SRF Foundation 4.09

The Foundation today collaborates with multiple partners to advocate and provide education to the rural areas in India. Its CSR initiatives can be classified into six main programmes, the Mewat Rural Education Programme (MREP), the Mewat Rural Vocational Programme (MRVP), the Enhancing Early Education Programme (3EP), Shri Sambandh, SRF Vidyalaya and The Shri Ram Schools (TSRS).

In a nutshell, the MREP (2009) is designed for children approximately aged 6-14, or classes one through eight. It covers children in 19 villages in the Mewat district of Haryana, India.

The MRVP (2011), on the other hand targets village youth of 15 years of age and above, equipping them with skills that make them employable. A large portion of this age group have dropped out of school due to family circumstances or a lack of interest, hence the need for a vocational programme.

The 3EP is a 6-month nuresery teacher training programme launched in 2007. The programme aims to offer potential and practicing teachers tools and knowledge to foster holistic development of children within 2-8 years of age.

Established in 2008, Shri Sambandh is an academic outreach programme that SRF Foundation is a part of.

SRF Vidyalaya (SRFV) is a school located in Manali, Chennai, dedicated to delivering quality education to children (3 to 15 years) of SRF plant employees and the less fortunate since 1991.

TSRS was initially set up as a part of SRF Foundation in1988, under the vision of the late Mrs. Manju Bharat Ram. It is currently independently run and has expanded to have four campuses in New Delhi and Gurgaon.

Lastly, SRF Foundation actively promotes CSR at all SRF Limited corporate offices and plant locations.
