Jagathi Foundation Launches ‘3C’ Holistic Student Development Program in Guntur

Hyderabad, 08^th March 2026: Jagathi Foundation launched its flagship Holistic Student Development Program – CARE • CONSERVE • COMPUTE (3C) at S.N. Government High School, Palaparru, Pedanandipadu Mandal, Guntur District on Friday. The initiative aims to prepare government school students for a digital future while promoting climate awareness and healthy living.

The “3C” program has been designed to address key challenges faced by students in government schools through an integrated approach focusing on digital learning, STEM education, environmental awareness, and health & nutrition.

The program targets several critical gaps including the digital divide caused by limited access to computers, internet and trained educators; the STEM exposure gap with minimal opportunities for hands-on science, coding and innovation; climate awareness regarding sustainability and resilience; and health and nutrition challenges such as malnutrition, anemia and hygiene issues that affect learning outcomes.

The initiative is being launched with its first corporate partner C1, a global technology solutions provider that modernizes infrastructure, communications and security for organizations. C1 is committed to delivering meaningful outcomes in education and supporting everyday learning. Through this collaboration, C1 will contribute technical expertise to modernize school infrastructure and create better opportunities for students.

As part of the program, four government schools—two in Telangana and two in Andhra Pradesh—across urban and rural regions will be adopted and supported over a three-year period, benefiting more than 600 students.

The inaugural launch event was held at ZPHS, Palaparru, in the presence of Mr. Chandra Boddoju, MD & Country Head, C1 India, along with members of the C1 leadership team including Rajesh Tatineni (Head of HR), Arpita Mehta (Program Manager), Suresh Ramesh (Competency Head), Sudha Veduraparthi (Head of Recruitment) and Samuel John (PMO).

The event was also attended by Jagathi Foundation Board Members Abou Baker, Rama Chandra, Ratan Raja, Kiran Kumar and Tirupati Reddy, along with MEO Ramesh Babu, Headmaster M. Srinivasa Rao, school staff and enthusiastic students.

Jagathi Foundation expressed its heartfelt gratitude to C1 for sponsoring the initiative and thanked the school leadership, teachers and students for their active participation.
