This programme aims to improve the
accessibility and quality of secondary
school education. We also provide financial
assistance and scholarships to deserving
students. Special coaching classes are
also conducted to help students excel in
competitive examinations.
This programme seeks to enhance the
employability of youth by training them in
automotive (driver and motor mechanic
courses) and non-automotive (community
members are offered agriculture and allied
training) trades.
Community members, school students and
employees are engaged in plantation and
cleanliness drive – raising environmental
consciousness. Community members are
also encouraged to use renewable energy
products, which reduce carbon emissions.
In FY 2017, 11130 TML employees
participated as volunteers.
