Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation, has completed building sanitation facilities for girl students in 1,000 schools across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar states as a part of prime minister’s ‘Clean India’ initiative. TCS had earmarked a budget of Rs 100 crore for building dedicated sanitation facilities for girls in selected schools. The initiative aims to boost the enrolment rate and reduce the dropout rate of girl students in the adopted schools, and in turn, improve learning outcomes.
TCS commenced the project in October 2014 and a special taskforce was constituted for the end-to-end implementation. This involved collaborating with the central and state government to strategize, plan, and execute by leveraging technology to ensure successful and timely implementation. Under the 1st phase of this sanitation initiative, TCS has successfully implemented building toilets for girl students in about 1041 schools spread across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar.
