ELGi SCHOOL

Established in 1989, the ELGi School in Coimbatore has enabled hundreds of children from low-income families with access to affordable quality education for the past three decades, helping them realise their dreams. The company’s founder-chairman L.G. Varadarajulu, had a vision for sustainable human development, igniting a spark that has over the years grown into what Dr Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director Elgi Equipments calls “a mighty flame, illuminating the lives of hundreds of socially disadvantaged children and their families.”

Living up to its vision of "giving back to society by developing good citizens through holistic quality education at subsidised cost," the ELGi School has reached out to communities around Vellalore area in Coimbatore over the years. It has been fulfilling educational needs by offering scholarships to deserving children from low-income backgrounds.

With the help of Times of India and Karpagam University, we also set up a programme for school students to help them with their career choices. The seminars on topics like Career Importance, Career Decision Making Steps, Career Decision Making Errors, Career Importance of Skills, Current Skills in Demand, Prevailing Career Trends, and New Age Careers were highly illuminating. The guest speakers provided the students with a broader understanding of their choices for professional or higher education courses. The career counselling and counselling session gave students crucial advice as they approached choosing which career to pursue. For the students, the workshop proved to be a motivating and educational course that would help them seek exciting job prospects and plan their bright futures.
