India: Casio India, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of consumer electronics donates 100 Casio Laser LED Hybrid Projectors to Task Force for Music and Arts (TaFMA) empanelled music institutes, its district partners and selected community-based NGOs under its ‘Gyan Ki Roshni’ CSR Initiative. This initiative is part of Casio’s larger narrative of helping rural India by providing them adequate educational infrastructure for a technology-oriented learning experience.
Casio Laser LED Hybrid Projectors have been given to empower creative minds to learn music in a technologically advanced setup. Despite several challenges that the music fraternity has faced over the course of the last few months, this endeavour reflects Casio’s commitment to foster music education and encourage creativity. The effort is driven by the philosophy of giving back to society and is one of Casio’s major initiatives in Nagaland.
Mr. Kulbhushan Seth, VP, Casio India said, “Our association with Nagaland goes back to 2010 where we collaborated with the government music body Music Task Force. For the last 2 years, we have been working with TaFMA to support music education in Nagaland. This year we further extended our support to Nagaland Govt. by donating 100 laser led hybrid projectors (mercury free) to support their digitalization program. We expect that through these projectors, government can spread awareness messages with respect to various social, economic, healthcare, agricultural, educational etc. activities. In future also, we would like to work closely with government in other fields as well, like supporting mathematics education via technology.”
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio lent his support to this initiative by personally handing over the Casio laser LED hybrid projectors to music institutes and NGOs in presence of TAFMA Advisor Theja Meru, Advisor to CM – Abu Mehta and other officials
Commenting on the association, Theja Meru, TAFMA, said “Thanks to Casio India and Hon’ble CM Shri Neiphiu Rio for their support and enabling TaFMA to expand its network, bringing entire music fraternity’s vision to life. We are grateful for the very kind gesture and looking forward to our journey together to help built the music society.”
