HCL Foundation extended its partnership with the Gautam Buddha Nagar Police Commissionerate and NGO partner CHETNA by establishing an additional multidimensional mobile classroom under its ‘Nanhe Parinde’ initiative. ‘Nanhe Parinde’ is an initiative of HCL Uday, HCL Foundation’s urban flagship program, through which five mobile vans are currently operating in the Gautam Buddh Nagar area. The mobile vans will offer academic support to the children in mathematics and science, English language skills, art lessons and digital literacy. They will also provide children sports and recreational opportunities to help reduce school dropout rates and juvenile crime rates in the community.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a period of five years was signed between HCL Foundation and the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissionerate for this initiative. Ram Badan Singh (IPS), DCP Headquarters, GB Nagar Police Commissionerate, and Dr. Nidhi Pundhir, Vice President, Global CSR, HCL Foundation, signed the MoU. Bharati Singh (IPS), Additional Commissioner of Police (HQ), flagged off the initiative in the presence of Dr. Pundhir and Sanjay Gupta, Director, CHETNA.
