In the field of education, the aim is to collaborate with learning facilitators and schools to improve student learning levels specifically in elementary science to promote understanding of renewable energy amongst children.

In a bid to improve access to healthcare for the rural and tribal communities, the Tata Trusts have proposed deployment of Mobile Health Units (MHUs) in Lakhpati Kisan clusters. Women from the community institutions will be trained so as to facilitate spreading awareness amongst the community on the various services offered by the MHUs.
