Our efforts over the last 10 years include providing school necessities to children under My Schoolbag programme[2]
, as well as leveraging our expertise to build and refurbish government schools. More recently, we supported India's COVID-19 relief efforts, committing about INR 197 million. We plan to build two more CapitaLand Hope Schools in Bangalore and Pune. I would like to thank Karnataka Education Department for their support, and our staff for their contribution to build our first CapitaLand Hope School. As we grow our business here, we will continue to give back to the community."
