Shikshaantra Plus Program:

To bridge learning gaps and ensure equal access to quality education, SHE, in collaboration with KHUSHII, launched the Shikshaantra Plus initiative — a comprehensive school transformation program empowering children across 10 Government schools in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh.

Since 2022, the program has reached over 8,000 students, providing support education in key subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Gujarati, Computer Education, and Spoken English through innovative remedial teaching techniques.

The initiative goes beyond academics — focusing on holistic development by:

1. Enhancing teaching-learning environments and digital classrooms
2. Promoting health, hygiene, and WASH awareness
3. Building 21st-century life skills, creativity, and critical thinking through STEM & CCT sessions
4. Offering counselling and psychosocial support to nurture emotional well-being
5. Encouraging student leadership through Maitri Groups (children’s clubs)

Through Shikshaantra Plus, SHE is not just improving education — it is inspiring confidence, curiosity, and a brighter future for thousands of young learners across rural India.

Green Belt - Mandal:

At the Mandal Toll Plaza, systematic green belt development has been undertaken to enhance environmental quality and promote ecological balance in an area that previously had limited green cover. Tree plantation activities within and around the toll plaza have contributed to improved air quality, dust and noise reduction, and the creation of a more pleasant environment for commuters and nearby communities.

A diverse mix of fruit-bearing, non-fruit-bearing, and flowering tree species has been planted to support biodiversity and long-term sustainability. These include fruit trees such as mango, tamarind, guava, lemon, jackfruit, coconut, banana, papaya, and jamun, along with native shade and avenue species such as neem, banyan, Ashoka, and bel patra.

The initiative reflects SHE’s commitment to green belt development, environmental stewardship, and sustainable infrastructure, aligned with its broader sustainability and climate resilience objectives.

Solar Street Light:

• Solar Street Lights – SHE Corridor

  Under the sustainability and energy-efficiency initiative, solar-powered streetlights have been installed along the SHE corridor at key locations to enhance illumination, ensure road safety, and reduce dependency on grid electricity. A total of 177 All-in-One (AIO) solar streetlights have been commissioned across the stretch, primarily of 40W and 60W capacity, ensuring continuous night-time visibility and safety for commuters.

• Community Solar Street Light Installation

  As part of SHE’s community engagement and green infrastructure initiative, 10 solar streetlights have been installed in nearby community areas along the SHE corridor. The installations were prioritized for village approach roads to improve safety and accessibility after dusk.

  The initiative promotes:

  1. Enhanced local safety through better night-time lighting.
  2. Renewable energy adoption within surrounding communities.
  3. Awareness among residents on the benefits of decentralized solar systems.

This activity demonstrates SHE commitment to fostering “Safer and Sustainable Highways” and strengthening local partnerships for climate-positive action.

Tree Plantation:

Under the Swachhotsav-2025 campaign, the Surat–Hazira NH-6 team, in collaboration with the Forest Department, conducted a Massive Tree Plantation Drive at SHE toll plazas under the theme “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam.” A total of 700 saplings were planted with active participation from employees and stakeholders.

The initiative reflects SHE’s commitment to environmental stewardship, green infrastructure development, and national cleanliness and afforestation drives.
