REC Foundation, the CSR arm of REC Limited, has committed a financial assistance of Rs 2.47 crore to SSMI, a not-for-profit society dedicated to providing free quality education to children from poor families. The funds will be utilized for expansion at SSMI School in Punjabi Bagh, West Delhi. New classrooms, library, computer room, science lab and exam hall are proposed to be added to the school infrastructure under the project. This will enable the school to turn from secondary to senior secondary school and admit more children from underprivileged backgrounds.
The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed on 3rd January 2018 in New Delhi by Shri Rajpal Singh, DGM, REC, on behalf of REC Foundation and Smt. Sunita Bhasin, Director, SSMI in the presence of Shri C P Bhatia, GM, REC & other senior officials of REC and SSMI.
