SOCIAL CAPITAL IN OUR VALUE CREATION Social Capital at Mahindra is the foundation of our long-term value creation strategy. Our community-focused interventions are rooted in deep listening and partnerships with local institutions, ensuring they address national priorities and hyper-local needs. From empowering the girl child to enabling women farmers to adopt regenerative agricultural practices, we approach social impact as a continuum, supporting individuals across their life stages to grow with dignity, agency, and resilience. We contribute to an economically robust and socially inclusive future by integrating social impact into our value creation model. EMPOWERING GIRLS – PROJECT NANHI KALI Educating a girl is the first step toward creating a more equal world. Project Nanhi Kali, our flagship initiative for girls' education, bridges the opportunity gap for underserved girls, helping them transition confidently into higher education, employment, and self-reliance. The program focuses on building 21st century skills and developing sports leadership skills while providing essential materials through an annual Nanhi Kali Kit. We have introduced the Skill Bridge program to enhance the English fluency and job readiness of adolescent girls. Additionally, we have a Teacher Training initiative aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, which enables non-Nanhi Kali schools to incorporate similar Teacher Training programs on 21st century skills. Since its inception, Nanhi Kali has positively impacted attendance, reduced dropout rates, and ensured continuity in education for the marginalized. KEY COMPONENTS OF PROJECT NANHI KALI • 21st Century Skills: The curriculum emphasises financial skills, digital skills, and soft skills, including critical thinking, communication, and gender sensitisation. • Sports Leadership Skills: This component features a professionally designed sports curriculum tailored exclusively for girls. • A Nanhi Kali Kit: A yearly material kit containing a drawstring bag, necessary sports gear, and feminine hygiene essentials.
