CSR to Transform Government Schools into Future-Ready Learning Hubs in Haryana

In a significant step toward strengthening public education, Venus Foundation—the social impact arm of Venus Remedies Ltd.—has entered into a formal collaboration with the Government of Haryana to implement holistic development initiatives in selected government schools of Panchkula. The five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed with the School Education Department, outlines a shared commitment to fostering accessible, equitable, and future-ready learning environments.

The partnership will initially focus on two schools in Sector 19, Panchkula—Government Primary School and Government Senior Secondary School—with potential for broader scale-up across the region. Entirely funded and executed by Venus Foundation under the CSR umbrella of Venus Remedies, the initiative will drive targeted upgrades across physical, technological, and academic dimensions of school infrastructure, in alignment with state education priorities and responsible corporate citizenship goals.

This collaboration complements the Government of Haryana’s broader education reform agenda, which includes implementing key national programmes such as Samagra Shiksha—a centrally sponsored scheme focused on improving school infrastructure, digital learning, and inclusive education—and state-led initiatives like Saksham Haryana, which emphasizes learning outcomes and remedial support through data-driven academic interventions. While independently executed, the MoU supports these shared priorities by enabling smart classrooms, computer labs, solar infrastructure, skilling programmes, and community-led engagement. These efforts also align with the broader vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which calls for holistic, future-ready, and sustainable learning ecosystems.

Speaking on the initiative, Ms. Ekta S. Chaudhary, Chairperson of Venus Foundation, said, “At Venus Foundation, we believe education is key to unlocking broader social change. With this MoU, we are moving forward to transform government schools into centers of learning and community progress. This partnership will enable us to create tangible impact. We thank the Government of Haryana for their support and look forward to delivering meaningful change on the ground.”

Under the agreement, the Foundation will modernize sanitation facilities with a focus on gender-responsive infrastructure, including the construction of separate toilets for girls. Clean drinking water systems, including RO units and water coolers, will be installed to support student health and hygiene. Classrooms will undergo renovation to incorporate digital learning tools such as smart boards and interactive aids, while libraries and science and mathematics laboratories will be established to enrich the academic experience. Dedicated computer labs and learning spaces will also be created to strengthen digital literacy from an early stage.

The initiative further includes development of playgrounds and indoor recreational spaces, landscaping, and the provision of solar panels to encourage environmental stewardship. Inclusive infrastructure for children with special needs will be integrated across facilities to promote equal access. The Foundation will also support the distribution of uniforms, hygiene kits, and educational materials to underprivileged students.

To ensure a nurturing and holistic ecosystem, the programme encompasses health and wellness camps, remedial learning sessions, life skills education, career counselling, and capacity-building workshops for teachers. These efforts are aimed at bridging learning gaps and fostering all-round development.

The Government of Haryana, through the School Education Department, will facilitate coordination with school authorities and stakeholders, provide administrative permissions, and support joint planning of priority areas. Venus Foundation will bear all implementation costs and ensure compliance with quality and ethical standards in project execution. A Joint Steering Committee, comprising representatives from both sides, will be constituted to review project progress quarterly and make strategic recommendations.

This collaboration strengthens Venus Foundation’s long-standing efforts to uplift public education and underlines Venus Remedies’ commitment to responsible corporate citizenship. Rooted in the principles of equity, empowerment, and sustainability, the Foundation’s work reflects the broader CSR vision of the organization—delivering scalable and enduring impact in education, health, and community development.

Beyond school infrastructure and learning outcomes, Venus Foundation is equally committed to advancing gender equality, improving health and well-being, and promoting environmental sustainability. Through skill-building programs, vocational training, health awareness initiatives, and environmental projects, the organization aims to create lasting, positive impact in communities.
