Globalization fosters a talent meritocracy. Infosys believes that the success of economies will depend on how adept they are at attracting, nurturing and retaining talent. In the knowledge economy, countries must focus on education to develop a skilled labor force. Infosys believes that world-class talent knows no geographical boundaries. We are tapping into the global pool of talent to empower talent and realize its potential.
We are proactively developing human capital with the aim of lifting people out of poverty, increase employability through the transfer of skills and enable participation in the IT revolution.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a public-private partnership that provides daily meals to more than 825,000 underprivileged children in 14 locations across India. For many children in the program, the Akshaya Patra meal is the only complete meal to which they have access during the entire day. By satisfying this basic need, the Foundation has produced dramatic results in terms of enrolment, attendance and attention spans in the classroom and boosted children's overall health and well-being.
The Infosys Foundation is upgrading education infrastructure through several initiatives. We donate books to 15,000 libraries, construct hostels for underprivileged children, renovate schools, donate computing facilities and provide scholarships to meritorious students. In addition, the Foundation is collaborating with an organization that shelters prisoners’ children in the age group of 5-15 years and provides them with food and education.
The Foundation is also assisting a non-governmental organization working for the rehabilitation of street children in Bangalore and Delhi as well as the rehabilitation of devadasis and their children in North Karnataka, by ensuring training and education.
Our investments in the education system have qualitatively enhanced the talent pool in educational institutions to meet future demand.
