Motilal Oswal Foundation sponsored construction of one hostel building at the Parivaar residential school complex at Sandalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The self-sufficient hostel building provides lodging & boarding facility for 200 tribal students. Parivaar runs educational programs in the remote, primarily tribal villages of Madhya Pradesh, wherein students study in their village till class 5th. Since at most of places facilities for secondary education are limited or not in good condition – Parivaar has started the residential school initiative. The residential school focuses on comprehensive development of students through sports, cultural and recreational activities. Their aim is to make students complete higher education, gain skills and become responsible contributing citizens of the country.

Motilal Oswal Foundation has built a residential school for 2000 tribal children in Balangir district of Odisha in collaboration with Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS). The school spread over 15 acres of land has in-house 50 bedded hospital, separate hostel facility for girls and boys, a solar powered kitchen, a skill development center and fully equipped sports ground. The entire campus is built on Green campus principles with modern waste management facility.
Bolangir is one of the under-developed districts of Odisha. The school has come up as a ray of hope for the people of the region. While the school will provide free of cost education to all the students from STD 1st to 12th, it will also generate employment opportunities for the locals.
Guided by our motto of ‘Knowledge First’ the Motilal Oswal- KISS Residential School will fuel India’s development with enlightened and empowered youths.
We believe robust infrastructure is one of the important foundations for creating quality education opportunities. Therefore, as part of our CSR we keep contributing towards building high quality educational institutions in India. We recently supported expansion of ‘Agrawal – Oswal Chhatrawas’ – a hostel for CA aspirants located in Mumbai. While the five storeyed old structure could accommodate 200 students, the new structure has twelve floors thereby increasing the capacity. An entire floor is kept for recreational activities, seminars and conferences. The hostel just does not provide with safe lodging and boarding, it provides the students a nurturing environment for their holistic development too.
