Marico Limited announced the rebranding of its flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) education initiative from "Nihar Shanti Paathshala Funwala" to "Nihar Shanti Mazbooti Ki Paathshala". The disclosure was made through a regulatory filing with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

The renewed identity brings the program's educational efforts under the unifying belief "Mazboot Faislon Se Banta Hai Mazboot Bhavishya" (Strong Futures Are Built Through Strong Decisions), reaffirming the company's commitment to developing stronger futures through education. The transition aligns the initiative with the evolving purpose of Nihar Shanti, which celebrates and empowers women to take strong decisions that help their families and build a better future.

The program has historically focused on improving foundational learning and educational outcomes among children from underserved communities. Through various interventions, the program has achieved significant scale:

  • Cumulative impact: Trained more than 126,000 teachers and benefited approximately 1.269 million students
  • FY2025-26 specific impact: Benefited 3,500+ children (3-6 years of age), 260 Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, and 1,500+ parents

The initiative specifically focuses on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP). The program aims to help children develop essential skills, confidence, and learning foundation needed to thrive in an evolving world.

Amit Bhasin, Chief Legal Officer & Group Counsel and Secretary, CSR Committee, Marico Limited, commented that the renewed identity moves beyond creating moments of fun and engagement to creating meaningful, long-term impact, reaffirming the belief that strong educational foundations can help build stronger futures for children and societies.

The evolution reflects the belief that good quality education is one of the strongest decisions an individual, family or society can make. The transition brings the brand and its CSR platform together under one unifying thought while maintaining the program's core educational mission.
