In a significant move to promote educational equity, NMDC Limited has partnered with Apollo University, Chittoor to launch two transformative programs under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate. The initiatives 'Balika Shiksha Yojana' and 'Medical Technology Programme' are specifically designed to create academic and professional pathways for tribal and underprivileged youth in Chhattisgarh.

The Balika Shiksha Yojana focuses exclusively on empowering tribal girls through quality education, while the Medical Technology Programme opens doors for both boys and girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue careers in healthcare technology. These programs align with the Government of India's vision for inclusive growth and skill development in tribal regions.
