New Delhi: Adani Group Chairman and Founder Gautam Adani on Tuesday launched a new vocational training programme for differently abled individuals along with a cloud kitchen facility in Dhanbad, Jharkhand.
During his visit to the state for the centenary celebration of the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, Adani stopped by Pehla Kadam, a school for differently abled children managed by the Narayani Charitable Trust.
At the school, he inaugurated a food and beverage vocational training centre designed to empower differently abled students with employable skills.
Anita Aggarwal, Director of Pehla Kadam, expressed deep appreciation for Adani’s personal engagement with the children and his commitment to support their needs.
“After witnessing the work we do for Divyang children and understanding our expenses, Gautam Adani has pledged ₹1 crore per year for the next three years,” Aggarwal told IANS.
She added that Adani interacted warmly with every child, calling it a remarkable moment and a proud achievement for the institution.
Earlier, addressing students at IIT Dhanbad, Adani encouraged them to act as “Bharat’s freedom fighters” by contributing to the nation’s economic and resource self-reliance.
“You are the next generation of Bharat’s freedom fighters. You are not just extracting resources, you are extracting sovereignty,” he said, urging them to dream boldly, innovate, and build India’s sovereign capabilities.
