CSR Activities

At Ryan, we believe in the spirit of equality, empathy, tolerance and care for others. We believe in the importance of our future generations understanding different cultures and societies, to experience other realities, in order to raise awareness and empathy. These social skills will be very important towards shaping the future of modern India. Ryan International Group schools undertake various social projects, based on six parameters, to transform society in a positive way. These parameters are: compassion, environment, education, healthcare, economic empowerment, and local leadership development.

Guinness World Record - Ryan Group

Guinness World Record

The Ryan International Group of Institutions lays a strong emphasis on developing holistic individuals and ensures that all its students from their early years and throughout their schooling are nurtured with good values, morals and ethics. The Group has undertaken several remarkable charity initiatives in support of society reaching out to the underprivileged, poor and needy and also to inculcate a sense of social responsibility amongst the students.

It's truly a proud moment when recently Ryan Group’s school in Sharjah, UAE was recognised by the Guinness World Records for their outstanding achievement of participating in the world’s largest charity donation towards the poor. It was the vision of Dr. A. F. Pinto, Chairman and Madam Grace Pinto, MD of the Ryan Group that encouraged the students to successfully collect 295,122 items of clothes which after certification from the concerned authorities stood as the largest collection.

While speaking on this achievement, Madam Grace Pinto said, “We are grateful for the vision our Lord Jesus Christ has given us to nurture responsible and value laden citizens of this world. We will continue our efforts of imbibing strong humane values among every student.”

Food Bucket Challenge - Ryan Group

Food Bucket Challenge

In yet another unique initiative, the Ryan Group launched the Ryan Schools Food Bucket Challenge at St Lawrence School, Kandivli. The group aims to mobilise over one million kilograms of food (mainly cereals like rice, wheat, jowar and foods like sugar, onions, potatoes etc.) and distribute it to various orphanages and NGOs across the country. This is aimed to be a nationwide program and the group hopes that in addition to its stakeholders – students, parents, staff and others, the general public will also join in to support the needy.

The program is also intended to make their students sensitive to the issues around them and be alive to the situation of the less fortunate. Such activities feature regularly in Ryan schools across the country, as the group strongly focuses on inculcating the importance of social responsibility amongst the students and the stakeholders helping them develop an attitude of selfless service. The Bible says, “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.”

Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Grace Pinto, MD, Ryan International Group of Institutions said, “This challenge initiative has been launched to bring awareness that within each lies the potential and the will to bring the change we'd like to see. There is nothing we cannot accomplish if we work collectively to make a difference! Our target is to bring a million smiles. Through this effort we encourage our students to become agents of change in society bringing God’s love to the poor and needy.”

Philanthropy as one of the vision points of our Chairman, Ryan Schools ensure to inculcate values and social responsibility among students. Teaching the value of ‘Giving’ to the children is crucial and important in a world where children are constantly bombarded with the concepts of 'want' and 'greed' being regarded as the norm.

The Ryan group encourages children to learn their social responsibility and become agents of significant constructive change in the society bringing God’s love to those in genuine need. As part of their “Joy of Giving” activity students along with their teachers visit NGOs, orphanages, blind homes, and homes for the elderly where students interact with the inmates and also donate stationery, toiletries, food grains/items as a contribution to meet their requirements.​

Over the years, the Group’s efforts in association with HelpAge India in helping senior citizens live a life of dignity, and be economically and physically secured, have always been greatly applauded. ​ ​Ryan International Schools have shown keen interest to protect the rights of India’s elderly ​and been felicitated with the Samson Daniel Award 2015, 2018 and 2019!

Mahipalpur Community Transformation - Ryan Group

Mahipalpur Community Transformation

The Mahipalpur Project is a community transformation initiative taken up by Ryan Vasant Kunj with a vision to empower the suburban area in vasant kunj towards spheres like Education, Environment, Health and Economic enhancement. An initiative which was actively envisioned by our Chairman Dr. A F. Pinto who believes that when the young set their minds on a mission there is no stopping them. Once the vision to make a difference in society was set and the neighboring area of Mahipalpur was identified an Action Plan was devised with the help of the Local Panchayat, community representatives and members of the school. Through a survey, niche concerns were identified which were as follows

  • Health and sanitation
  • Educational and vocational support
  • Improving the condition of the girl child

Every year intensive action is taken in one area of concern starting with Cleaning and Greening of the surroundings. The young brigade of our school collected funds and along with the residents attempted to cover the open drains which were creating severe unhygienic conditions and were playing havoc with their health. More than a thousand saplings were also planted to improve the barren landscape and also provide better conditions. Health camps were also organized with the help of our doctor parents and free medicines and blankets were distributed to help the community sustain the bitter winter months.

The next year our student volunteers undertook their mission for improving the condition of the girl child. Education on Wheels was started living up to the maxim that when the children cannot come to school then the school should go to the children. Student volunteers tutored the children in a bus which was parked in the locality and Maths and Science along with basic life skills were taught. Once the confidence was established senior students attended classes in school after regular school hours for which class 12 students and the school staff volunteered. Indigenously prepared sanitary napkins were distributed regularly and street plays were organized to convey messages relating to the girl child. Workshops were held on alcohol abuse and various social evils effectively. Children also prepared healthy snacks for their young friends to develop the concept of balanced diet.

A Tailoring school was also started to empower the women and develop self- reliance. Their handiwork was sold in no time during the School Open House. Developing a sense of community social responsibility creates qualities of empathy and good citizenship amongst school going children and prepares them in becoming better individuals. The young community transformers are ready to share their experiences through ongoing social sansitization projects in the society.
