Donation to be utilized in healthcare, education, and skill development
On the year of the centenary birth anniversary of Gautam Adani's father
Shri Shantilal Adani, and Gautam Adani's own 60th birthday, the Adani Family
has committed a donation of Rs 60,000 crore to a range of social causes. This
corpus will be administered 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.' The Adani Foundation has gained rich experience in
working with communities focused on integrated development efforts across all
these areas. Addressing these challenges can significantly enhance the
competence and competitiveness of the future workforce.
"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 crores towards charitable activities
related to healthcare, education, and skill development, especially in the
rural regions of our nation," said Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. "At
a very fundamental level, programs related to all these three areas should be
seen holistically and they collectively form the drivers to build an equitable
and future-ready India. Our experience in large project planning and execution
and the learnings from the work done by the Adani Foundation will help us
uniquely accelerate these programs. This contribution from the Adani Family
intends to draw upon some of the brightest minds that have a passion to make a
difference in the Adani Foundation's journey to do more towards fulfilling our
'Growth with Goodness' philosophy."
On this occasion, Mr. Azim Premji, Chairman of Azim Premji Foundation and
Founder Chairman of Wipro Limited and widely recognized as one of the greatest
philanthropists of our times said, "Gautam Adani and his family's commitment
towards philanthropy should set an example that we can all try to live Mahatma
Gandhi's principle of Trusteeship of Wealth at the peak of our business success
and need not wait for our sunset years." He further added "The challenges and
possibilities of our country demand that we work together as one, cutting
across all divides of wealth, region, religion, caste, and more. I wish Gautam
Adani and his Foundation the very best in this important national endeavor."
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.
