The wide-ranging CSR campaigns overseen by UST aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and included a variety of projects aimed at improving education and community across India.

Complimentary efforts worked to provide increased education and opportunities for people with disabilities and others that face social difficulties.<\/p>\n

\"\"UST won praise for its bold life-cycle approach to education as implemented in the \u2018Transforming Lives Through Education<\/em>\u2019 program.\u00a0 Built upon successful Adopt-a-School initiatives, UST works to increase integration so that the program can serve as a springboard for community development. This allows for investment in education to yield tremendous benefits while bridging achievement gaps at every level for students coming from lower socio-economic backgrounds. The program has reached to more than 30,000\u00a0students in the last five years covering all major UST India locations including Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Coimbatore and Noida.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of UST\u2019s efforts to transform lives, and providing quality education to the less privileged is key to our vision of increasing opportunities for the next generation. This recognition from PMI is a testimonial to the great work our team is doing and will further motivate us to continue our efforts and work to make a difference.\u00a0On behalf of everyone at UST, I want to thank all our CSR ambassadors, leads and volunteers for everything they did to earn us this award and for making 2022 an impactful year,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Sunil Balakrishnan, Chief Values Officer and Global Head of Center Operations, UST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
