The Infosys Foundation 
is committed to the well being of people living in remote areas of India.
A healing touch for the underprivileged
World-class healthcare is high on the agenda of the Infosys Foundation. The Foundation constructs hospital wards, donates advanced equipment, organizes health camps and distributes medicines to the underprivileged sections of society.
The Foundation constructed the Infosys Super-specialty Hospital at the Sassoon hospital, Pune. The government-run hospital caters to poor patients who have no access to treatment in private hospitals.
Infosys’ expertise in software enabled the Foundation to install office management software at the KEM Hospital in Mumbai. Our software manages store requirements, maintains accounts and publishes hospital papers and other information on the Internet.
The Foundation constructed a pediatric hospital at the Capitol hospital in Bhubaneswar, a hospital for tribals at H.D. Kote, Mysore, a hospital to treat patients with brain fever in Bellary, and a recuperation center at the Kidwai Cancer Institute in Bangalore.
The Foundation has donated ambulances and high-tech surgical equipment to medical centers and hospitals in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Orissa.

Infosys Fellowship Program
The Infosys Fellowship Program, instituted at 12 premier academic institutions in India, supports research work leading to a Ph.D. The well-received program, at present, has 58 Infosys Fellowship awardees undergoing Ph.D programs at various institutions. Of these, 18 have submitted their doctoral research while many have already been awarded doctoral degrees by the respective institutions.
Rural Reach Program
The Rural Reach Program is a one-day program delivering basic knowledge of computers to students of standards V, VI and VII in rural schools. This year, 7,742 students from 56 schools across India benefited from the program.
Catch Them Young
Aimed at students of Standard VIII and IX, Catch Them Young (CTY) focuses on encouraging students to dream big and aim high. It opens a world of knowledge on computers. Written tests are conducted for Standard VIII and IX students and those selected are trained on computer languages like C. They are introduced to areas such as multimedia and e-commerce for about 15 days. Two students are then selected from this group and given an opportunity to work on a small real-time project with Infosys. During this period, they are paid a stipend as well. This year, the CTY entrance test will be conducted on February 2.
Train the Trainer
The objective of the Train the Trainer program (TTT) is to empower college faculty with experiential knowledge that focuses on the latest trends and technologies in the IT industry, so that they can in turn enrich their course curricula and transfer the benefits to students. This year, six such programs were conducted at various development centers of Infosys, attracting 231 faculty members from renowned engineering institutions in India.
