Tata Interactive Systems wins Readers' Digest Pegasus Award for
corporate social responsibility (CSR)
Global learning provider, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), received the
Readers' Digest Pegasus CSR Gold Award, in the category ‘Contribution
to Society - Imparting Education', at a presentation ceremony held at
the Taj Land's End Hotel, in Mumbai, on 12th December.
The Pegasus CSR Awards have been instituted to recognise outstanding
work done by socially conscious companies. The awards identify best
practices and innovations by Indian companies in fulfilling their
responsibilities to diverse stakeholders.
In this way, Readers' Digest, the nation's largest selling English
language magazine also aims to make companies aware of their role as
good citizens - and role models - of a fast-developing nation.
Sanjaya Sharma, CEO of TIS said: "This award is a testimonial to our
continuing commitment to improve the quality of education and make
learning accessible to students with learning difficulties (LD). It was
awarded for our various CSR initiatives, taking into consideration our
partnerships, approach, deployment, voluntary activities and results.”
Some of TIS's multi-pronged initiatives to spread awareness of LD and
promote remediation include the highly successful annual Tata
Interactive Learning Disability Forum (TLDF); a long-standing
partnership with the LD clinic at Sion Hospital, in Mumbai; proposals
for changes in the medical and teacher training curricula, and the
development of a book, ‘Brain Teasers' for students with LD and their
parents, among others.
