India, 20th February 2025: As part of its commitment to foster development for children from its adopted communities, Canon India celebrated World CSR Day with the students of Nandrampur Bass in Haryana, the adopted village under its flagship ‘Adopt a Village’ initiative. With the aim to nurture curiosity and creativity among the children of Nandrampur Bass village, Canon organized an interactive digital art session, offering them a hands-on creative experience while fostering engagement with Canon employees. Centered around the theme of “What Makes Me Happy, My School, and My Favorite Place”, the activity paired each employee with two students, guiding them in exploring digital tools to bring their ideas to life.

By engaging these young minds at Canon’s workplace for a day, the activity provided them with a unique opportunity to experience Canon’s environment with meaningful connections, further solidifying Canon’s commitment to community. With youth as the foundation of a nation’s growth, the brand endeavours to provide the young bright minds, right environment and exposure leading to holistic development and inclusivity, leading them towards a brighter, more promising future.”
