Education
Access to quality education is not merely a privilege but a fundamental right for every child, regardless of their background. Recognizing this, the Adani Foundation has dedicated itself to providing quality education. It is supporting the Government's efforts with a focus on inclusivity and holistic development. The Foundation has been instrumental in shaping the lives of thousands of children across the nation through 36 schools, project Utthan for improving learning outcomes in government schools, and Udaan for offering large-scale insights to young minds, enabling them to dream big.
Education Initiatives
Adani Vidya Mandir
Adani Vidya Mandir, as the name suggests, is an endeavour to design the 'ideal temples of learning' - for those children who are blessed with talents but face economic disadvantages. Our schools at Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Bhadreshwar (Gujarat), Surguja (Chhattisgarh), and Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) stand for the Adani Foundation’s commitment towards the underprivileged sections of the society. These schools provide the students a system that is the perfect blend of modern technology and traditional values. Here, the quest for knowledge takes a holistic route. From the morning assemblies to weekly club activities, creativity and expression find many canvases and platforms under one roof.
