Learning through Videos makes for a much more captivating experience. Videos played during the event helped children to heighten the educational experience.

Feedback of the CIM Volunteers:
Shilpa Shmaraj Tirchunapalli (Leader): I am very happy that I again got an opportunity to give back something to the society through our company. I would like to thank all my volunteers who have participated and made it a big success. Everyone had a feeling of having acted as responsible citizens for a good cause. The time spent with the kids was the best part of the entire project as the students were very responsive and the school staff were equally excited.
Bhaskar Dappu: It was a much needed project for the welfare of poor children. The happy faces tell the whole story. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to participate in this successful project.

Naveen Kumar Garsha: There is a saying that ‘Helping means Caring, Caring means Sharing’. Yes guys, I found out yesterday that we have proved the above saying. We have shared the knowledge by educating the students of the school with different education systems / ways after their SSC and suggesting them the attributes which are required for their future. We also cared for their current problems by providing the educational needs like books, maps, stationery and sports material. On a whole it was a great day at “
Anitha Sampathrao: I don’t know how to define, but it is really a great feeling. ‘Coz 364 days we are busy in looking after ourselves and family. At least 1 day in a year we could do something which is beyond, serving others who are in need. There are lots of ways to get happiness, but making others happy through our deeds is really worth it. I personally feel it. I really feel guilty when I said No in the initial stage, but today I feel proud to be part of this project.
Kashinath Satish Kumar Mane: It was a pleasant experience to work for the society. I thank S&P CIQ for giving me the opportunity to serve students. It motivated students to enhance their education abilities. Providing basic amenities to school will encourage them towards learning great things.
Rajya Lakshmi – Teacher: The team earlier in year 2011 has also done a lot of service to the students. This year also they performed very well in discharging their duties perfectly in the class and in the ground. I thank and bless the complete team for their prosperity in their future. They satisfied the children by giving prizes and sports items.
Gayatri – Teacher: I am very impressed with the work of S&P CapitalIQ group employees. They have given sports kit, benches, notebooks and many more useful items to the children.
Geeta Rani Teacher: Today a group of employees from S&P CapitalIQ came to our school on a special mission. They wanted to provide help to our school. They conducted various activities and distributed many useful things for the school. I have really liked this concept. Staff of the company is very much dedicated towards this cause and took interest in their work. My son works in TCS. I will ask him to talk his seniors and start a program like this, which will benefit the needy persons in the society.
