Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR4 A recent and very important initiative by TMI is the formation of Community Service Club (CSC). One of the objectives of the CSC is to support the Aanganwadis around campus. Aanganwadis operate under the Integrated Child Development Service Scheme run by Ministry of Women and Child Development, Govt. of India. TMI efforts are directed towards making a lifelong change in the intellectual, social and educational standards of the children. The idea was conceived and promulgated by Dr. Sujata Naik -Tolani, Vice Chairperson, TMI Governing Council. About 19 faculty and staff members, many family members and more than hundred cadets volunteered to the join the CSC. Also, Dr. Shephali Dave joined as Consultant for the purpose.

TMI has adopted 11 Aanganwadis in the nearby villages and is working towards bringing them to ISO standards in terms of infrastructure and provide other services on regular basis.
Since its inception, activities conducted by the CSC in all Aanganwadis are:

Building compound walls, art painting of walls, installation of water tank
Donation of cupboards and containers for food grains etc.
Donation of other materials like Mats, Dustbins and Plastic Bags, Liquid soap with dispenser, First Aid Box, Puzzles, Water Filter, Fire Extinguisher, and ID
