The Pahwa Group's flagship companies, Bry-Air and DRI, held a sports day for the Pathshala students on January 24, 2023, in commemoration of the International Day of Education, at the Literacy India playground in Bajghera village, Gurugram, and about 250 youngsters took part.
With a commitment to inclusive education, Sports Day promoted the overall growth of children. To promote sportsmanship in a fun way, Bry-Air and DRI created a number of events as part of the event, including the spoon race, relay race, 50-meter race, 100-meter race, three-legged race, sack race, and tug of war.
The Group has been working toward the new cause of providing education to impoverished children since 2011 and has been operating as Bry-Air Pathshala and DRI Pathshala in Dharam Colony and Carterpuri village, respectively.
Bry-Air and DRI have been working tirelessly to offer free education to disadvantaged children because they recognize the value of making education available to everyone. For the students living in the outlying areas of the city, they have been providing a primary school atmosphere as part of the effort.
On the occasion, Ms. Anandita Pahwa, Head - CSR, Bry-Air & DRI, said, “As a responsible organization, we always strive to make society a better place to live in. And understanding that education acts as a strong pillar in shaping society, we work towards filling the educational gap by providing education to those who are unable to afford it. For which the company is actively involved in all the activities to ensure nothing is compromised at any level of the initiative. And organizing Sports Day to observe the International Day of Education was a conscious decision to instill the sense of sportsmanship amongst children which is aimed at their overall development.”
Even during the pandemic, the companies remained committed to the cause and unwavering in their determination to deliver high-quality education. They gave out laptops and tablets to students so that learning would continue even when traditional sessions were suspended. Additionally, 400 students were connected as part of the project using the digital mode of instruction.
Bry-Air and DRI offer skill development courses in a variety of sectors in addition to schooling to help ladies and youth become independent. The Group also helps women and girls become self-sufficient members of society by teaching them computer literacy, tailoring and beautician courses, and other skills. The Group then provides them with sewing machines, tailoring and beautician kits so they can start their own small businesses and take care of their families' daily expenses.
