MUMBAI (India CSR): Jaro Education, a publicly listed edtech company and a leading name in online higher education, has contributed ₹51 lakh toward supporting an affordable healthcare initiative in Patna, implemented through Khan Foundation, as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts to improve access to essential services under its ‘Shiksha se Seva tak’ approach.
The initiative aims to address a persistent gap in access to affordable medical care for underserved communities in and around Patna, where rising out-of-pocket healthcare expenses continue to limit timely access to treatment.
The contribution will support infrastructure and service delivery, including consultations, diagnostic services, and essential treatments at highly subsidized costs, with a focus on improving accessibility for economically vulnerable populations.
Speaking on the development, Ranjita Raman, CEO of Jaro Education, said: “Patna represents an important and growing market, not just from an education standpoint but also in terms of broader community needs. As we expand our presence in the region, it is equally important for us to contribute meaningfully to the communities we engage with. Supporting access to affordable healthcare is a step in that direction.”
Founder & CMD of Jaro Education, Dr. Sanjay Salunkhe added: “Education and healthcare are two fundamental pillars of long-term social progress. While our core work focuses on education, we recognize that access to healthcare remains an immediate challenge for many. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting solutions that create real, on-ground impact.”
The healthcare effort is associated with educator Khan Sir, widely known for his work in democratizing access to education at scale. He has also previously completed a professional programme delivered in collaboration with Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad through Jaro Education.
Commenting on the initiative,Khan Sir said: “Affordable healthcare remains one of the most critical needs in our country today. This initiative has been designed to ensure that access to basic medical care is not limited by financial constraints. We appreciate Jaro Education’s support in strengthening this effort and enabling us to reach more people in need.”
Khan Foundation, which is registered for undertaking CSR activities, serves as the implementing entity for the project, with the initiative in Patna continuing to be supported by Jaro Education as part of its broader effort to enable access to essential services.
