FocusTek Expands CSR Computer Education Centre in Delhi, Deepens Korea-India Community Partnership

New Delhi, July 16, 2026: Korean manufacturing company FocusTek Manufacturing Services Pvt. Ltd. has expanded and reopened a computer education centre in Jai Vihar, Najafgarh, marking a significant step in community-focused cooperation between Korean enterprises and Indian civil-society organisations.

The renovated Computer Learning Classroom and Education Centre, operated by The VIDYA Foundation, will provide children and young people from disadvantaged communities with improved access to computer education, digital literacy and foundational coding skills.

The project was supported through the corporate social responsibility initiative of FocusTek, headed by Managing Director Park Sung-heum. GreatPlanG Edusolution Pvt. Ltd., led by CEO Lee Kyung-A, designed and coordinated the CSR programme, while the New Delhi Global Business Center of the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, or KOSME, participated as a supporting partner.

The initiative brought together a Korean private company, a government-backed business-support organisation, an education solutions provider and an Indian NGO, creating a public-private-community partnership aimed at delivering long-term educational impact.

Expanded classroom to accommodate more learners: The inauguration ceremony was held at The VIDYA Foundation’s Jai Vihar Education Centre during the monsoon season, with students, community members and representatives of the participating Korean and Indian organisations in attendance.

The project involved more than the donation of computers and educational equipment. The existing classroom was physically expanded and renovated so that a larger number of children could study in a comfortable and organised learning environment.

The centre is expected to support sustained instruction in basic computer use, digital literacy, coding and other employability-related skills. The partners said the objective was to create a lasting educational platform rather than undertake a one-time donation exercise.

The VIDYA Foundation works with girls who have dropped out of school, helping them return to formal education through bridge-learning and mentoring programmes. It also provides digital and employability training to deaf youth across Delhi-NCR.

A distinctive feature of the organisation’s model is that several former beneficiaries return as teachers and mentors after completing their education or securing employment. They then support children and young people experiencing challenges similar to those they once faced.

FocusTek chooses education as its CSR priority: FocusTek was established in India in 2007 and operates its production base in IMT Manesar. The company works in printed circuit board assembly and electronics manufacturing services, serving sectors such as automotive components, industrial electronics, aerospace and telecommunications.

After building its manufacturing presence in India, the company began exploring ways to contribute to the community that had supported its growth. It eventually identified education and digital skills as areas in which its CSR intervention could have a long-term impact.

FocusTek Managing Director Park Sung-heum said corporate responsibility should not be treated merely as a charitable contribution but as an investment in the future of society.

“Corporate social responsibility is not a one-time donation; it is an investment in the future,” Park said.

He expressed hope that the children studying at the centre would grow into capable professionals and contribute meaningfully to society.

“I sincerely hope that the children who nurture their dreams here will grow into outstanding members of society and, one day, walk into FocusTek as proud professionals to work alongside us,” he said.

Park also called for the creation of a continuing cycle in which beneficiaries later support others in need.

“More than anything, I hope these children will pass on the kindness they have received to other neighbours in need, creating a virtuous cycle of co-prosperity. This is the true meaning of investing in a sustainable society by planting seeds of hope in the next generation,” he said.

GreatPlanG coordinates CSR strategy and implementation: GreatPlanG Edusolution played a central role in planning and managing the initiative. The company connected FocusTek with The VIDYA Foundation and coordinated the project from initial planning and partner selection to implementation, monitoring and reporting.

The company said Korean small and medium-sized enterprises operating in India often wish to contribute to local communities but may face difficulties identifying credible NGO partners and developing transparent implementation mechanisms.

GreatPlanG positioned the project as a structured model through which Korean companies could align their corporate philosophy with measurable community outcomes.

Its responsibilities included assessing the NGO partner, designing the CSR strategy, coordinating stakeholders, supervising implementation and preparing a framework for post-project impact evaluation.

To complement the computer-learning facilities, GreatPlanG donated 10 sets of unplugged-coding educational tools. These tools introduce children to basic coding principles, logical thinking and computational concepts without requiring them to begin directly on a computer.

The approach is intended to help young learners understand concepts such as sequences, problem-solving and structured thinking before progressing to screen-based programming.

GreatPlanG Director Woo-hyun Ju said CSR initiatives could help companies develop meaningful relationships with the communities in which they operate.

“CSR is not simply an expense; it is a value investment that can establish a company’s brand in the hearts of local people,” Ju said.

He added that GreatPlanG would continue to help Korean SMEs design community programmes in partnership with transparent and reliable Indian NGOs.

“GreatPlanG will continue to serve as a dependable guide for Korean SMEs seeking to design and implement genuine CSR projects with trustworthy local partners,” he said.

KOSME sees CSR as a bridge to local trust: KOSME’s New Delhi Global Business Center joined the project as a cooperation and support partner.

KOSME New Delhi GBC Director Lee Jae-kyung said India’s CSR framework could initially appear challenging to newly entering foreign companies, but it also offered them an opportunity to build trust and strengthen communication with local communities.

“India is among the few countries where corporate social responsibility is mandated by law,” Lee said.

“New companies may initially regard it as a regulatory challenge. However, it can also become a valuable means of building deep trust, communicating closely with local society and creating new business opportunities.”

Lee said the initiative demonstrated how a Korean manufacturing SME could combine commercial growth in India with meaningful social engagement.

“Seeing a Korean manufacturing SME achieve strong growth in India and undertake such meaningful community work is a matter of pride for a business-support institution,” he said.

He added that KOSME would explore opportunities to present the project as a successful model to Korean and Indian stakeholders and encourage more Korean SMEs to undertake locally relevant social initiatives.

“KOSME will continue providing close on-ground support so that more Korean SMEs can establish strong roots in Indian society through meaningful co-prosperity,” Lee said.

Ceremony combines education with cultural warmth: The opening ceremony brought together students, local residents, teachers and representatives of the partner organisations.

Following the ribbon-cutting, students entered the expanded classroom and interacted with the newly installed facilities. Organisers said the children’s enthusiasm reflected the potential of digital education to widen future academic and employment opportunities.

FocusTek also distributed 100 boxes of Orion Choco Pies to students as part of the celebration.

The Korean snack has developed a strong presence in the Indian consumer market and was presented at the ceremony as a symbol of the Korean cultural idea of jeong—a sense of affection, emotional connection and mutual care.

The distribution added an informal and festive dimension to an event otherwise centred on education, technology and corporate-community cooperation.

Partners plan to expand CSR cooperation: The organisations involved said the Jai Vihar project should be viewed as the beginning of broader cooperation rather than an isolated intervention.

GreatPlanG plans to strengthen its collaboration with KOSME and develop customised CSR programmes for Korean companies in areas extending beyond digital education. Potential sectors include health, environmental protection and community development.

The initiative also seeks to demonstrate that meaningful community engagement is not limited to large multinational corporations. Smaller companies can deliver a measurable social impact when their resources are supported by careful planning, credible local partnerships and transparent implementation.

For Korean SMEs operating in India, such projects could help establish stronger community relationships while supporting their long-term integration into the Indian business environment.

The expansion of the Jai Vihar computer centre therefore represents more than an infrastructure upgrade. It reflects an emerging model of Korea-India CSR cooperation in which corporate growth is linked with education, local trust and shared social progress.
