NOKIA’S CSR PROJECTS DURING 2021 FOR NSN
• Connecting the unconnected: building a more digitally inclusive
India
As a telecommunications technology company, Nokia believes that
connecting the unconnected expands opportunities in many areas
of life and has enormous potential to enable socio-economic
empowerment of individuals and communities.
They agree with the United Nations that access to telecom
connectivity is a fundamental human right because it facilitates the
realization of many other rights, such as the right to education,
healthcare, and infrastructures such as roads, electricity, water, and
sanitation.
As a result, Nokia collaborates globally with governments, non-
governmental organizations (NGOs), customers, and vendors to
advance access for all.
• Environment & education
Nokia is also supporting the Centre of Excellence (CoE) for
Networked Robotics at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the
country's leading institute and university for research and higher
education in science and engineering.
The center will encourage engagement and collaboration among
academia, start-ups, and industry ecosystem partners in use case
research and development.
Nokia's CSR also tends to focus on critical societal issues. These
include keeping the environment clean and allowing disadvantaged
children to participate in mainstream education.
Nokia also partnered with WWF to help with the rejuvenation,
restoration, and conservation of two wetlands near Bengaluru,
Madiwala and Bashetihalli.
• Covid-19 Support
Save the Children, Samridhdhi Trust, WISH Foundation, Vijaya
Medical & Educational Trust, and Swasthi Health Catalyst are
 among the organizations that have extended their COVID support
to Nokia. This year, they have helped us build back stronger in our
fight against COVID-19. They have aided in humanitarian response
during the crisis by providing essentials such as hygiene kits and
food supplies, as well as PPE kits, face masks, and sanitation
materials in our current areas of work. They have also worked with
various hospitals to help them find medical equipment such as
oxygen plants.
