Education
Infosys Foundation is working to pave a path to education for those most in need.
We seek to address two crucial aspects of the education conundrum in India – first, finding ways to create more opportunities for girls, especially those from marginalized sections of society and rural areas, to stay in school longer and second, to fix the broken ladder connecting education and employability for all.
We believe that our work, in collaboration with government agencies and civil bodies, can ensure that the education-to-employability pathway opens for millions who deserve to move forward.
