Tech
Mahindra Foundation under its Employability vertical has launched Tech
Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare in Mumbai. Its third SMART Academy
is in association with Auxilium Convent School, Pali Hill, which was
conceptualized following the success of the first two healthcare
academies in New Delhi and Mohali.
Inspired with Tech Mahindra Foundation’s CSR mandate of benefiting over 50% women beneficiaries, the Mumbai Academy is an “All Women” Academy with both the staff and student being women. To strengthen the objectives of SMART Academies for Healthcare, Tech Mahindra Foundation recently launched the #MainBhiHero campaign that aims at creating awareness about the skill-gap of Paramedical Professionals in the country. This All Women SMART Mumbai Academy is a major step ahead in this direction.
Inaugurating
the new Academy in Mumbai, Mr. Anand G. Mahindra – Chairman, Mahindra
Group, said, “This All Women Healthcare Academy in Mumbai, will open new
doors for women and ensure that they get equal access to quality
education and career opportunities in the healthcare sector. Indian
women have made us proud in so many ways. Their nurturing hands will
make a big difference in our Healthcare Services.”
The
Mumbai Academy is a state-of-the-art institute envisaged to create
skilled Paramedic and Allied Healthcare professionals. It is equipped
with hospital simulated labs, industry-relevant study material, and
experienced faculty to help young women make a career in the noble
healthcare sector.
