Lighting Up Schools with Solar Power & Creativity!

Solar Power Grid Inauguration – Holkarwadi Govt. High School

In a big step towards sustainability, we inaugurated a solar power grid at Holkarwadi Government High School. This green energy solution has already reduced the school’s electricity bill from ₹10,000 to just ₹1100—freeing up funds for student needs and long-term development. The event was graced by Mr. Girish Bapat, Ms. Smriti, and enthusiastic ITEC volunteers, who also added their artistic touch through a post-inauguration Bala painting session.

Bala Painting Activity – Pune East & West

Across two government schools, over 30 KEI volunteers came together to transform classrooms with Bala (Building as Learning Aid) artwork. These vibrant, educational wall paintings have not only brightened the learning spaces but also turned them into interactive tools that inspire curiosity and joy among students.

Partnering for Change: KONE India Strengthens Child Rescue Operations Through Meaningful CSR Contribution

KONE India CSR continues to drive impact at the grassroots level. In a recent initiative, our team donated a Bolero vehicle to the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) and Welfare Services Department in Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu.

The vehicle was officially handed over to District Collector Tmt. D. Sneha, I.A.S., by M.P. Saravanan, - Director, People Communications & CSR, who met with and facilitated the handover to the DCPU team.

This vehicle will be used to support child rescue operations, helping local authorities respond swiftly to cases involving missing or vulnerable children.

We are proud of this contribution, which aligns with our CSR focus on health, safety, and protection of children, and reflects KONE’s values of care and responsibility.
