Bright smiles, colourful drawings and an atmosphere filled with excitement marked a truly heartwarming day as over 80 children from the Nanum Community Learning Centre (CLC) visited the Samsung Head Office for their Graduation Ceremony. Celebrating the spirit of the International Day of Happiness, the event reflected the joy of learning and the promise of brighter futures with children from underserved communities, who are attending school for the very first time.

The day was filled with curiosity, laughter and a sense of pride as the young graduates stepped into a new phase of their educational journey.

When Happiness Takes Shape Through Creativity

To celebrate the theme of happiness, the children prepared beautiful drawings capturing what brings them joy — family, school, friends, nature and dreams for the future. Each drawing was a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the support they have received.

The children presented these handmade cards to the leading donors of the Nanum Kiosk as a thank-you gesture. Their creativity reflected warmth, sincerity and appreciation, turning simple drawings into meaningful symbols of connection.

School-Ready for the Journey Ahead

Supporting their continued education, the children received thoughtfully prepared school-ready kits from the leading donors of the Nanum Kiosk. The kits included school bags, stationery, pencil boxes and water bottles — essential tools that will accompany them as they continue to learn, grow and explore new possibilities.

Holding their new school bags with excitement, the children radiated pride and confidence. These kits represent more than supplies; they reflect encouragement, belief and a shared commitment to their futures.

Words that Inspire Confidence and Dreams

Samsung leaders shared heartfelt words of encouragement, motivating the children to continue learning with curiosity and confidence.

“I am very happy to meet all of you. You all must study well, but also dream big. We are here to support you,” said President & CEO, JB Park while speaking to students in Hindi.

His message encouraged the children to pursue education while continuing to dream big, reassuring them that they are supported at every step.

Jeehyun Yoon, Head of Part, Global CSR, who travelled from Korea to be part of the celebration, shared her appreciation for the effort and creativity reflected in the children’s drawings. She thanked the children for being part of the Nanum initiative and expressed how proud Samsung is of their creativity.

A Celebration of Hope and Possibility

The visit left the children inspired and energised, giving them a glimpse into a world of opportunities that education can help unlock. Their excitement was evident as they explored the space, interacted with teams and celebrated together.

The Nanum Graduation Ceremony beautifully captured the essence of happiness — not just as a feeling, but as an opportunity to learn, dream and move forward with confidence. Through initiatives like Nanum, Samsung continues to nurture young aspirations, empowering children to believe in their potential and take confident steps towards their future.

Because when children are supported, encouraged and celebrated, happiness becomes a shared journey — one that grows stronger with every opportunity to learn.

Strengthening its community engagement in Tamil Nadu’s key manufacturing corridor, Samsung India today announced a new skill development initiative for women in the Sriperumbudur region, aimed at enhancing livelihood opportunities and supporting local economic participation.

Samsung has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bal Raksha Bharat (Save the Children, India) to roll out a structured vocational training programme for 200 women from Santhavellore and Sirumangadu villages in Kanchipuram district.

The 12-week programme, scheduled between April and September 2026, will provide hands-on training in professional tailoring, followed by government-recognised certification. Participants will also receive sewing machines upon completion, enabling them to pursue income-generating opportunities and micro-entrepreneurship.

“Tamil Nadu has consistently been a leader in industrial development and skill creation. At Samsung, we are proud to contribute to this vision by enabling women in the Sriperumbudur region with skills that can drive self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Our focus is on creating long-term, sustainable impact at the grassroots, aligned with the state’s broader goals of inclusive economic growth,” said SH Yoon, President, Samsung Chennai Plant.

The programme is part of Samsung’s broader CSR commitment in India and reflects its continued focus on inclusive development in regions where it operates. Sriperumbudur, one of Tamil Nadu’s fastest-growing industrial hubs, has seen significant transformation over the years, and initiatives like these aim to ensure that local communities benefit from this growth.

By investing in grassroots skilling and women’s empowerment, Samsung is contributing to Tamil Nadu’s broader vision of inclusive industrial development and strengthening the socio-economic fabric of communities around its manufacturing ecosystem. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.

A place of celebration for courage, hope, and new beginnings

On a bright afternoon filled with smiles, laughter, and a heartfelt welcome song, Bal Raksha Bharat, an NGO in Gurugram, turned into a place of celebration for courage, hope, and new beginnings.

In collaboration with Bal Raksha Bharat (Save the Children), this unique CSR program aims to send 200 children back into classrooms and toward a brighter future. As part of Samsung’s Nanum Kiosk initiative, employees have been quietly tapping into a powerful cause. Each tap of their ID cards at the Nanum Kiosk is a gesture of support for underprivileged children, helping them find their way back to school.

The Nanum Kiosk is an innovative donation platform installed across Samsung offices.  Employees can contribute by simply tapping their ID cards, with each tap donating a fixed amount (e.g. INR 50) to support underprivileged children.  These kiosks have been instrumental in raising substantial funds for supporting underprivileged children.

Samsung hosted a special recognition ceremony for young achievers—children who, after completing a bridge course by Bal Raksha Bharat, have now secured admission in public schools. These children were felicitated with certificates and warm wishes for their new academic journeys.

SP Chun, Corporate Vice President, Samsung Southwest Asia, addressed the gathering with heartfelt encouragement, reminding everyone present of the power of education and community. He handed over certificates to all children and interacted with them.

“Samsung wants you to read more, learn more and dream more. We are always here to support your dreams and cheer for you,” he said in his address.

All smiles with the certificates

Adding joy and soul to the ceremony was a musical performance by the children. Their voices echoed through the premises, resonating with the spirit of resilience and determination.

As the first batch of children stepped forward for their certificates and photo-op with the Samsung leadership, the room brimmed with quiet pride. The second batch followed, beaming with excitement. The event ended on a touching note with a Thank You Card Ceremony, where children distributed handmade notes to express their gratitude.

Through the Nanum Kiosk initiative, Samsung employees are not just donating money—they’re nurturing futures. Each child sent back to school is a story of possibility, made real by shared compassion and purpose.

This day was a reminder that when people come together to care, incredible change can happen. And for these children, the journey is just the beginning.
