The “Love to Learn initiative” by MBD has taken great momentum, putting our latest learning solution Aasoka into the economically needy schools, and on the auspicious occasion of the 39th anniversary of MBD house, we have further adopted more schools.

"We, MBDians, are proud to celebrate the 39th anniversary of MBD House, carrying forward the values of Malhotra Ji. Malhotra Ji always wanted an MBD product for each literate person, and there couldn’t be a better way to celebrate than by expanding our Love to Learn Initiative by MBD to celebrate the anniversary. I am also overwhelmed by our teams' efforts to celebrate this auspicious day with children who need us the most, a smile on their faces, is a true celebration. Besides this, the plantation drive is also very close to our hearts, as clean air is the best gift we can give to us and the next generation” – Mrs.
