Reissued CSR Announcement by FIMER India
On Tuesday, 28 July 2026, FIMER India Pvt Ltd issued a re‑issued press release, updating information originally published on Thursday, 9 July 2026 at 12:00 pm IST. The company announced that, in association with the non‑profit Aapat‑Sahaaya Foundation, it has carried out a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at strengthening education in rural Karnataka.
The CSR effort involved the distribution of school kits – each containing notebooks, stationery and other essential educational supplies – to students in rural schools across Karnataka. The kits are intended to reduce the financial burden on families, promote school readiness, regular attendance and continued learning.
In parallel, the Vidyanidhi Scholarship Scheme was implemented, under which 20 meritorious students were selected this year to receive scholarships based on academic merit and demonstrated financial need. This scholarship component underscores FIMER’s commitment to inclusive education and empowerment of deserving learners.
The initiative was highlighted on the ground when Ms. Payal Poonacha, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) of FIMER India, together with members of the FIMER team, visited Veena Makkala Mandira – one of the participating schools – to personally hand over the school kits to the children. During the visit, the team engaged with students, teachers and the school community, reinforcing the company’s people‑centric approach to CSR.
Quotes from senior leaders added context to the effort. KN Sreevatsa, Group Co‑CEO of FIMER, stated that the company’s corporate philosophy prioritises sustainable growth and proactive philanthropy, translating business success into tangible social welfare. Rajesh Anandaramu, Trustee & Co‑Founder of Aapat‑Sahaaya Foundation, expressed gratitude for the partnership, noting that education is the foundation for a better future and such initiatives help bridge gaps for under‑privileged children. Payal Poonacha reiterated that the initiative reflects FIMER’s belief that every child deserves basic support to continue education with confidence. Shri H.K. Govindraju, Principal of Veena Makkala Mandira, thanked FIMER for the thoughtful initiative, emphasizing its positive impact on students and families.
The reissued release includes an amendment note clarifying that it supersedes the earlier press release titled “FIMER India Strengthens Education in the Rural Schools Through CSR Initiative in Association With Aapat‑Sahaaya Foundation, Supporting 5,000 Students Across 30 Schools in Karnataka” dated 9 July 2026. All other information from the original release remains unchanged.
