Education and Science

Encouraging the pursuit of learning
While the world saw and applauded the Oscar winning movie, The Slumdog Millionaire, not many give a serious thought to uplift the children on street who dream of opportunities and grab them when offered. Swayya India works with street children and provide them with various opportunities to look at life from different angles. One such opportunity exploration led to Canon donating cameras to children who captured the reality of their lives. These photos were exhibited in Canon Image Lounge and gave them a new platform.

There are few in this world who are fearless and selfless to risk their lives to save lives of others. Every year, children who have risked their lives to save others are rewarded by Government of India on Republic Day where they are felicitated by the Prime Minister of India. Canon salutes such acts of bravery and appreciates them in a formal ceremony where they are felicitated, given Canon cameras as a token of appreciation and momento along with gift of vision by eye screening camp led by our CEO Kensaku Konishi. Some of them are rewarded posthumously with their parents attending the ceremony on their behalf.
