Gera Developments Enhances Education and Sports Facilities for Children in Mahabaleshwar
Pune, 28th December 2024: Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL), a leader in the real estate sector with award-winning residential and commercial projects across Pune, Goa, Bengaluru, and California, has taken a transformative step towards empowering students in Shree Kshetra Mahabaleshwar, District Satara.
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the company has launched a computer lab and introduced English teachers in Zilla Parishad schools in the area. This effort aims to provide over 300 children with critical digital literacy skills and enhanced English language proficiency, fostering their academic and personal growth.
The newly inaugurated computer lab is equipped to offer hands-on training in technology, preparing students for a digital-first world. The appointed English teachers will focus on improving students’ communication and language skills, bridging gaps in their educational foundation.
Highlighting the importance of this initiative, Kumar Gera, Chairman of GDPL, stated, “Knowledge of English opens up opportunities beyond the local and national levels, connecting children to a global network of information, ideas, and conversations. Combining this with computer literacy equips them to navigate the future with confidence. We believe in creating platforms where children can break barriers, seize opportunities, and exceed their own expectations. Watching their enthusiasm for learning through these initiatives is immensely rewarding.”
In addition to academic support, Gera Developments has established a state-of-the-art sports center in Tandulnahi, in collaboration with the Zilla Parishad. The facility includes provisions for box cricket, football, volleyball, and a gymnasium, encouraging children to engage in sports and develop physical fitness alongside their studies. These efforts reflect Gera’s holistic approach to education, blending academic and extracurricular opportunities to help children thrive.
Beyond Mahabaleshwar, Gera Developments has been actively involved in diverse CSR programs to address pressing social issues. The company collaborates with the Muskaan Foundation to combat child sexual abuse, partners with Swayam Samajik Vikas Sanstha to promote education, and supports differently-abled individuals through the Concern India Foundation. Additionally, Gera contributes to healthcare and education through its work with the Social Venture Partners Philanthropy Foundation and extends its efforts to underserved communities in Goa through partnerships with Mudita An Alliance and Children Trust Goa.
