Message from the Chair

Maya Shahani

Founder and Chairperson

The Shahani Trust has been funding the

philanthropic activities of the Shahani Group,

through family funds since the last sixty years.

Looking at the positive outcomes and to magnify

the scope of its activities, the Trust created the

SAGE Foundation which accepts donations and

has the 80G and FCRA clearance. One hundred

percent of the donations received by SAGE goes to

the worthy causes it is meant for. The

administrative costs of running SAGE are borne by

the Shahani Group.

SAGE Foundation aligns with organizations which

are doing good work and through its intervention,

enhances their scope. Most of the funds go

directly from the donors to these charities, which

explains why SAGE has a small corpus.Buy1Give1

is one of the major donors for SAGE and the other

worthy causes adopted by it.

We are now celebrating the 10th year of SAGE

Fou datio s e iste e. For us, our greatest gift is

the happy smiles and hugs we receive from our

children.

Message from the Managing Director

We have created SAGE Foundation as the CSR Arm

of the Shahani Group of Educational Institutes. We

encourage our students to volunteer and mentor

towards all activities undertaken by SAGE, as our intent

is to create ethical, heart centric global corporate

leaders who learn to give back to society. Very few

educational institutes have in house foundations like

the ones we have created.

We also believe in equity in education. So we provide

scholarships, through SAGE Foundation and our own

family trust, the Thadomal Shahani Trust, to meritorious

marginalized students. They are trained for

employability through our experiential, responsive

learning systems which teaches them crucial soft skills,

team spirit, critical thinking, undertaking of live projects

and other skills required by industry.

Very low income students, living in slums are given the

same education as the elite, and get jobs in

multinational companies which secures them for a

lifetime of financial freedom.

EDUCATION

Edu atio is the most powerful weapon

you can use to change the world. - Nelson Mandela

Through interventions in educational patterns in

existing Educational Institutes right across the

socio-economic board, SAGE Foundation as the

CSR arm of the Thadomal Shahani Educational

Institutes, endeavors to create a unique model

that addresses equity and excellence in

education.

This model is replicable across the globe as its

dynamism rests in quality, efficacy and

adaptability of the programmes.

We will build bridges and encourage

understanding and communication that will

prove to be key connectors in the evolving global

economy. These will be the basic building blocks

on which academic institutes will be built.

Page 7: Educating and Empowering for Creating Extraordinary Livesthesagefoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/... · Educating and Empowering for Creating Extraordinary Lives . CONTENTS

We bring equity in education through heartwarming

stories like these:

SCHOLARSHIPS

This year the Shahani Group has helped 20 children with scholarships in our Banking and Finance Courses in order to get jobs in the banking sector. These children come from disadvantaged, conservative backgrounds with common challenges.

Two scholarships were given by Buy1Give1 to SAGE Foundation and the rest were given by the Thadomal Shahani Group. Looking at the success of these courses, SAGE hopes to get more such scholarships.

The success stories of the students are written below:

FUTURE PLANS

Skills Training

Sage Foundation is working towards imparting skills training to the under resourced

rural and slum dwellers. The revenues created by the sale of these world class quality

products in higher end markets in India and abroad will be ploughed back into the

system for educating and empowering these families.

To achieve this objective, SAGE is in touch with ISKCON and SAMPARC Foundation

India is a land of rich culture that varies across its length and breadth. Much of its

ancient heritage is preserved in the villages. With rural migration and changing cultural

patterns much of the rich tradition of India is slowly vanishing. With a view to preserve

this timeless heritage, SAGE hopes to preserve various traditional art forms like warli

paintings, pottery, hand-looms, handicrafts etc.
