dropouts encouraging them to join back. The Foundation also plays a pivotal
‘parental role' through individual monitoring the first generation learners. Besides
exploring and nurturing local rural talents, it regularly demonstrates innovative
teaching methods at neighboring government-run schools with an aim to improve
learning standards.

health check-ups. It also conducts specialized healthcare for the elderly by
conducting cataract screening and performing free surgeries. This apart, it holds
routine STI/RTI check-up camps to identify potential HIV cases to prevent the
spread of HIV/AIDS cases at the same time enhancing rural awareness of the
dreaded scourge.

Livelihood
To create livelihoods for rural women by providing revolving fund, skill training and
other linkage services to empower rural women to reduce gender-based
discrimination.

Sports
To encourage rural sports the JSW Foundation has formed the Jindal Squash
Academy, Jindal Badminton Academy, Jindal Swimming Academy and Jindal table
Tennis Academy. These academies provide necessary trainings and students have
attained national-level success in many events.
Environment
To create an environmental friendly environ, the Foundation builds model villages
by developing rural infrastructure complete with roads and drainage system. To
improve living standards, it creates sanitary facilities for providing effective
disposal of solid waste. The Foundation also sensitizes rural eco-friendliness
through enhanced tree planting.

The Foundation builds libraries and has also build an art centre for accelerating
rural socio-cultural development. To create garbage-free villages, the Foundation
sets up garbage management units using proper garbage handling mechanism. It
takes utmost care to create rural awareness on the importance of hygiene and the
crucial role people can play to make that a reality. To minimize waste produced the
Foundation has introduced scientific recycling and reusing technologies.

Arts, Culture & Heritage

Heritage conservation

JSW Foundation is involved in preservation, conservation and restoration of

Heritage buildings. In 2004, JSW Foundation facilitated the creation of the Friends
of Sir J. J. School of Arts Trust that restored the exterior of the Fine Arts building.
The resources were mobilized from the Member of Parliament Local Area
Development (MPLAD) fund. At the Sir J. J. School of Art in Mumbai, following a
major exterior restoration initiative, the Foundation is presently documenting and
restoring invaluable collection of paintings and sculptures (dating back to 1878)
and establishing an art museum at the campus. After six long years of negotiation,
the Maharashtra government has finally permitted JSWF to document and conserve
the priceless artifacts, restore the interiors of the fine arts building, and, convert
the bungalow called the Dean bungalow, into an arts museum.

ART India Magazine

JSW also promotes a quarterly publication 'Art India' which is a special vehicle
designed to promote debate and discuss on Art. This magazine has been
recognized by the New York Times as “the only serious art magazine” in the region.

A quarterly publication for ART India provides a forum of artists, art lovers and the
business community to be in touch with one another.

The Foundation is establishing a craft village to encourage local artisans and

craftsman practice and exhibit their crafts.

The group promotes regular training and orientation to budding performance

artists, and through residences, facilitates their performance before art
connoisseurs.
