With initiatives spanning across 6,769 villages in 19 states, the Adani Foundation's efforts have touched the lives of 9.1 million individuals.
In a keynote address at the 32nd annual general meeting of Adani Group shareholders, Chairman Gautam Adani underscored the transformative impact of the Adani Foundation, the conglomerate's corporate social responsibility arm.
Covering 6,769 villages across 19 states, the foundation's initiatives have positively affected the lives of 91 lakh individuals, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to societal advancement.
"Each statistic represents a story of change, empowerment, and community development," remarked Adani, emphasizing the human-centered approach that guides the foundation's diverse programs. This philosophy drives a range of initiatives aimed at addressing critical needs in various sectors.
A notable flagship program is the Adani Saksham skill development initiative, which has equipped over one lakh young individuals with essential skills, paving the way for brighter futures and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Healthcare remains a cornerstone of the foundation's outreach efforts, with mobile healthcare units and health camps reaching 20 lakh individuals in remote communities lacking access to basic medical services. These initiatives focus on long-term well-being through awareness and preventive care.
The SuPoshan project, targeting malnutrition and anaemia among women and children, has reached over 4 lakh beneficiaries, aiming to strengthen health foundations and promote community development for future generations.
Chairman Adani also shared a personal anecdote about his wife, Priti Adani, who chairs the Adani Foundation. "Every evening, Priti shares with me a story of someone whose life has been touched by our initiatives," he revealed. "These stories are both humbling and inspiring, reinforcing our commitment to making a meaningful impact."
The Adani Foundation's efforts underpin the group's broader commitment to social responsibility, reflecting its dedication to creating positive change across communities in India.
