Adani Group’s Philanthropic Push: ₹2,000 Crore Committed for 20 Schools Across India

The Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, as per news reports has announced a substantial philanthropic initiative aimed at transforming the education landscape in India. The conglomerate has pledged ₹2,000 crore to construct at least 20 schools across the country. This forms part of the ₹10,000 crore charity commitment made during the wedding of Gautam Adani’s younger son, Jeet Adani, with Diva Shah.

A Broader Social Responsibility Initiative

The latest educational commitment aligns with the group’s ongoing social welfare initiatives. Previously, the Adani Group had allocated ₹6,000 crore towards the construction of hospitals and ₹2,000 crore for skill development. This diversified approach signifies a structured and holistic philanthropic roadmap aimed at enhancing healthcare, education, and employment opportunities in India.

Collaboration with GEMS Education

In an effort to ensure world-class educational standards, the Adani Foundation—the philanthropic arm of the Adani Group—has partnered with GEMS Education, a globally recognised institution in private K-12 education. This collaboration seeks to establish educational institutions with top-tier learning infrastructure that will be accessible to students across various socio-economic backgrounds.

A statement released by the Adani Group highlighted that this partnership would not only focus on school-level education but also on creating research institutions that will contribute towards developing teaching competencies through innovation and skill enhancement.

The First School to Open in 2025

The first institution under this initiative, the Adani GEMS School of Excellence, is expected to commence operations in Lucknow during the 2025–26 academic year. Over the next three years, at least 20 such schools will be set up across India’s major metropolitan cities. Subsequently, the initiative will be expanded to Tier II, III, and IV cities, ensuring a wider reach beyond urban centres.

Philanthropy at the Core of Adani Group

Gautam Adani, currently the second-richest individual in India after Mukesh Ambani with a net worth of $53.9 billion as per the report, has long been associated with large-scale philanthropy. His foundation, through various initiatives, has consistently worked towards socio-economic development, focusing on education, healthcare, and skill development.
