About KEF:
It has been a rewarding eighteen years since we embarked on our mission to equip economically disadvantaged children and youth with education and foundational skills, galvanizing them towards a better future. Our ‘Inch Wide Mile Deep’ approach and homegrown projects focused on quality education for the low-income segment have been instrumental in shaping the success of our projects across India. KEF’s approach is primarily three-pronged—
1. holistic interventions with children and educators in school,
2. equitable scholarships for higher studies, and
3. Vocational education and skills training for livelihood.
Strengthening school leadership and teacher capacity building, creating a digital ecosystem and learning environment in schools, equipping middle school students with confidence and skills of communicative English, upskilling teachers to provide foundational literacy and numeracy skills, and supporting districts in building and running model schools—these are key interventions run by KEF. KEF launched the Kotak Kanya Scholarship in 2021 to offer financial and academic support to meritorious girl students in pursuit of higher education from all over India. The Kotak Junior Scholarship supports meritorious students from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in pursuing 11th and 12th standards. KEF’s Vocational Education & Livelihood Project upskills unemployed youth from economically weaker sections of society and coaches them in domain know-how, the basics of IT and spoken English, life skills, and personality development. It ensures placements for all eligible participants so they can stride with confidence into any professional sphere.
KEF is now on the cusp of change as it prepares for the next chapter in its journey toward empowering the youth with quality education and livelihood. Armed with its vast experience and expertise, the organization now aims to scale its depth as well as the breadth of its reach. KEF’s philosophy is evolving from ‘school as a unit’ to working toward district/state-level education transformation. As KEF expands its ambit, it will help drive systemic reform and state education transformation to create long-term impact at scale. Kotak Education Foundation is the primary implementing agency for the CSR initiatives of Kotak Mahindra Group in education. Kotak Karma is the corporate social responsibility (CSR) identity of Kotak Mahindra Group companies.
