The Adani family has announced its commitment to donate Rs 60,000 crore
for a range of social works. This announcement has come to mark the
centenary birth anniversary of Shantilal Adani, father of Gautam Adani
and Gautam Adani's 60th birthday. The fund will be managed by the Adani
foundation.
To utilize the potential of India's
demographic advantage, there is an ever growing need to focus on the
areas of healthcare, education, and skill development. The shortfalls in
each of these areas are roadblocks for an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat.'
Gautam
Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group said, "In addition to being the
100th birth anniversary of my inspiring father, this year also happens
to be the year of my 60th birthday and therefore the family decided to
contribute Rs 60,000 crore towards charitable activities related to
healthcare, education, and skill development, especially in the rural
regions of our nation".
Over the years, the Adani Foundation has
responded to society's changing needs in alignment with Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) - be it sustainable livelihoods, health and
nutrition, and education for all or addressing environmental concerns -
with an enhanced focus on the empowerment of women, working with
multiple stakeholders at the grassroots. Today, it covers 3.7 million
people in 2,409 villages across 16 states in India.
