Education as a means to uplift the level of the future generation and make them capable citizens of the country. The initiatives are implemented in the schools to bring about changes in the lives of the students and indirectly impacting the communities in terms of social changes and economic improvement in future
The pandemic resulted in closure of schools and colleges across the country. Education has changed dramatically with a considerable rise in e-learning. LCF along with its implementation partners during lockdown ensured student engagement and continuity in academic session through online classes. The programs are organised for students of schools in Haryana, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and Karnataka.
In our endeavour to provide quality education, at Lumax supplement the education system that focuses on academic learning by providing
Life skills training to help the students grow as capable individuals, with the ability to solve problems, inculcate decision making & develop interpersonal as well as intrapersonal skills which are focusing on developing a child’s social & emotional skills. The topics covered during the sessions included importance of good habits and their impact on life, inculcating them and effective communication skills. Online life-skills sessions were also organised for primary school students to supplement their classes as also ensure out of school learning experience. Besides soft skills sessions, the focus was also on STEM- Science, Technology, English and Maths.
LCF also supports preventive and curative health initiatives to ensure good health of the communities. Preventive eye check up and cataract surgeries have been conducted by Lumax with the help of Icare as its implementation partner for many years.
Over 654 surgeries were conducted this year.
Through the health camps organised during the year, Lumax through its implementation partner –Indian Cancer Society conducted awareness sessions and complete check up including x-ray, blood tests, mammography to provide diagnosis and further treatment. Every year 10 cancer patients are supported with treatment.
Rapid changes in lifestyle, environment and genetics are leading to rampant increase in juvenile diabetes. Due to a lack of awareness, understanding and the high cost of medical treatment, children in underprivileged communities face fatal consequences. To overcome this massive challenge, and to ensure good health of juvenile diabetics from disadvantaged sections of society, LCF is supporting in providing treatment to these children. This initiative started in 2014, and has, over the years, supported 180 children (and counting) with Type-1 diabetes. As patients and their families were unable to reach the hospital for treatment during the lockdown, LCF and Jehangir Hospital, Pune reached out to provide medical care and dry ration to patients at their doorsteps.
Over 6000 people were also supported with dry ration to help them sail through pandemic in Gurugram, Bengaluru and Pune.
