With the adoption of the village school as the first step in this direction, Canon India focuses to improve the quality of education that would positively affect the lives of children in the school adopted in the village. The school adoption program by Canon India aims to educate and provide better infrastructure to make the school more conducive to learning and fun to attend. Canon aims to expand facilities in this school by way of an activity centre for children with sports equipment, art and craft material and books, drawing books and colours.
