilities.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance educational infrastructure in rural areas. Officials say the funds will be disbursed in phases, with the first tranche covering structural repairs and the latter stages introducing technology-enabled teaching aids.
Local education officers expect the upgrades to boost enrolment and reduce dropout rates. Parents and teachers in the district have welcomed the investment, noting that better facilities could transform the learning environment for thousands of students.
The CSR contribution comes from a consortium of private companies that have pledged to support public schools across Andhra Pradesh. The state government will monitor progress through quarterly reports and ensure transparent use of the allocated budget.
