The award-winning initiative was part of the broader #RahatWithICCPL campaign, which aims to support children from marginalised communities by ensuring access to basic educational resources. Through this focused stationery distribution drive, the Foundation reached underserved areas where lack of supplies often acts as a barrier to learning. The campaign played a key role in helping children maintain continuity in education, especially during times of hardship.
Ambika Saxena, CEO, ICCPL Foundation, said, “This award reaffirms our belief that meaningful change lies in addressing real, everyday needs. Distributing stationery might seem simple—but for many children, it’s the bridge between dropping out and staying in school. We’re proud to be part of their journey.”
Beyond this initiative, ICCPL Foundation continues to lead several sustained social programs. These include donation drives in underserved regions, free meals to thousands, observance of International Sign Language Day to promote inclusion, Vivah Utsav to support the weddings of economically weaker couples, and tree plantation drives. Each effort follows a grassroots-first approach, in line with the Foundation’s long-term commitment to equity and empowerment.
