Newz Daddy Educational Updates

Bodeli: Silvin Additives, a leading manufacturer of high-performance additives for the PVC and CPVC industries, inaugurated the newly modernised library at Sheth HH Shirolawala High School in Bodeli on Saturday, 11th October. Silvin Additives is well known in its field, offering the lead-free SUPER1PACK additive for pipes and fittings, and aims for ₹1,000 crore in turnover by 2030. The modernised library shows the company’s belief that business and community development can go hand in hand.

The library was inaugurated by Pradip Chokshi, Founder of Silvin Additives, in the presence of the school’s trustee Bhavesh Shirolawala, teachers, students, and local leaders. When the founder himself visits, it adds weight and intention. Trustees and leaders help ensure support, and the presence of students and teachers reminds us who the real users are. The modernised library now feels like a shared dream, not just a donation.

Mr Chokshi’s vision for community betterment continues to drive Silvin Additives’ corporate social responsibility efforts. His presence symbolised the start of a renewed mission to provide students and teachers with improved access to knowledge and opportunities. In Gujarat and across India, more firms now embrace CSR. By funding education, Silvin strengthens ties with people who may someday work with, or benefit from, the company. The modernised library is one visible step of many in their CSR journey.

Equipped with a diverse collection of books, the library aims to inspire curiosity and creativity among students. A special collection of Gujarati books underscores Silvin’s dedication to preserving linguistic and cultural heritage in an increasingly digital era, encouraging students to value reading while embracing modern learning tools. The modernised library offers both story books, science books, reference volumes, and local history. Having Gujarati sections means students see their culture respected. Paired with computers or e-reading tools, this space can become a bridge between tradition and modern learning.

The upgraded facility will benefit more than 2,000 students and 100 teachers, providing a productive environment that enhances academic performance and nurtures lifelong learning. Within the modernised library, children can quietly read after class, prepare for exams, or explore new topics they wouldn’t otherwise see. Teachers can use it for planning, cross-checking facts, or guiding small reading groups. Over time, school performance, book reading habits, and self-confidence may rise.

Bodeli holds special significance for Silvin Additives. It is not only the birthplace of founder Pradip Chokshi, but also where MD Jagat Chokshi and Joint MD Mirang Chokshi spent their formative years. Moreover, Bodeli is home to the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. These factors have made Bodeli the focal point of Silvin’s CSR agenda. Because it’s “home soil,” the company’s investments carry emotional value and stronger accountability. That’s why the modernised library was chosen here first.

Through initiatives such as this, Silvin Additives reaffirms its belief that true progress lies in nurturing both knowledge and heritage. The modernised library is a proof point: it’s not just bricks or books, but a statement that ideas, roots, and future all matter. If more firms embrace this balance, small towns, too, can grow with pride.

Silvin Additives is well known in the PVC / CPVC industry. It markets a product called SUPER1PACK, an all-in-one, lead-free additive solution for PVC / CPVC pipes and fittings. The company has ambitious growth plans. It aims to reach ₹1,000 crore in turnover by 2030. Silvin is based in Gujarat, India, and has research and manufacturing facilities there. The library was inaugurated by Pradip Chokshi, Founder of Silvin Additives, in the presence of the school’s trustee Bhavesh Shirolawala, teachers, students, and local leaders.

Pradip Chokshi’s role as founder carries symbolic weight. Founders often bring vision, and this kind of public event reinforces their commitment to local development. Having trustees like Bhavesh Shirolawala attend shows community involvement, meaning the school’s leadership supports such projects. The presence of teachers and students makes the event more meaningful they are the actual users of the library.

Many industries in Gujarat, especially chemical and manufacturing, increasingly adopt CSR (corporate social responsibility) as a part of their strategy. For Silvin, focusing on education strengthens their bond with the local community and builds goodwill. This event can act as a model for similar efforts in other villages or towns.

Local language books (Gujarati) help students connect more deeply with stories, history, culture, and heritage. When students see their language represented, they feel pride and belonging. Coupling printed books with digital tools (e-resources, tablets, online access) is a modern educational trend. A diverse collection means covering topics beyond textbooks, fiction, science, arts, local history, and biographies.

The upgraded facility will benefit more than 2,000 students and 100 teachers, providing a productive environment that enhances academic performance and nurtures lifelong learning. A quiet, well-lit, comfortable reading space can boost concentration and study habits. Access to good books supports remedial learning, enrichment, and self-study. Teachers can use the library for reference, lesson preparation, and reading time with students. Over time, it may raise exam performance, reading culture, and overall school ranking.

Bodeli holds special significance for Silvin Additives. It is not only the birthplace of founder Pradip Chokshi, but also where MD Jagat Chokshi and Joint MD Mirang Chokshi spent their formative years. Moreover, Bodeli is home to the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. These factors have made Bodeli the focal point of Silvin’s CSR agenda.

The personal connection gives emotional weight to the project; it’s “home town giving back.”The manufacturing facility in Bodeli means many locals may have direct or indirect ties with Silvin, whether as employees, contractors, or neighbours. When a company invests in its own area, it signals long-term commitment. Through initiatives such as this, Silvin Additives reaffirms its belief that true progress lies in nurturing both knowledge and heritage. CSR in education is sustainable; people carry the benefits long after the event is done. Emphasising heritage alongside modern learning shows balance: progress doesn’t mean losing roots. Such acts may inspire other companies or individuals to support local schools, libraries, or cultural projects.
