As a responsible corporate, Nikon India believes in supporting education, health and vitality of our communities. At Nikon we believe that with immense managerial and innovative capacity, businesses can contribute significantly towards making a transformational change in society. Inspired by this opportunity to serve larger societal purposes, our CSR initiatives are intended in the direction of sustainability, health and education of our community. Efforts are made to provide support in these sectors and to provide solutions to address these challenges we have partnered with independent NGO’ s and Non-profits to bring the change we wish to witness.

The objective of this project is to provide a strong foundation to 40 parentless, homeless and abandoned children from two Family Homes each in SOS Children’s Village Raipur and Bhubaneswar, by providing them with long term family-based care so that they can become independent and contributing members of society.

The key objectives of the project are as follows:

• Provide basic amenities, such as nutritious food, clothing, shelter, healthcare & medication, etc. to the 40 identified children.
• Ensure holistic development and empowerment of the 40 identified children and youth through need-based capacity building programmes, career counselling, psycho-social counselling, sports, and extracurricular activities.
• Ensure that the 40 identified children can get access to quality education (primary, secondary as well as higher/professional courses).

We aim to impart environmental education to students (approx.45) from marginalized communities of the society , as we believe that environmental education can play an integral role in shaping the minds of young students, help them develop a strong connection with nature, understand its significance, and embrace conservation practices into their daily lives. Several engaging and interactive programmes are being implemented by Nikon and WWF-India in Delhi/NCR to develop critical thinking, positive attitude, and leadership skills in students...

The initiative aims to support and educate marginalized youth on employability skills, such as problem-solving, teamwork, ICT (Information and Communications Technology), and communication and language skills. Through this project, we aim to train and place approximately 300 youths
in various organizations, this financial year.
