We have received books for our library from the Company Piaggio Automobiles, Pune. They donated approximately 480 books - some old, some new - in three languages: English, Hindi and Marathi.
A relationship with the Company has been established. They are keen to work with NGOs, especially those involved in child education. Although the Vice-president of the Company seemed very interested, he explained that they need time to develop a plan as they are trying to work with another 8-10 NGOs. This has been their first stint in Corporate Social Responsibility.
With this liaison, we enter the realm of corporate ventures and will try to keep on establishing other similar links for cooperation, not only in kind but also in funds and sponsorship.
