Orion Innovation, a digital transformation and product development service firm, has launched a new initiative to support underprivileged students by establishing a computer lab at TV Nagar High School Ambattur in Chennai.
Chennai, the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is known for its cultural heritage and booming technology sector.
The initiative is part of Orion’s corporate social responsibility efforts to support technological education for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The new lab features contemporary desktops, smartboards, and air-conditioning units, replacing the previously limited setup.
Pradeep Menon, Global Delivery Head for Digital Transformation at Orion Innovation, commented on the project:
"We are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone by launching a cutting-edge computer lab for the local students.
“The dedication and enthusiasm of our employees and their family members, who volunteered to teach STEM subjects and life skills over the weekends, fill us with immense pride."
The computer lab launch is part of OI Empower, Orion’s flagship CSR initiative designed to provide underprivileged communities with access to quality education and technological resources.
The programme includes a series of projects aimed at improving learning environments and equipping students with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital age.
Ramesh Babu Muthuvel, Vice President – Global Delivery at Orion Innovation, who is leading the CSR program, highlighted the importance of providing educational opportunities to all children:
"Every child regardless of their social status should be provided with education to succeed and survive in this digital era. We are extremely proud of this Computer Lab Launch as it gives us immense satisfaction in giving something back to the society."
