Canon celebrates the transformative journey of Parivali Village under its ‘Adopt a Village’ Initiative

Notable developments witnessed in the village across the four areas of Education, Eye Care, Environment and Empowerment along with infrastructure improvements

Mumbai: Reinforcing its dedication to community development, Canon India marked four years of its adoption of Parivali Village, Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, the seventh village under its ‘Adopt a Village’ initiative. The celebrations were kicked off by Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President & CEO, Canon India, who inaugurated the newly constructed rainwater harvesting facility & recharge pit to address the foreseeable issue of declining water levels in the regions of Maharashtra. Furthermore, these sustainable, cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions will meet the demands of water required by the school for toilet facilities, cleaning the school premises and ensuring watering of the plantation.

With a larger aim of providing quality education, as a part of its 4Es policy, Canon India has facilitated enrolment of total 594 students through its focused initiatives at the Resource Centre and Computer Classes. Notably, the school was twice recognised by Maharashtra Chief Minister’s ‘My School, Beautiful School’ campaign for overall development. Further strengthening the local infrastructure, Canon has made significant contributions to the establishment of drinking water stations, construction of toilets for boys and girls, and setting-up of a functional library. Additionally, 354 students have benefitted from skill-based training programs aimed at improving employability and self-reliance. Through the establishment of the ‘Vision Centre,’ the facility has provided over 4174 community people with timely eye camps and check-ups. Subsequently, fostering efforts towards a healthy environment, a total of 1685 trees have been planted, and further with the support of the village residents has conducted regular cleanliness drives.

Speaking on the four year journey with Parivali Village, Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President & CEO, Canon India said, “At Canon, holistic development of the villages is at the core of our flagship project ‘Adopt a Village’, which is paramount for a self- sustained nation. The remarkable progress of Parivali Village over the past four years stands as a powerful reminder of the difference we can make through our collective efforts. By providing the village with essential resources and imparting critical skills, we have not only empowered a community but also deepened our commitment to sustainable progress. The positive changes witnessed in Parivali have deeply inspired me, and strengthened our resolve to shape a better future, fostering growth and ensuring brighter opportunities for them.”

Along with ‘Adopt a Village’ project, the organization also launched the Skill Development and Livelihood programme last year in alignment with the Skill India mission. The project demonstrates Canon India’s commitment to contributing to Indian society by uplifting youth aged 18-25 years, living in urban slums by preparing them for seamless placement in customer-centric, grey-collar jobs, ensuring a pathway to stable and meaningful employment. As a significant impact, the program has enrolled 541 youth so far with 234 youth placed in jobs doubling their family income.

Since the launch of the ‘Adopt a Village’ initiative in 2012, Canon India has been undertaking the overall development of villages across India for a certain period. The initiative has brought a widespread impact in the last decade through its 4Es CSR policy as well as infrastructural development, in the adopted villages. At present, Canon India has a total of 9 adopted villages which includes Nandrampur Bass in Haryana, Parivali in Maharashtra, Annadodi in Karnataka, and Kalyanpur in Kolkata.

  • Most of the things you mention happens to be astonishingly legitimate and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. Nevertheless at this time there is 1 position I am not too comfortable with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the main idea of your point, permit me see what the rest of the subscribers have to say.Very well done.

  • I do love the way you have framed this specific challenge plus it really does provide us a lot of fodder for thought. Nevertheless, because of what precisely I have experienced, I simply wish when the remarks pack on that people today continue to be on point and in no way get started on a tirade of the news du jour. Yet, thank you for this fantastic point and while I can not really agree with it in totality, I regard your perspective.
