Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions recently invited around 1,200 students from 16 schools to its campus here to interact with its employees. These schools are part of Bosch’s Model School Development programme.

The RBEI team, according to Sriram TV, Vice-President (Engineering) and Centre Head, Coimbatore, ensured that the schools had the appropriate environment to enable students to focus on their dreams — in terms of infrastructure, classrooms, ventilation, equipment, clean water and sanitation. “The company also awarded scholarships to the academically brilliant and economically under-privileged students,” he added.

He further said that RBEI employees offered volunteering service for 17,500 hours in 2016. “We invest in the future of the city’s youngsters and are certain that this would go a long way in aiding the social and economic growth of the country,” he said

Krishna A, Senior Vice-President, RBEI, said the company is committed to working closely with Coimbatore for development — be it in bringing sustainable practices or knowledge transfer of technologies through projects.

“Working with the local community to create a more vibrant city has been in the forefront of our activities. Through volunteering, we help people understand the unlimited possibilities of every individual to be change makers in the society.

“We partner with like minded corporates and NGOs towards a clean and green Coimbatore through afforestation drive, developing parks and restoring lakes,” Krishna said.
