The renewed identity brings the programme’s educational efforts under the unifying belief, “Mazboot Faislon Se Banta Hai Mazboot Bhavishya”, reaffirming commitment to developing stronger futures through education
MUMBAI (India CSR): Marking the occasion of the upcoming Children’s Day, Marico Limited, one of India’s leading FMCG companies, announced a renewed identity for its flagship education-focused CSR initiative, with Nihar Shanti Paathshala Funwala evolving into Nihar Shanti Mazbooti Ki Paathshala. This transition aligns the initiative with the evolving purpose of Nihar Shanti celebrating and empowering women to take strong decisions that help their families and build a better future.
Over the years, the programme has focused on improving foundational learning and educational outcomes among children from underserved communities with a focus on having meaningful impact in society through education. Through its various interventions, the programme has trained more than 1.26 lakh teachers and benefitted approximately 12.69 lakh students through various interventions.

“With the renewed identity, Nihar Shanti Mazbooti Ki Paathshala moves beyond creating moments of fun and engagement to creating meaningful, long-term impact.” – Amit Bhasin, Chief Legal Officer & Group Counsel and Secretary, CSR Committee, Marico Limited
Commenting on the transition, Amit Bhasin, Chief Legal Officer & Group Counsel and Secretary, CSR Committee, Marico Limited said, “Education has the power to strengthen not only a child’s future but also uplift families and communities. Over the years, we have worked to improve learning outcomes and create greater possibilities for children through accessible, high-quality education. Through our focus on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP), we are committed to helping children develop the essential skills, confidence and learning foundation needed to thrive in an evolving world. With the renewed identity, Nihar Shanti Mazbooti Ki Paathshala moves beyond creating moments of fun and engagement to creating meaningful, long-term impact. This move reaffirms our belief that strong educational foundations can help build stronger futures for children, and our societies at large.”
The evolution reflects the belief that good quality education is one of the strongest decisions an individual, family or society can make. By supporting children’s learning and development, Mazbooti Ki Paathshala aims to help build the confidence, capabilities and opportunities required to create a stronger future for India. The transition brings the brand and its CSR platform together under one unifying thought – ‘Mazboot Faislon Se Banta Hai Mazboot Bhavishya’. While the brand celebrates women who make strong decisions, the CSR initiative supports education that empowers children and strengthens their prospects for a stronger future.
With its renewed identity, Nihar Shanti Mazbooti Ki Paathshala will continue to advance its educational efforts while reinforcing the role of strong decisions in shaping a better tomorrow.
