CSR

Avion takes its corporate social responsibility very seriously. The founders of Avion believe that internet can be the most potent tool to take education to unprivileged and marginalized sections of society. Since our development center is in India, we have adopted an Indian village called Kotluk on India's west coast for our pilot project. We have brought internet to this hamlet which is around 300 miles south of Mumbai. Bringing the internet to this village has opened a whole new world to the village children. While they were destined to be at the bottom of the social pyramid earlier, they can today aspire to be a part of India's powerful Information Technology workforce thereby bringing their families out of absolute poverty. In about a year's time, we are hoping to bring the Net to ten such villages. We will then be connecting these villages through a portal. The portal will then be used to spread vocational and technical education, health awareness programmes, meteorological information as well as helping daily wage farm labourers find employment by creating an online employment exchange.
