About Community Impact Month (Giving back is Essential)

Lead India 2020 Foundation (www.leadindia2020.com) partnered with McGraw-Hill Financial (www.mhfi.com) the company which strongly believes in the motto, 'Giving back is essential'. It extends to giving back to the society. This year MHFI has launched Community Impact Month (CIM) in which 20+ employees would be working together and for solving public problems in their community. MHFI grants $2000 per project and employees spend their personal time on the project. This year S&P Capital IQ (part of MHFI group) (www.capitaliq.com) employees applied for projects from various areas. Associates are working tirelessly to fulfill the motto and render true meaning to 'Giving back is essential'.

Current Problem:

There are many unemployed youth out there repeatedly rejected by employers because of their knowledge deficiency in practical finance, accounting, business and corporate aspects. Rejection rate is more than 95%. The main reason for that is because of their non-exposure to practical people and environment. They need some guidance about how to read, gather and understand practical implementation of finance.

Solution:

Instead of regular class room sessions, we can conduct an exhibition type knowledge show through picture and graphic presentations, by using core competence of S&P Capital IQ Employees

Methodology:

Divide all practical topics of finance in to 15 chambers and with printed wall posters. Our employees volunteer their personal time, with pre training on specific chamber to explain practical concepts. We will invite beneficiaries on the basis of prior invitation and they will pass chamber by chamber to understand practical finance world.
