29th October 2024: Orion Innovation (“Orion”), a leading digital transformation and product development services firm, reaffirms its commitment to supporting local communities in India through its OI Empower program, a CSR initiative that leverages technology education to empower underprivileged youth. This initiative will benefit students from the Corporation Higher Secondary School in Udayampalayam, Coimbatore.
OI Empower, Orion’s flagship CSR initiative, is dedicated to expanding access to quality education and technological resources for underprivileged communities, driving meaningful growth and development. Through a series of impactful projects, OI Empower aims to enhance learning environments and provide students with essential skills to succeed in the digital era. Alongside establishing a new computer lab, Orion employees and their families will volunteer at the school, offering expert coaching in key tech areas where our engineers excel, ensuring students receive guidance and support tailored to the digital landscape.
During the inauguration, Arun Paul, Head of Human Resources at Orion Innovation, expressed his satisfaction in leading this initiative. “We are proud to launch our technology-enabled computer lab for underprivileged children, reflecting our commitment to positively impacting the community.
By providing access to advanced technology and resources, we aim to enhance their education and help students gain important skills for the future. This initiative is about preparing them for success in a digital world.”
Funded by Orion Innovation, this newly upgraded smart computer lab is equipped with desktop computers, smartboards, and UPS systems, enabling virtual interactions and immersive learning experiences. This setup represents a substantial improvement over the school’s previous basic arrangement of chairs, tables, and outdated, non-functional computers, now offering students an enhanced and continuous learning environment.
At the launch, Mr. Ramesh Babu Muthuvel, Vice President of Orion Innovation, stated, “We are excited to inaugurate our new Computer Lab, underscoring our commitment to community service. This state-of-the-art facility will provide access to technology and training programs to enhance digital literacy, thereby making a positive impact on the education of children in underprivileged areas. The dedication and enthusiasm of our employees and their family members, who volunteered to teach STEM subjects and life skills over the weekends, fill us with immense pride.”
Orion Innovation remains committed to supporting local communities and fostering sustainable growth through its corporate social responsibility programs, continuing to focus on creating a meaningful impact on society.
