With education and skill development as key focus areas, the company has undertaken multiple interventions aimed at improving the learning environment in government schools and community institutions. The ongoing phase of the initiative is designed to address essential infrastructure gaps and ensure smoother functioning of schools, especially in rural and underserved regions.

The programme has been implemented across Madhya Pradesh (Pandurna, Katni), Maharashtra (Saoner, Palghar), Gujarat (Ankleshwar, Vapi, Vadodara, Chhota Udepur), Tamil Nadu (Perundurai), Rajasthan (Alwar), and Chhattisgarh (Raipur). The company said these regions were selected in alignment with its operational footprint to enable long-term community engagement.

The company stated that these interventions are helping enhance classroom experiences, improve access to resources, and create safer learning spaces for students.

The initiative also extends support to tribal schools, gram panchayats and rural healthcare facilities, contributing to broader and inclusive community development.

Commenting on the initiative, Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Drychem India Pvt. Ltd., said, “Education has always been central to our philosophy at Drychem, because we believe true nation-building begins in the classroom. Strengthening infrastructure across 100+ schools is not just a milestone for us—it reflects our long-term commitment to creating equitable learning environments…”
