TATA's Adult Literacy Program: A Game Changer for Marginalized Women, Thanks to Kishan Gopal Laddha
Passionate and articulate, he’s seen the pain and shame that comes with illiteracy as many women struggle to access the essential resources they feel disempowered and frustrated. So as Head of Literacy at one of India's biggest companies TATA, Kishan chose to teach in the biggest slums in India - to serve to give and to empower. A beautiful warm, and engaging teacher and an engineer, he’s seen lives transformed within a week as they hold a pen for the first time, access new Literacy technology, and learn how to write and read🙏🏼📘😘🙏🏼🌎
With almost a million beneficiaries in 17 states of India, the TATA adult literacy program is transformative.📗📗
The literacy program has a unique focus on women and adults from marginalized communities and has also been extensively used by prison authorities as a reformation process for the inmates. 📘📘
Our guest Kishan Gopal Laddha started his professional career with Tata Consultancy Services, serving as a design engineer with one of the world’s largest medical manufacturing companies.
Finding passion in serving, he joined the pioneering batch of Teach for India and taught as a primary teacher in low-income schools in India’s largest slums for two years. He joined TCS as the bridge between corporate and society and led Corporate Social Responsibility for central, north, and western India TCS CSR.
Over the years, he worked with non-neo literates and empowered them with self-respect, confidence, and reliance.
He heads TCS’ Literacy as a Service, which serves 1.1 mn+ people (>80%) women across India.🌺🌺🎤
His passion is incredible and inspiring, we hope you connect with his story as much as we did.
