New Delhi, 19th April 2022: Relaxo Footwears Limited is supporting the cause of remedial education of 150 children of Bawana Resettlement Colony- Delhi, for the last 6 years.

At the time of signing the MOU, Dr. Kiran Bedi said that it is a very good gesture of Relaxo to continue the support for the cause of children’s education. She added that the education of children is hampered the most by Covid, and remedial education support is the most required program of the current time.

Sushil Batra – CFO – Relaxo Footwears Limited appreciated the efforts of Navjyoti India Foundation, for their dedication which drives Relaxo to support this program for the last 6 years. It is also discussed that some efforts are needed to engage these students in some vocational training/skill development to make them employment ready in near future.
