Ashok Leyland's Changemaker Award: Improving Literacy and Community Well-being
Imagine a company called Ashok Leyland that wants to help kids and communities.
They started two programs: Road to School (RTS) and Road to Livelihood (RTL).
RTS helps kids learn better in school, and RTL helps older students figure out what they want to do after school.
They also help families and communities by providing healthcare, skills training, and access to government programs.
The programs are growing and helping more and more people, with the aim of reaching a million children by 2030.
It's like giving everyone a better chance to learn and succeed!
Ashok Leyland’s RTS initiative received the Chairperson’s Award 2024.
RTS expanded to eight states, impacting over 4.8 lakh students.
Literacy and numeracy levels improved by 20-30% due to RTS.
RTL supports adolescents with career guidance and digital literacy.
85% of Grade 12 students pursued higher education after RTL mentoring.
