Shalimar Paints Reinforces Community Commitment with School Transformation Initiative

India, 3rd August 2026: Shalimar Paints, a pioneer in the Indian paint industry for over 120 years, has revitalised Nashik’s Madhyamika Ashram School as a part of welfare activity towards the society. Shalimar Paints, through this initiative, has transformed the school into a cleaner, brighter, more hygienic, and better learning environment, for over 380 students. Undertaken in response to the school‘s weathered infrastructure, the initiative sought to restore its learning spaces and create a healthier, more welcoming environment for students. 

 

As part of the initiative, Shalimar Paints enabled a complete repaint of the school’s premises, including its classrooms, corridors, hostel facilities, and other common areas. The restoration was carried out using Shalimar Hero and Zero Damp range of products, helping refresh the campus while improving its overall hygiene and appearance.   

 

Prior to this, the school had shown signs of degradation, making the restoration of its premises essential to creating a healthier and more welcoming environment for its students. Today, the refreshed campus stands brighter and more vibrant, offering a renewed sense of pride and a more conducive setting for learning. This initiative, in the process, has improved the lives of over 380 boys and girls while benefiting countless others who will study at the institution in the years to come by restoring its hygienic conditions. 

 

Commenting on the initiative, Mr Kuldip Raina, MD & CEO, Shalimar Paints, said, “Our responsibility as a company has always extended beyond the buildings we protect to the communities those buildings serve. Every child deserves to learn in a space that feels safe, dignified, and worthy of their ambition. Through this initiative, we wanted to create an environment where students can take pride in their surroundings and where the value of hygiene and well-maintained infrastructure is felt every single day. We hope this transformation contributes meaningfully to their learning experience and reflects the kind of social commitment we intend to sustain.” 

 

The initiative reflects Shalimar Paints‘ broader belief that its expertise in protection and transformation can serve a purpose well beyond commercial application, particularly in spaces that directly shape the quality of life for underserved communities. 

 

By partnering with institutions and through sustained CSR activities, Shalimar Paints aims to help create a stronger people-centric impact in society and build stronger, healthier, and more inclusive foundations.
