Wipro Cares sets up Learning Centre in Bangalore

Bangalore, Aug 10 (UNI) Wipro Cares, a trust promoted by IT major Wipro, today opened a Learning Centre here to provide enriching and secure environment to children from the economically disadvantaged section of the society.

Wipro Cares, an initiative of Wipro and its employees to engage in community development, had supported the initiative of an NGO, Makkala Jagriti, whose focus was to work with the children in the area of education to set up community-based Learning Centres.

While regular schools support the academic development of the child, there is a need to provide access to quality learning in an enjoyable environment to all children. It is an attempt to provide an opportunity to children, Wipro Vice President (Community Initiatives) Vijay Gupta said here.

The objective of the Learning Centre is to make a positive difference to a child's quality of learning and development, such that it allows them to go beyond their circumstances, create role models and facilitate natural integration into the mainstream, Makkala Jagriti Managing Trustee Joy Srinivasan said.
