Mindspace Business Parks REIT has built an all-new educational facility for the children from the village of Gambhiraopet, in Sircilla district of Telangana. The school is a first in the village, replete with amenities benchmarked to international standards. With ‘education’ as a powerful lever in Mindspace REIT’s ESG initiatives, and backed with a clear purpose to ‘build sustainable ecosystems’, the entity extends its expertise in construction, to benefit the community and future generations.
Through this initiative, Mindspace REIT’s endeavour has been to provide a top-notch education facility, that is invested in not just teaching kids to count, but more importantly what counts.
The development has been undertaken in collaboration with the government of Telangana State and executed under the aegis of K Raheja Foundation. The all-new school has classrooms spread over 10,000+ sq. ft., and a library and training centers, spread over 10,000+ sq. ft. With this, Mindspace REIT joins the state government’s efforts and larger commitment of providing quality education to rural parts of India, with the aptly titled program of ‘Mana Ooru Mana Badi’ – ‘Our Village – Our School’.
Vinod Rohira, CEO, said, “Inclusive and good quality education and amenities, create a robust foundation for building equitable societies. We are happy to partner with the Government and use our expertise in construction and curation, to build for the community, this educational institution. Replete with excellent faculty and world class amenities it provides for students from this rural town, an equal chance at being future ready. As a socially responsible business, we develop and execute mindful projects that are in sync with our purpose of ‘building sustainable ecosystems’ where communities thrive.”
Anurag Jayanti, collector and district magistrate, Rajanna Sircilla, said, “Mana Ooru Mana Badi (“The ‘Our village – Our School’) program was launched for this cause, and we are glad that Mindspace REIT and K Raheja Foundation are contributing to this initiative by building the school. We are glad to have a school with infrastructure on par with international standards, at Gambhiraopet.” As part of its ESG initiatives, Mindspace REIT has also recently built a Skywalk in Mindspace Madhapur, Hyderabad, to reduce carbon emissions from last mile transport, and ease commute for people traveling to and from Raidurg Metro Station.
