Tata Steel Foundation felicitates teachers and students for exceptional contributions

Jamshedpur, Oct 2: Tata Steel Foundation hosted a felicitation ceremony to recognise the merit of the first batch of students from Masti Ki Pathshala, who passed matriculation earlier this year. The event saw the presence of DC, East Singhbhum, Masti Ki Pathshala school teachers, principals along with Chanakya Chaudhary, Director, Tata Steel Foundation, Sourav Roy, Chief Executive Officer, Tata Steel Foundation, among other officials of the Foundation.

Students and teachers were felicitated for their consistent contribution in reaching a milestone of starting with no formal education to joining an English medium government school and passing the first hurdle of matriculation. Some of the students took up internship during their summer break, before re-joining school to complete their higher studies. The event also saw performances by the students and teachers in between the compelling sessions conducted by principals from various schools, teachers, Sourav Roy and the DC of East Singhbhum.

Speaking on the occasion, Sourav Roy, Chief Executive Officer, Tata Steel Foundation shared, “It is inspiring to see what the children and teachers have achieved together, and it is a teaser to what they can do further. This transformation, however, did not come easy, and was daunting at the start. But we are thankful to have teachers who have made it their personal mission to ensure every child gets access to equal education and opportunities. The children have also inspired many of their peers through their journey and the future they have set for themselves.”
