'''Applying Thought in Schools'''

Applying Thought in Schools is institutionalized under Brand, Corporate Communication, and Corporate Planning, headed by an executive of the stature of the Vice-President of the company. A key feature of the programme that began in January 2001 is that it is not necessarily IT-linked in its present form. It focuses on primary education 
here and sees this as an intervention in the area of community development.

Through this initiative, Wipro targets to improve the quantitative and qualitative performance of primary school education in not just several private schools, but also in a variety of educational institutions of the state/government. The scope of this initiative is wider and includes working towards a 'paradigm shift in the philosophy of education', itself. The approach is very holistic with its roles being perceived as networking, advocating, and intervening to achieve new models of education.

''Approach''

The objective of value-added educational inputs is to change the existing school system in the following ways:

* Examination Centric to Developmental Centric

* Improving Memory to Developing Life Skills

* Grading to Judge to Assesing to Improve

* Boring to Interesting

In order to achieve all this, Wipro's Applying Thought works through a number of initiatives such as Teacher Empowerment Program, Parents Empowerment Program, Education Leadership Program, Taeacher Training Colleges, etc.

Wipro Cares is managed by one full-time employee and has approximately 200 volunteers. Wipro offices with 500 or more employees were encouraged to be a part of this initiative, and it is through this mechanism that the volunteer force is identified and has grown. For a total workforce of approximatetly 30,000, this is a small but a significant beginning. The employees also maintain a blog that contains the activities being conducted at different locations by Wipro Cares.


While Applying Thought in Schools and Azim Premji Foundation are concentrating on primary education, Wipro Care is poised to make value-added improvement in the existing Health Care system. The approach is to target improvement of the Primary Health Care system of the government and work to resolve critical issues on a sustainable basis.⏎
