Overview
TELUS Digital India, formerly TELUS International India, mobilised more than 750 team‑member volunteers under its TELUS Days of Giving (TDOG) programme to refurbish the 78‑year‑old government‑aided Shri Gandhi Inter College in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. The effort coincided with the United Nations International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, observed throughout 2026, and aimed to improve learning environments for the school’s over 1,000 students.
Physical Refurbishment
Volunteers painted murals and refreshed 25 classrooms and six hallways across six school buildings, and repainted 250 sitting benches. Prior to the volunteer day, skilled professionals completed essential repairs, including general painting, washroom renovations, and waterproofing of nine classroom ceilings. Five science laboratories and the library also received a fresh coat of paint.
Infrastructure Enhancements
The initiative added a 10 kW off‑grid solar system to the campus, donated 30 laptops for the computer laboratories, installed a new water cooler, and provided sports equipment for the student body. These contributions were intended to make the school’s facilities more vibrant, welcoming, and better equipped to meet students’ academic and extracurricular needs.
Digital Safety Initiative – TELUS Wise
Alongside the physical upgrades, TELUS Digital India launched TELUS Wise in India, a volunteer‑led programme designed to raise awareness of online safety, security and responsible digital behaviour. The programme educates students on recognising online risks, making informed decisions and developing safer digital habits.
Executive Comments
Rajiv M. Dhand, Senior Vice President, Global Customer Experience and Trust & Safety Operations, said that a supportive learning environment shapes students’ experiences and aspirations, and that the combined physical improvements and resource donations aim to inspire curiosity and encourage learning. Kapil Uniyal, Vice President, APAC & Australia, Digital Solutions, TELUS Digital, highlighted that safe classrooms and safe online experiences are both essential, and that TELUS Wise enables team members to share digital‑safety knowledge directly with students. Iftikar Ahmed, Vice President of Operations, TELUS Digital India, noted that the school is now better equipped to cultivate student success and expressed hope for a longer‑term relationship with the community.
