The annual event, now in its fourth year, transformed the school grounds into a vibrant tableau of joy. This initiative unlocked the opportunity for tribal communities in Palghar, where even basic supplies remain out of reach. Since 2021, PSIPL’s employee-driven campaign has bridged this gap:
-
₹3.2 lakhs raised to date
-
54 children equipped this year (30 girls, 24 boys)
-
Zero corporate sponsorships—100% employee-funded and volunteer-led
Spreading Smiles has been a cornerstone of PSIPL’s CSR efforts. Since its inception, PSIPL employees have voluntarily funded, organised, and personally packed kits and engaged with students, witnessing firsthand how something as simple as a raincoat or notebook can transform a child’s ability to learn. The initiative reflects the company’s resolve to address educational inequality at the grassroots level.
“Corporate responsibility starts with individuals,” said Mr. Deepak Shanbhag, CEO, PSIPL. “Our teams prove every year that small, consistent efforts create real change. This isn’t charity—it’s an investment in futures.”
