In a statement issued by the Adani Group, the company elaborated more on the massive donation.
“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 our future workforce,” the statement read.
Gautam Adani is at the eighth spot on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. He is the richest person in Asia at present with a net worth of $91.7 billion.
