#QuESTGlobal #ElearningCentre #Communities“As a society it is our collective responsibility to work towards the progress of underserved communities.” - K. Krishna Prakash, Deputy Director, Scheduled Tribes Development Department
June 2022 : Contributing to a better tomorrow and giving back to communities where we live and operate has always been part of Quest Global’s DNA. As a testament to this belief, Quest Global, one of the world’s fastest-growing engineering services firms, on June 22, 2022, launched two e-learning centers for tribal communities in the state. The company will work with NGGF, to build, develop, and operate these community learning centers (CLC) at Vittikavu (Palode) and Mullamoodu (Kallar).
Quest Global has been actively involved in community activities for the last several years. The organization’s CSR policy has two focus areas, education & skilling, and environmental protection. Through its education and skilling initiatives, the organization focuses on how it can make a positive impact on society by providing education to underserved children in India. The aptly named CSR initiative, ‘Smile Engineering’ focuses on the betterment of the communities where we live, by investing in education for children. The launch of CLC is yet another initiative under Smile Engineering that will empower children to grow as self-sufficient, independent and happy citizens.
The Vithura Grama Panchayath President, V.S. Baburaj inaugurated the project. The chief guest at the inauguration, K. Krishna Prakash, Deputy Director, Scheduled Tribes Development Department, said, “As a society, it is our collective responsibility to work towards the progress of underserved communities. The government appreciates Quest Global’s work in developing these two centers in our state. It is not just another CLC, it will contribute immensely to the growth of these communities by providing them with quality education. We will continue to support the organization in this noble cause.”
The centers are easily accessible to the community as they are located within the community’s settlement amidst a forest. The organization has worked on building the infrastructure for both the CLCs. Additionally, they have also equipped the centers with digital learning tools like desktops (to be added soon), internet access, smart TV, and a video calling facility for remote access. Their workforce will participate actively to manage and teach at both the CLCs. Quest Global is in this for a long haul. It is the organization’s way of creating an imprint that lasts for generations to come. In addition to providing education to the children of the community, the CLCs will also be functional for other community-building activities like education for women, day care for children, after-school services and others.
