Wipro Applying Thought in Schools
Wipro Education Fellowship
For a decade now, we have been working with social organizations in more than 1000 schools across the country.
Wipro Education Fellowship, provides individuals with opportunities to create shareable learning for schools and the larger education community – in the context of our work in school reform or independently.
The assignments are either commissioned books, research/documentation assignments, creating good educational literature or even working on a specific school intervention or Wipro project based on needs.
Sharad Lele on 'Understanding Sustainable Development'
Understanding Sustainable Development - Sharad Lele - 10th Wipro Partners' Forum
Dr. Sharat Chandra Lele: My environmental journey probably began in my school days when I was introduced to trekking in the Sahyadris. That time, I was in Pune in a school, I had a very enthusiastic teacher who took us hiking and trekking in the Sahyadris, more associated with the historical sights – forts of Shivaji and so on.
A leader for an educated India
Business Today - Anniversary edition - December 2008
- Azim Premji
A friend and I were engaged in a discussion on education. I was onto my usual argument. That education is an important tool for individual development and for social progress. That the Indian IT industry is a good example of how knowledge can catalyse the fortunes of a nation.
My friend gave me a patient hearing, and then asked me, “Why is the ‘educated’ software professional unable to see that he should be bothered, directly and personally, by farmer suicides and melting Himalayan glaciers?”
10th Wipro Partners' Forum
“If a poor farmer upstream pollutes a river also used by a rich farmer downstream do you ascribe as much blame? Ecologically, pollution is pollution, but does this stance change from a social justice standpoint?”
“Is the result of the intersection of issues of ecological sustainability & education, one more subject to be taught in schools? Or should we go to the extent of saying that because of the seriousness of issues like climate change, we should relook at our concept of well-being and what a good life is and hence what good education is?”
