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: M.P.P. School, Ananthasagaram, Kandukuru Mandal, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh, India.

About the Project: M.P.P. School is situated at a distance of 370 KMs from Capital IQ, Hyderabad office. Mr. Nageswara Rao (Head Master) approached us to support students of M.P.P. School. M.P.P. School has 45+ students and all the students are from agriculture and daily labor families. These families are not affordable to send their children to private schools where they can get better education in English medium. This School doesn’t have minimum infrastructure facilities like benches, Drinking water, sports material and sufficient tables. They have to sit in the classroom on the floor only. Our support to the students may reduce school drop outs.
