· India · NDTV
Priti Adani, chairperson of the Adani Foundation, said philanthropy must move beyond running programmes and instead build long-term capacity for women. Speaking at a gathering, Dr Adani said independence for millions of women is "the freedom of choice, the freedom of opportunity and the freedom of upward mobility." The Adani Foundation has been expanding its women-focused initiatives, including skills training, self-help groups, and rural entrepreneurship programmes across multiple Indian states. The remarks come as the foundation scales up its rural and social-development footprint alongside the Adani Group's broader expansion.
