CSS Corp installs Solar Panels with battery back up at The Government Urdu Model Primary School (GUMPS), Bangalore, Karnataka. The installed capacity is 1100 Watts which covers fans, lights and a computer system. The school had a requirement to provide power supply for light bulbs alone due to the frequent outages in the locality. We have extended our support to a few selected fans and also a computer during this installation. The connected points will draw power from solar energy whenever electricity is cut off from the grid. For normal usage, the system will operate on solar power. This arrangement ensures classes to operate normally during power outages and thus experience considerable reduction in carbon emissions. This system has been provided with an AMC package for three years, starting from the second year onwards.
In the heart of every child is a hunger for home. Not just for food and a place to sleep, but for safety and community. Most importantly: for love. ALL THE CHILDREN organization , an Indian social improvement association, is straightforwardly benefitting more than 80 children and 50 senior citizens consistently.

The children and the teaching faculty had been experiencing unpleasant times during summer. The fans were installed at The Ambattur Government Higher Secondary School at Chennai.
Supporting ancient martial art “Silambam”. Silambam is a weapon-based Indian traditional martial art which had originated from Tamil Nadu (South India) but this is also being practiced by the traditional community of Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and across many other parts of India. The word ‘Silambam’ refers to the bamboo staff which is the main weapon used in this traditional art. The other weapons used are the Maduvu (Deer horn), Kathi (Knife) and Vaal(Sword). Unarmed Silambam called Kuttu Varisai, utilizes stances and routines based on animal movements such as the snake, tiger and eagle forms.

A school and its environment is the basis of growth for children. Lack of access to proper sanitation facilities poses a huge barrier to education as children frequently forego school due to hygiene-related diseases. Restrooms and proper washing stations can help prevent the spread of many diseases and parasites. Restrooms play a key role in creating a safe and healthy school environment where children can focus on learning. We are glad to announce that we have constructed and handed over five restrooms to The Government Model Primary School at Bangalore.
CSS Corp has planted 2500 tree saplings inside CRPF campus at Avadi, Chennai. CRPF enables the government of India to maintain Rule of Law, Public Order and Internal Security effectively and efficiently, to Preserve National Integrity and Promote Social Harmony and Development by upholding supremacy of the Constitution.
At CRPF, we adopted the “Miyawaki method” which is a unique technique to grow dense forests. Under the approach, dozens of native species are planted in the same area, close to each other, which ensures that the plants receive sunlight only from the top, and grow upwards than sideways.
Native trees from India, which are fruit bearing and pollinating were planted. These saplings once matured will increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. They also act as natural water reservoirs and help conserve and replenish ground water. For the event, 55 sapling varieties were chosen and 2500 saplings were planted.
To achieve this feat, 265 plus volunteers from CSS Corp & family members, CRPF Javans, NCC cadets and public were part of this plantation drive. These saplings will be maintained for next two years.
