MESCO Trust & MES: Community Building Through Education & Innovation
A group of friends started MESCO Trust and MES to help people in need.
They found a smart way to collect old newspapers from homes, which now brings in a lot of money.
This helps them run schools, give scholarships, and offer medical aid.
They've been doing this for a long time and have made a big difference in many lives.
MESCO Trust and MES founded by Dr M A Khatkhatay and friends in 1968 and 1977 respectively.
Innovative newspaper collection initiative generates significant annual revenue.
MES runs schools, vocational training, and nursery schools in underserved communities.
Scholarships offered for school, college, diploma, and professional degrees.
MESCO Trust focuses on educational scholarships, medical assistance, and poverty relief.
