“”Adani Foundation: Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future through Education”

At the crossroads of corporate success and social responsibility, the Adani Group, under the visionary leadership of Gautam Adani and Priti Adani, has embarked on a transformative journey to bring quality education to the forefront. The “Adani for Children Education” initiative emerges as a guiding light, closing the gap between urban and rural education and shaping a promising future for the underprivileged.

As the philanthropic arm of the Adani Group, the Adani Foundation plays a pivotal role in reshaping the educational landscape of India. Through a diverse array of initiatives, it addresses the myriad challenges faced by underprivileged children, aiming to provide equal opportunities for quality education and create a lasting impact.

Situated in Mundra, Gujarat, Adani Public School stands tall as a symbol of the Group’s commitment to academic excellence. Being the first school in the Kutch and Saurashtra region to receive NABET Accreditation, it exemplifies a dedication to quality standards and a holistic approach to learning. The school not only imparts knowledge but also instils values that extend beyond textbooks, nurturing well-rounded individuals.

The Adani Vidya Mandir initiative reflects the Group’s commitment to creating ‘ideal temples of learning.’ With establishments in Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Bhadreshwar (Gujarat), Surguja (Chhattisgarh), and Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), this initiative seamlessly blends modern technology with traditional values, fostering a holistic approach to education.

In Vizhinjam, Kerala, the Adani Foundation breathed new life into the Mulloor Upper Primary School. Driven by the belief that education is the key to a life of dignity and equality, the Foundation, in collaboration with local authorities, revitalized the ailing school. The newly constructed two-storey building now accommodates 168 students, showcasing the Foundation’s commitment to providing quality infrastructure for effective learning.

Under the CSR initiative ‘Uththan,’ the Adani Foundation, in collaboration with Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited, celebrated World Yoga Day in BMC schools. Impacting over two thousand students, the project focused on providing joyful education, including activities like street plays, drawing competitions, and yoga sessions, fostering environmental awareness and holistic development.

Established at MPP School in Dibbapalem, the Adani Evening Education Centre (AEEC) at Adani Gangavaram Port serves as a lifeline for over 200 students in its first year. This CSR effort, in collaboration with the Adani Foundation, employs participatory learning methodologies to enhance academic performance and provides a second chance for those who dropped out due to personal or economic reasons. The success of the AEEC has paved the way for its expansion to five communities across two sites. The upcoming center at ZPH School in Gangavaram village signifies Adani Gangavaram Port’s commitment to providing valuable skills to children, aligning seamlessly with the Adani Group’s core principles of community development through education and skill enhancement.

In an era where technology is a game-changer, the Adani Foundation’s Gyanodaya initiative collaborates with the Godda District Administration and Eckovation Pvt Ltd to bring cutting-edge interactive curricula to rural students. Smart classrooms ensure that students in remote areas have access to quality education, breaking geographical barriers and fostering a more inclusive learning environment.

Project Utthan focuses on improving foundational literacy and numeracy in government primary schools. Through the deployment of Utthan Sahayaks, the project celebrates the progress of learners and contributes to the holistic development of schools. Emphasizing the importance of joyful learning environments and the provision of essential resources, Utthan aims to create a student-friendly atmosphere.

In collaboration with the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), the Adani Foundation inaugurated the Adani-KISS Residential School in Baripada, Odisha. Inaugurated by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, this initiative underscores the Adani Group’s commitment to providing free education to children . Equipped with modern facilities, including a 50-bedded hospital, the school serves as a haven for orphaned children, offering them a chance at a brighter future.

In the face of tragedy, Gautam Adani, the visionary behind the Adani Group, demonstrated a personal commitment to making a difference. His pledge to provide free school education to children who lost parents in the Odisha train accident highlights the Group’s understanding of the joint responsibility we all share to support victims and ensure a better tomorrow for the affected children.

The Adani Foundation’s commitment to education transcends the realm of corporate social responsibility; it is a deeply ingrained belief in the transformative power of learning. Under the visionary leadership of Gautam Adani and Priti Adani, the Foundation’s multifaceted efforts have become a catalyst for change, shaping the educational narrative in India. As they strive to nurture young minds for a brighter and more equitable future, the Adani Group’s impact on the lives of underprivileged children resonates far beyond the confines of classrooms. Gautam Adani’s personal dedication, coupled with the Adani Group’s corporate responsibility, showcases a holistic approach to education – one that empowers young minds, bridges gaps, and paves the way for a brighter future. The Foundation’s efforts go beyond traditional boundaries, embracing technology, participatory learning, and community collaboration to create a lasting impact on the educational landscape. In every initiative, the Adani Foundation illuminates paths to a brighter future, ensuring that no child is left behind in the pursuit of knowledge and empowerment.
