Seva Sahayog Foundation believes in engaging with socially conscious corporate, groups and individuals, with NGOs of matching interests for the welfare of underprivileged students. Recently, Amdocs India hosted a school kit activity at their Pune location. Volunteers from the Unicorn house of Extentia along with 22 different organizations participated in this school kit assembly drive. The entire process included checking the quality of the bags, assembling assorted school material into a school bag and making sure that the bag is ready for delivery. These bags were then distributed to children in order to improve the quality of their education which in turn contributed to a reduction in the dropout ratio. Seva Sahayog was thankful to the volunteers who contributed to this initiative.
