Speaking on the occasion, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath Ji, said, “I congratulate HCL for launching ‘Samuday’ in Uttar Pradesh.

I am confident that the spirit with which the project is being implemented will certainly help the last man on the ground.”
In a little over two years, Samuday has set up over 380 ICT-based classrooms and enrolled 1865 people for adult literacy programme.

The Foundation has supported 2000 pregnant females and 7000 severely malnourished children.
“We, at HCL Foundation, believe that positive social change can be brought by innovative and creative models of development. Our proximity to the place from where we started our journey makes Uttar Pradesh the right fit for the project to begin. We feel that through the Samuday model, we will be able to develop a blueprint that is sustainable, scalable and replicable throughout the world,” said Roshni Nadar Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer, HCL Corporation and Chairperson of the CSR Committee for the HCL Technologies Board.
“HCL Samuday will help us bring a positive impact through its various interventions in the areas of Education, Livelihood, Health, Infrastructure, Wash & Sanitation and Agriculture.
