Digital Interactive Educational Solution

NGO Partner: Rotary Club of Pune South

Installation of Edu-projectors in schools and

study centers for underprivileged children

The Rotary Club of Pune South has a mission of

‘Literate India’ by 2016. As part of that mission and

considering the shortage of teachers in Zilla Parishad

and municipal schools from urban and rural areas, BNY

Mellon supported these schools with Edu-projectors.

This Edu-projector is the world’s first eco-friendly

portable Wi-Fi enabled high definition DLP LED

projector that operates on an Android operating system.

It also works on solar energy, thus making it very useful

in disseminating Digital Interactive Education to remote

rural areas. The school syllabus for Std.1 to Std.10 has

been translated into the regional language (Marathi)

and uploaded on this projector.

It is very user friendly and interactive with lots of

animated games, quizzes and pictorial presentations of

each lesson.

Community Impact: Installation of 36 Edu-projectors

benefitting 12,000 children

Community Impact:

600 students benefitted

Creation of Ideal Village at Jadhavwadi

NGO Partner: Awakening Jagriti

Holistic development of the village

Awakening Jagriti is actively involved in the promotion of agriculture sustainability through “Natural

Resource Management.” They follow an “Integrated Rural Development” approach of working

collaboratively on issues of women, children and youth.

‘Jadhavwadi’, a village 70 kilometers away from Pune was identified. This village had poor

infrastructural facilities such as roads, electricity and water. Poor health facilities and outreach

services caused malnourishment amongst women and children. Poor education facilities

hampered child development.

BNY Mellon India, with the help of Awakening Jagriti, helped transform Jadhavwadi into an ideal

village, through a holistic development approach by:

• Construction of bore wells for agriculture (Water conservation technology)

• Creation of agro-based livelihood opportunities (Farmers’ club, adopting advanced

agricultural practices for livestock development and initiation of business

• Awareness on health and hygiene practices (Construction of toilets, distribution of water

filters, provision of preventive health services etc.)

• Promotion of early child care and education (Construction of pre - Primary Center)

• Strengthening Local Governing Bodies and Community Based Organizations

Community Impact:

• 1,500 + villagers benefitted

• Reduction in waterborne related

illnesses

Water Conservation & Purification in Siddhegavan Village

NGO Partner: International Association for Human Values

Building 2 check dams & installation of Water Filtration Plant (Reverse Osmosis)

International Association of Human Values works effectively for community development and

water conservation all over India.

‘Siddhegavhan’ is a village 45 kilometres away from Pune with 120 households. Farming is the

main occupation in this village, and hence a need for water conservation was identified. Since

International Association for Human Values was already working in this village, they recognised

the need for pure drinking water as well, and hence, with their help, BNY Mellon India supported

the following activities in Siddhegavan Village:

• Excavation of a water body that had poisonous weed growing around

• Construction of two check dams

• Community development activities to bring a change in the mind-set of villagers, to make

them more responsible towards the development of their village

• Setting up of a Reverse Osmosis based filtration plant for safe drinking water
