LANXESS India’s CSR Initiative

Chennai, September 2017. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, LANXESS India Private Limited, the leading specialty chemicals company, has asserted its commitment for technological intervention in educational empowerment by setting up e-learning tools in Government College, Nagda, Madhya Pradesh.  With fast changing technology, the need for better tools of teaching have been growing rapidly. While the privileged/privately-run educational institutions have made the most of the available technology, students from the state-run municipal institutions seem to be losing out, primarily due to the financial inability to procure tech-based learning tools. LANXESS has sought to play a key role to fulfil this gap by providing such infrastructure to underprivileged educational institutions and give an equal opportunity to students.

 LANXESS India, in a ceremony held at Civil Hospital, Nagda in the presence ofMr. Dilip Singh Shekhawat, Member of Legislative Assembly, Mr. Neelanjan Banerjee, Senior Executive Director, LANXESS India, Mr. Sanjay Singh, Site Head, Nagda, LANXESS India and other esteemed dignitariesfrom the State and local administration, formalized the agreement with the State Arts, Science & Commerce College of Nagda to support the institution with seven interactive e-learning tools at a cost of around Rs.15,00,000. The internet support needed for the e-learning tools will be provided by the college management, while the maintenance of the tools will be taken upon by LANXESS India.
