Support to Shaskiya Prathmik Vidyalaya, Mehtawas-
In the year 2010, LANXESS India supported Shaskiya Prathmik Vidyalaya, located in Mehtawas village at Nagda in order to make a meaningful difference to the 125 odd students studying there. LANXESS in its initiative in the first year improved the infrastructure of this school in addition to donating essential items to the students. In order to encourage education within the local community and with a focus on upliftment of children belonging to weaker sections of the society, LANXESS also provided scholarships to the meritorious students of every class.

In September, 2011, four sewing machines, one embroidery machine and peripherals like ceiling fans, water purifier, etc. were provided for the girl students to be trained in tailoring alongside their academic curriculum as well as for other interested women in the area.

Support to the Madhya Pradesh Labour Welfare Board- The Labour Welfare Board of the Government of Madhya Pradesh organizes various vocational training programmes, one of them being free training in sewing for women and girl children belonging to the families of labours/workers. Nagda is one of the locations where around 30 women are currently trained at such a sewing training center. LANXESS India has helped them with four sewing machines, two embroidery machines and peripherals like ceiling fans, water purifier, etc.

Support to Shaskiya Kanya Shala- LANXESS supported the school by providing supporting infrastructure and other essential items for the 320 students of the school.

Solar lamps installed in Mehtawas- LANXESS supported the local community by installing eight solar street lights in Mehtawas village, neighboring Nagda. Notably, these lights would be driven by solar power, which is not only environmentally friendly but also reliable as sunlight is the source of power. Eight points have been identified by LANXESS for the installation of lights keeping in mind the security aspects of the area. Until now, the residents of the village did not have proper street lights and frequent power failures in the Nagda region make lights powered by electricity unreliable.  The solar lamps contributed by LANXESS are of 18 watt each.
