The Study Lamps for Students with dual charging by solar power and electricity were handed to around 90 top students of TCF School Qayyumabad in a ceremony where CEO of KESC Tabish Gauhar was present along with TCF Chairman. Mushtaq Chhapra.
In his speech, Gauhar said this was the first step of the project initiated by KESC, under which the power utility would be providing solar lamps to all secondary high academic achievers in eight campuses of the TCF. Under its Social Investment Plan (SIP), KESC has already been providing free of cost electricity to all these purpose-built schools run by TCF with an approximate enrollment of 52,000 students in Karachi mostly coming from low income families.
Mushtaq Chhpara Chairman of TCF thanked KESC and termed the gift of lamp as a friend to our students from KESC.
With the solar-charged lamp, which has a battery life of 6 hours, students would have an alternate source of carbon free light for studying. KESC s objective through this project is to provide extended study hours to students giving them an opportunity to enhance their academic performance.
