Dedicated to aligning our growth to that of the community, Marshal Exports helps nurture the local people through its Corporate Social Responsibility programmes under the overarching initiative called ‘Marshal Cares’. With key focus on the two pillars of education and health – the basic foundation for any development – we hope to make a small but significant impact in the lives of those around us.
Education Programmes
Women’s Literacy
Unfortunately, female literacy rates in this area are still fairly low and very few women actually get the opportunity for an education. Our literacy programme is a unique chance for women to gain a degree of self-sufficiency. The company finances the education of women in the age group of 12 to 40, covering all expenses from school fees to books. And it is a matter of pride that some of our students who began in primary classes have actually been successful in passing the High School (10th standard in Indian education system) public board exams.
A part of ‘Marshal Cares’, for over 11 years, this initiative began with 15 -20 students. As the company has grown, we now finance over 600 students and aim to reach a 1000 within the next couple of years.
English Skills
Moradabad is a predominantly Hindi-speaking area where the curriculum in most of the schools is taught in Hindi. Speaking the global language of English has become a necessity rather than just a novel degree, so much so that even children educated in a Hindi-speaking school often become disadvantaged when competing with English speaking peers. Therefore, we at Marshal Exports attempt to bring English language skills up to par by organising teachers to conduct special English classes.
Children in Need
Of course, there are those children who would shine if only they were able to afford an education. Funding the schooling of needy children forms the final pillar of our education initiatives; an all-expense paid opportunity for a brighter future.
Healthcare Programme
Marshal Exports’ healthcare initiative helps finance the medical expenses of the underprivileged section of society, with an emphasis on children. Every year, a fund is earmarked for this purpose and dozens of medical operations are performed. Over the past seven years, Marshal Exports has managed to make its name known in these circles and the initiative continues to gather momentum as the company grows.
