Update about
the service project conducted by employees of S&P Capital IQ, www.spcapitaliq.com, Hyderabad - (Business
unit of McGraw Hill Financial www.mhfi.com )
About Community Impact Program: McGraw-Hill Financial (www.mhfi.com ), the company which strongly
believes in the motto, 'Giving back is essential'. MHFI encourages its employees
to work for service projects in which 3+ employees would be working together for
solving public problems in their community to build better lives and stronger communities.
MHFI grants $1000 per project and employees spend their personal time on the project.
This year S&P Capital IQ, Hyderabad (part of MHFI group) employees applied for
projects from various areas of the Nation to serve the society under Employee
Volunteer Grant (EVG).
Project Location: Aided Primary School, Chammachintha Village, Nathavaram Mandal,
Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh, India, 531115.
About the Project: Aided Primary School, Chammachintha is located in Visakhapatnam
district which is nearly 600 KMs from S&P Capital IQ, Hyderabad. In this
school, nearly more than 70 students are studying. All the students from
economically backward and financially poor families. And more than 75% students
are the children of daily labor families. This school has one building with one
complete room and one hall only where 1st to 5th standard
classes are running. As it is not sufficient to run 5 classes of 70 students in
one building, the staff of that school constructed a hut and using it for two
classes temporarily. They are not also getting funds from Govt. for
infrastructure and development of the school. This school’s H.M. Satyababu sir
approached us and requested for financial support to construct an additional
classroom which is most required right now. If S&P Capital IQ do so, it
will be more helpful to the students to overcome many problems and study well.

Previously
the students used to sit on the ground and 2 to 3 classes’ students are
accommodated at one place. It creates more confusion and disturbance. With the
financial support from S&P Capital IQ, one additional classroom was constructed.
Now 1 or 2 classes can be separated and accommodated in a safe and secure area
to attend the classes. School staff, villagers and students are happy at the
works done at the school by S&P Capital IQ.
