As part of their Corporate Social Responsibility, Skoda Auto India has entered the field of rural education by constructing a Shendra Zilla Parishad School. The school with 10 spacious and well ventilated classrooms, state of the art furniture and computers was inaugurated at the hands of Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland, Chairman of Board of Management at Skoda Auto along with other officials, dignitaries and members of Aurangabad Gram Panchayat. The school building was constructed in a matter of 7 months.
By building this school, Skoda Auto India aims to develop and support education and secure a sound future for the children in rural areas by giving them equal opportunities as their counterparts in developed towns and cities.
