On January 20, 2023, Delta India did a brick-laying and Pooja ceremony to build female toilets and urinals at the Krishnagiri-Kurubarapalli Senior Secondary School. This CSR initiative aims to benefiting up to 514 local women by providing community infrastructure that focuses on improving sanitation and wellness.
Pooja (Sanskrit: पूजा) is a worship ritual performed by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains to offer homage and prayer to one or more deities, to host and honor a guest, or to spiritually celebrate an event. The ceremony usually consists of making an offering of flowers or fruit to an image of a god.
Mr. Joe Kao, Mr. Britto K and Mr. Varadarajan N represented Delta at the ceremony hosted by the school Principal and staff as well as the Parent Teacher Association. Students across 26 nearby villages have access to the school thereby improving quality of life among rural communities. In addition to restrooms, Delta is also assisting the school administration in establishing changing rooms for female students.
