Universal Sompo General Insurance has collaborated with Child Rights and You (CRY) to enhance educational opportunities for children in marginalized communities in Andhra Pradesh. This partnership aligns with Universal Sompo’s inauguration of its new corporate office in Mumbai and underscores its commitment to fostering social impact through education.
The initiative focuses on establishing Remedial Tuition Centres for 10th and 12th-grade students, providing targeted academic support in critical subjects like Mathematics and Science. Over a three-month period (January to March 2025), the program aims to prepare students for board examinations, ensuring their readiness and encouraging professional and science-based education streams. The project will benefit 114 students and 82 families, offering career counselling to help students make informed decisions about pursuing engineering, medical, and other professional courses.

Education is the cornerstone of progress, and through this initiative we aim to help children achieve academic excellence and unlock their potential for a brighter future.
