to nurture the Dreams
of a Young India

Most developed countries are driven by a skilled and productive labour force, a result of high-
quality, free and compulsory primary and secondary education. An educated person is an
asset to his nation. Hence, it is imperative to create and provide the right educational
opportunities to the people, especially children. In fact, UN's fourth Sustainable
Development Goal is 'Quality Education'. Focused on fulfilling this goal, we carry out
initiatives to improve educational facilities for as many children as possible. All our education
endeavours are aimed towards growth with goodness to nurture the dreams of a new India.

Mobile Health Care Units

and Rural Health Clinics
Mobile Health Care Units

Mobile Health Care Units (MHCUs) are deployed by the Adani Foundation nationally with
the objective of providing basic healthcare facilities to remote rural areas. These facilities
include diagnostics, medicines, free of cost consultation and referrals by certified doctors.
As a result, patients save money on consultation fees, medicines and travel costs. This also
reduces the possibility of losing livelihood due to lengthy treatments. The MHCU has a
complete set of listed medicines. Its team includes a doctor, pharmacist, social protection
officer and driver. The MHCUs have become a boon for women, young children and elderly
population as they can avail healthcare services at their doorsteps.

The Foundation runs 16 MHCUs that reach out to more than 5 lakh people covering 325
villages, 10 needy urban locations and 7 fisherfolk settlements spread across 9 states.
These MHCUs are operational in Mundra, Bitta and Dahej in Gujarat, Tirora in Maharashtra,
Kawai in Rajasthan, Surguja in Chhattisgarh, Dhamra in Odisha, Udupi in Karnataka, Godda in
Jharkhand, Vizhinjam in Kerala and Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. During the year, nearly
3,24,932 cost-free treatments were provided.

Senior Citizen Health Cards
and Medical Insurance
The areas of Mundra and Kachchh are facing a peculiar situation because the younger
generation migrates to bigger cities for better entrepreneurial prospects and the elders of
the family stay back. As a result, senior citizens often face difficulties in getting treatment
for want of financial, social and moral support. To address this issue, the 'Vadil Swasthya
Yojana', a scheme under which health cards are provided to senior citizens, was started by
the Adani Foundation. The scheme is also extended to senior citizens of marginalised
communities whose family members are living with them but aren't in a position to take care
of the health issues of the elderly.

The main objective is to provide specialised, timely and hassle-free healthcare services
according to the needs of senior citizens. The initiative also encourages them to pay
attention to their health and promotes preventive healthcare practices. After a routine
health check-up, health cards are issued to them. By the end of FY 2017-18, 8,515 health
cards have been provided to the elderly in 65 villages.

Support to poor and needy patients

It is not always possible to predict medical expenses. Moreover, people from poor socio-
economic backgrounds face the risk of becoming indebted for life in case of certain
illnesses. Therefore, the Adani Foundation provides primary health care and financial
assistance for ailments such as kidney related problems, paralysis, cancer and tumour
surgeries, neurological and heart problems, blood pressure, diabetes, etc. In 2017-18, the
Foundation supported more than 700 patients in Mundra, Godda, Udupi and Tirora. These
efforts are over and above the services of MHCUs, Rural Clinics and those rendered by the
GKG Hospital in Bhuj.

De-addiction Campaign and Road Safety Awareness Programmes

The problem of addiction is corroding the core of the society. Other than the addict himself,
it also affects the family members who suffer from social and economic problems. Addiction
increases road accidents, especially bike accidents when people drive under the influence
of alcohol and drugs.

A poster exhibition coupled with awareness programmes on de-addiction were organised at

hospital having an MTC ward for the treatment and care of malnourished children. The
hospital was not able to provide appropriate services to malnourished children due to lack of
equipment and poor condition of the ward. Considering the situation, the Adani Foundation
refurbished the MTC ward and provided equipment support to uplift the quality of medical
services to the children availing treatment. This helped in saving the lives of more than 100
critical children. Today, this ward is projected as a model ward for the hospital and is being
showcased to other hospitals for replication. The work of the Foundation was appreciated

chalking out the roles to be performed by each party.

Awareness Classes on Solid Waste Management

The initial task performed by the

programme had a positive impact. It
ensured the much-desired
participation of the local community.
From this group, a team of 35 active
Awareness Classes on Solid Waste Management, Vizhinjam
members was selected as the Resource
Persons' Team and provided further 'Training of Trainers' and thematic training to facilitate
them in organising systematic citizen-led awareness programmes at the community level.

During the year, 235 awareness classes were effectively organised by the volunteers
in the respective wards. The classes were attended by more than 5,000 community
people. The sessions focused on the importance of waste treatment, various decentralised
modes of waste treatment, the importance of segregation and the need to bring
segregated waste to the Thumboormuzhi site. As a result, the community members are
now well-informed about these aspects. The awareness classes and focus group

prominent locations in the wards of Harbour, Kottappuram and Vizhinjam Market, as
identified by TMC. The Thumboormuzhi aerobin contains rectangular bins enclosed in a
room. The composting unit includes a box-like structure with a ferro-cement floor in which
the waste material is subjected to composting in the presence of oxygen. The garbage is
dumped into a four-feet-high rectangular bin. Inoculm is sprayed on it which hastens the
composting. All this happens in the presence of air, and thus, there is no foul smell which
makes this model more acceptable. The
model was developed by Francis Xavier
of Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences
University.

The Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram

Corporation, Adv. V.K . Prasanth,
inaugurated 21 aerobins installed under
the CSR initiative of AVPPL and the
Adani Foundation, on 11 May 2017 for
better solid waste management of the
Thumboormuzhi Aerobins, Vizhinjam areas. This was done as part of the MoU
signed by the Foundation with TMC. As
per the MoU, AVPPL-AF will install the aerobins, whereas the operation and management of
the bins will be the responsibility of TMC.

Suchitha Installation at Kottappuram

'Suchitha' is the new model of a waste treatment plant. In this plant, organic waste
undergoes a speedy process whereby the bio-waste goes into three types of machines. First,
it goes into a grinder which grinds the bio-waste and then into a mixing machine for thermo-
chemical conversion where some fertilisers innovated by Agri University are added. Later, it
goes into a drier and finally into the packing machine. This plant is the innovation of the
Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Vellayani,
along with a technical innovation group.

Initiatives to Improve Agriculture

Agriculture is the single largest economic sector in India. In spite of this, the average income
per family of those engaged in agricultural activities is estimated to be merely Rs. 6,500 per
month. Hence, the Adani Foundation introduces initiatives for improved cultivation and
encourages the farmers to use innovative techniques as well as form cooperatives. These
initiatives are need-based, participatory in nature and vary from location to location, though
the core strategy of productive agriculture remains the same.

SRI Technique

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an agro-ecological methodology to increase the

productivity of rice by changing management. This methodology is based on the cropping
principles of significantly reducing plant population, improving soil conditions and irrigation
methods for roots and plants as well as development and improvement of plant
establishment methods. Thus, the SRI technique requires less input and more output. On an
average, it increases agricultural production by 33% and reduces farming costs by 32%.

With the objective of promoting organic farming using the SRI method, the Adani
Foundation, in cooperation with the respective Block Agriculture Departments, regularly
conducts training programmes for the farmers. In 2017-18, the Tirora block in Maharashtra
was declared as a drought-prone area by the Government of Maharashtra. But these
conditions had minimum impact on the paddy fields as the SRI technique requires less water
and there is low density of crop in cultivation.
SRI Method, Tirora

In the course of the year, the Adani
Foundation carried out various water
conservation activities that have led to an
increase in water levels in ponds, streams
and field wells. The excess water helped
farmers through the lean period when the
crops cultivated are in grain formation
stage. The SRI technique project was
complimented by two other livelihood
Training to Farmers, Tirora
projects, namely cow-based livelihood
programme and biogas plant initiative which provided organic manure to the farmers.
During the year, the SRI technique has been successfully implemented in 4,381 acres of land
by 2,066 farmers in Tirora. Since the initiation of this technique in 2013, it has benefited
6,364 farmers and covered 11,316 acres of land.

The SRI technique was also introduced in Dhamra (Odisha) during 2016-17. Since then, 79
farmers have adopted this technique covering 172 acres of land. The success of these
farmers will be used to motivate others to take up the SRI technique. Similarly in Surguja
(Chhattisgarh), the SRI technique was introduced to 78 farmers covering 128 acres of land.

Project Annapurna

In Surguja, backward and forward linkages are established with inputs from Krishi Vikas
Kendra to help farmers. Also, linkage has been provided to the rice mills operated by the
women's cooperative at Parsa and Salhi. These activities coupled with the provision of a
platform to farmers for selling produce directly to consumers are carried out under Project
Annapurna.

Buddhiman Singh – A Progressive Farmer

This is a case of a small farmer, Buddhiman Singh of Parsa,

Surguja, whose family was ready to migrate after selling
their ten acres of land. Lack of knowledge about improved
farming and unavailability of agricultural inputs had made
it difficult to earn a decent income. But with the help, of
the Adani Foundation, he became a member of a Farmers'
Club, adopted integrated and improved techniques of
cultivation and doubled his income. Today, he is a
progressive farmer setting examples for others.

Project Vasundhara

Under Project Vasundhara, 20 marginalised farmer households were supported by

transforming ten acres of uncultivable wasteland into productive land. Orchards were
developed on this land using a participatory approach. In Godda (Jharkhand), 1,500 mango
plants were distributed to promote horticulture and orchard development. The people have
taken a keen interest in caring for these plants, and this has resulted in a 90% survival rate.

Animal Husbandry Initiatives for Cattle Owners

Animal husbandry is a significant secondary livelihood among the rural populace. Hence,
the Adani Foundation encourages communities to make it more beneficial. The
Foundation's initiatives in this field have benefited 8,184 cattle owning households from
282 villages across Mundra, Dahej and Hazira (Gujarat), Tirora, Dhamra, Godda, Surguja and
Kawai (Rajasthan). Under these initiatives, 2,500 cattle owners, from 23 villages in Mundra,
get fodder support during difficult times in summer.

Integrated Livestock Centres have been

established at Nimoda and Bamori villages near
Kawai with technical support from J.K. Trust.
Other centres are at Dahej and Barbodhan near
Hazira and two at Khairbodi near Tirora. These
centres get technical support from BAIF in the
form of services like fodder demonstration,
exposure visits and training for cattle owners,
cattle health and vaccination camps, deworming
and infertility treatments, pregnancy diagnosis Animal Husbandry Training

and calf rearing model demonstration, etc.

Biogas

Farmers usually rear cattle along with cultivating

their land. Most of the farmers have at least three
to four cattle in their houses. Apart from milk
production, they generally don't have an efficient
plan to utilise the by-products such as cattle
dung and urine. Also, women of the village have
to toil for fetching fuelwood. This consumes a lot
of time and energy, and it is also harmful to their Smoke-free Cooking with Biogas

health. Biogas is a clean, non-polluting and low-cost fuel. Installation of biogas plants in
rural households provides an easier alternative solution for cooking. Once basic training is
given then they can be easily operated and reduce the hardships of rural women. The
multiple benefits of biogas have changed many lives in the rural areas.

During the year, 11 biogas plants have been constructed in Mundra while 10 more are under
construction. The total cost of constructing a biogas plant is Rs. 33,500 out of which the
government provides Rs. 15,000 under its biogas scheme. In addition to this, the Adani
Foundation contributes a sum of Rs. 10,000 while the rest of the amount is to be borne by
the beneficiary.

In Tirora during 2017-18, the Adani Foundation constructed 22 Pre-fabricated Biogas

Systems in 22 households. Each unit has a capacity of 2 m3. This activity is expected to save
about 5 tonnes of firewood in each household every year. Moreover, it will also reduce
respiratory problems faced by women who use blowpipes to operate traditional Chulhas.
The cost of each unit is Rs. 31,500. The community feels a sense of responsibility and
ownership as it has contributed Rs. 5,000 per household to this project.

mesh, measuring 11”x11”, at
the base of the Chulha. Below
this iron mesh, a trench of
33”x9”x9” is provided for
airflow. Firewood is kept on
Improved Chulha
the cast iron mesh which will
be placed at a distance of 11” from both sides of the trench. In all, 2,044 cast iron meshes
were given to families across 50 villages.

The benefits of the improved Chulha are as follows:

• There is at least 90% reduction in emissions (if the proper quantity of firewood is used)
and nearly 50% of firewood is saved.
• It is cheap and easy to use.
• Reduction in smoke decreases eye irritation and respiratory problems.
• There is no need to use blowpipes which reduces the risk of asthma, lung cancer, TB, low
birth weight and blindness.
• Eco-friendly design ensures that there are no adverse effects on the environment.

Other Initiatives

At Mundra, the Adani Foundation promotes farmers' produce of date fruits through various
market linkages. It also advocates the use of technology in fodder cultivation for livestock by
engaging farmers in a participatory manner. An agriculture development programme was
also carried out in collaboration with Krishi Vikas Kendra in Mundra. These activities, aimed
at village-wise integrated agriculture and allied development for sustaining agriculture and
the socio-economic situation of the farming communities, have benefited 130 farmers.

The Foundation also initiated training programmes at Go Vigyan Anusandhan Kendra, cow-
based livelihood programme, fly ash utilisation programme and the formation of Farmers'
Producer's Company in Tirora.

income generation activities.

In Mundra, 90 members of six SHGs are making non-perishable items like phenyl and
washing powder as well as perishable items like pickles and snacks to support
themselves and their families. An SHG, in Hazira, is running a canteen and earning an annual
income of Rs. 6 lakh. Furthermore, 137 women from more SHGs are undergoing training for
initiating income generation activities. An SHG, named Jageshwar's Shivshakti Mandal in
Dahej, is producing school bags, laptop bags, jute & canvas bags, etc. Its annual income is
Rs. 1.23 lakh.

In Tirora, 52 SHGs have been trained and empowered into becoming self-reliant. Out of
these SHGs, the ones producing Agarbattis earn Rs. 4,500 per month. Other SHGs have been

68
 introduced to lac bangle making and mushroom
cultivation while some have been motivated into
forming Farmers Producers' Company. In all, 30
SHGs are functioning in Surguja out of which 12
are practising stitching & garment making, rice
milling, mushroom farming, Mid Day Meal
management, etc. Their annual income is Rs.
11.67 lakh. The remaining 18 groups are involved
in thrift & credit activities. They have savings
worth Rs. 12.77 lakh and loans worth Rs. 7.37 lakh.
In Dhamra, Matrushakti Group is providing
community cooking utensils on a rental basis
under catering services.

In Vizhinjam, 3,000 young women were made

aware of livelihood training opportunities. Also,
576 women were trained in basic business
strategies and management which included
Matrushakti Group, Dhamra
modules on self-management, cash management,
debt management and leadership and sales strategy. Out of these, 21 groups were formed,
and they zeroed down on their livelihood projects. They were provided help in preparing
business proposals for getting loans from banks. From these groups, nine have taken up
activities like hi-tech cleaning services, running a canteen, raising poultry, distributing
sanitary napkins, making eco-friendly bags, event management, making chips operating a
retail outlet. The remaining groups are on their way to financial empowerment.

Construction of Schools and

Other Education Infrastructure
The Adani Foundation has been instrumental in constructing landmark school buildings for
all the eight Adani run schools. These buildings are also regularly maintained and renovated
if required. The Foundation also undertakes construction and repair work for improving the
infrastructure of various government schools to create a conducive learning environment
for the students. Such work includes construction of additional classrooms, toilets, science
labs, dust-free areas with paver blocks as well as raising the height of boundary walls for the
safety of the students.

Water Conservation Programmes

Water Conservation & Drinking Water-related Projects

Depleted groundwater levels and reduction in water sources have reached alarming levels in
Mundra. Considering the need for conservation of water, the Adani Foundation has
continued with its water conservation activities in the region. It completed construction of a
large number of water harvesting structures, increased conservation capacity and
groundwater recharging activities. It deepened ponds in Bhujpur and Mota Bhadiya villages.
Additionally, canal repairing work across the river at Zarpara village and rejuvenation of the
check dam at Kandagara village were also completed. These efforts have led to a significant
increase in the water table and benefited farmers.

Mota Bhadiya Pond, Mundra (before) Mota Bhadiya Pond, Mundra (after)

In Tirora (Maharashtra), rainwater harvesting and waste water management are two of the
essential issues that need to be addressed to avoid water scarcity problems in the future.
Though Gondiya district is known as the city of lakes, it faces major water scarcity problems.
According to the water management board, 70% rainwater going into the river or other
sources and silting in water bodies are the main reasons due to which water storage in ponds
and streams and level of the water table are severely affected.

Barbaspura Pond, Tirora (before) Barbaspura Pond, Tirora (after)

Due to an inadequate supply of water, farmers are not able to grow crops during the lean
periods. This also hinders farmers from carrying out multi-cropping practices. Though there
is ample amount of rainfall (around 1,000-1,200 mm annually), a shortage of water arises
just before the grain formation stage. This damages the crops. Hence, it was decided to
complete water conservation activities before the onset of monsoon, based on the
topography of existing watershed areas. These activities were as follows:

• Cleaning, deepening and desilting of ponds

• Cleaning, deepening and desilting of streams
• Construction of bunds on streams
• Construction of check dams
• Developing earthen water storage tanks in ponds

Annual Report 2017-18 79

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE

In 2017-18, the Foundation deepened 21 ponds and 19 streams in 24 villages which created
an extra storage capacity of 2,72,795 m3. This work has enriched 307 wells, 148 borewells,
2,886 acres of land and benefited 962 farmers in the areas close to these water bodies.

During the year, the Adani Foundation deepened six ponds in four villages of Godda to
increase their water storage capacity and groundwater levels. More than 650 acres of
agricultural land in eight villages are dependent on these ponds for irrigation. The
Foundation has also completed cleaning of seven ponds. In all, 25 recharge pits have been
constructed near handpumps and wells so that water will soak into the recharge pits and
increase groundwater level. The Foundation also installed four borewells to provide drinking
water facilities at public places like educational institutes and community structures. Also,
76 handpumps were renovated and repaired in the vicinity villages. Furthermore, 11 RO
water kiosks were installed in various institutions and villages.

Impact Study for Water Conservation Projects

The Adani Foundation carried post surveys in two villages where water conservation
projects had been completed in the previous years to measure its impact. The projects and
their details are as follows:

Pond deepening at Vadala

In Vadala village, agriculture is mainly dependent on groundwater sources. About 30% of

agricultural land is irrigated through village facilities while the remaining land is irrigated
through a borewell and open well situated around the Radhan Peer pond on the northern
side of the village. Low storage capacity and seepage had restricted the recharging effect.

After carrying out a preliminary survey of the area and identifying the issues, the Foundation
took up a project to deepen the pond through silt excavation and closed seepages by
erecting an RCC protection wall. The project had been carried out in 2015-16. This resulted
in 3.25 million ft3 increase in storage
capacit y. This increased the
recharging effect and groundwater
was available to the smaller farmers.
The study revealed that incomes of
the farmers within the influence
zone increased by Rs. 15,000. Apart
from improving the socio-economic
status of the farmers, this initiative
also benefited a large number
of villagers practising animal
husbandry.

Check Dam at Mota Bhadiya

The check dam at Mota Bhadiya

village had low storage capacity due
to high silting. After doing a field
survey, the Foundation undertook
the work of desilting the dam in
2016-17. In two years, approximately
21,813 m3 was excavated which
increased the capacity of the check
dam substantially. This resulted in
effective recharging of groundwater,
and the water table became healthy
again. Over 100 acres of agricultural
land, being irrigated through this
check dam, is giving better per acre
yield. Also, 12 tube wells within the
area are providing better quality
drinking water.

Participatory Groundwater Management Programme

This programme is being implemented at the Kankavati sandstone aquifer by Arid

Communities and Technologies (ACT) with multi-partners. The Adani Foundation is
supporting this programme in 10 villages of Mundra taluka in association with ACT, Geo
Science Services (GSS) and Parab Water Management Pvt. Ltd.

The objective of this programme is to reduce the salinity ingress in and around the coastal
regions of Mundra and mitigate the ill-effects of this man-made problem to improve the
livelihood of the rural people. The programme will help to increase the level of the water
table and in agricultural activities.

Stage-wise implementation has been initiated by an advocacy workshop at the block-level

to share experiences of various partners including farmers, village committees, CSR
foundations, researchers, Bhujal Jankars and local experts. One such workshop was
organised on 22 March 2018 by the Foundation, ACT, GSS and Parab Water Management
Pvt. Ltd. in Mundra. The workshop was attended by 107 participants from 29 villages
including ten village partners of the Foundation's project areas, three CSR foundations,

Along with water conservation activities, the Adani Foundation also introduced the concept
of Magic Pit in 24 villages. The Magic Pit has proved to be a boon for drought-prone areas of
Maharashtra. It recharges groundwater levels and also solves sanitation problems within the
village. It is a device that manages waste water at the source and allows its percolation into
the soil. At this point, the soil itself acts as a filter for purification of the waste water. The
Foundation has installed Magic Pits in each household in the villages of Ramatola and
Tikaramtola. In other villages, they are installed at community water sources.

Village Development Projects

To bridge the gap in the villages' infrastructure, the Adani Foundation took up various village
development projects based on the requests made by the communities. The school next to
the Patli railway station did not have boundary wall, proper toilets, classrooms, drinking
water arrangement, etc. Hence, the Foundation constructed and upgraded the required
infrastructure.

SWACHHAGRAHA

The word 'Swachhagraha' has been derived from the

words 'Satyagraha' and 'Swachhata'. In Sanskrit,
'Swachhata' means cleanliness. And, Satyagrahas
were mass movements for passive political resistance
advocated by Mahatma Gandhi that catalysed an
enormous change. They won people's hearts through
patience and perseverance, instilling dignity and
self-respect in their minds. They motivated the people
into making efforts that eventually changed the fate
of the country.

The Swachhagraha project is also perfectly aligned

with the massive campaign of 'Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan', a unique call to action initiated by the Swachhagraha Wall by Students

Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. He has laid emphasis on the fact that it
is not just the government's duty but every citizen's duty to keep our villages and cities clean.

Centre of Environment Education (CEE), a national institution with headquarters in

Ahmedabad, was empanelled as the knowledge & implementation partner of the
Swachhagraha Project in May 2016. CEE works with schools in India, carries out various
school-based initiatives, has domain knowledge, credibility and experience of working in the
area of behaviour change education as well as sanitation and waste management.

SWACHHAGRAHA

Swachhagraha School Intervention

Programme Methodology
Swachhagraha is a student-led project with hand-holding and guidance from
Swachhagraha Preraks. Here, students address cleanliness issues in the school and
transform themselves to become agents of change who will spearhead this mission in their
schools, homes and the society. The entire strategy of this project evolved through a
thorough understanding of how attitudes and behaviours result in issues of littering and
sanitation. Swachhagraha focuses on developing behavioural change among individuals
and communities through a process of self-reflection and self-realisation.

Swachhagraha revolves around four themes, namely Waste Management and Littering,
Personal Hygiene, Toilet Etiquette and Sanitation. When students learn something, they
influence their parents. Hence, the project aims to create student leaders who can
influence the masses and take actions as a part of project-based learning process.
Swachhagraha is open to all schools and the module focuses on Std. 5 to 9, however, all
classes may be involved. Schools, teachers, and students are the key to achieving the
objectives of the programme. Swachhagraha is a continuous process with a vision of an
India where people are habituated to not littering at all.

Project-specific communicative material such as posters, brochures, students' activity

books, etc. have been designed, developed, translated into 11 languages and printed. These
are also available on Swachhagraha websites.

Once schools voluntarily join the project, they strive to be a Swachhagraha Campus
involving all stakeholders, school management, teachers, parents and students.
Swachhagraha Preraks (dedicated teachers) are trained and they, in turn, motivate
students with appropriate attributes to form Swachhagraha Dals and these Dals act as
change agents. They prepare and maintain a Swachhagraha wall through which they share
important information as well as activities that are done for broader dissemination.

Swachhagraha's Agents of Change

Kamala Nehru Girls High School in Patna, Bihar, is

surrounded by a slum, in dirty and unhygienic
conditions. Students had to cross this dirty
settlement to reach the school. With motivation
and support from their Prerak, Mrs. Subhadra
Kumari, Swachhagrahis took it upon themselves to
clean the area. Seeing the little girls in action,
spurred the residents to carry on with the work and
promise to keep the surroundings clean. Thus
through students, Swachhagraha was able to
inspire behavioural change within the community.

Saniya Sunil Kodwate –

Severely Acute Malnourished, SuPoshan, Tirora

At the age of two years and five months, Saniya Sunil

Kodwate was found to be in the Severely Acute
Malnourished (SAM) category. After intervention by a
SuPoshan Sangini, she was finally admitted to the CMTC.
After admission, she showed tremendous improvement
within 15 days. Her mother was also counselled about
healthy food practices and nutrition values. Today, a
healthy Saniya is always smiling.

In addition to the existing 10 locations, SuPoshan was initiated at four new locations,
namely Bitta (Gujarat), Kamuthi (Tamil Nadu), Raigarh (Chhattisgarh) and Jitpur
(Jharkhand). The four new locations are sparsely populated, and this posed a challenge in
community engagement. This issue was resolved by appointing new Sanginis depending
upon their familiarity and coverage of the area. For the implementation of the project, 20
new Sanginis were selected and trained.

Notable Achievements
During the Year:
Inputs
• Sanginis conducted 18,400 focus group discussions and
46,711 family counsellings covering 2.39 lakh women in
the reproductive age group and adolescent girls.
• A total of 1,526 village-level events were successfully
conducted across 309 villages for promoting
participation of the community in the SuPoshan Project.
• In all, 850 women groups and 840 adolescent groups
were catalysed and nurtured for peer group support.
With this SuPoshan has formed a total of 2,894 groups.
• The project provided supplementary nutritious food to
138 Severely Acute Malnourished children in the age
group of 6-60 months for treatment under community
management of malnourishment.
• During the last year, 70,000 Hb screenings were
conducted, and 8,362 cases of anaemia were facilitated
with Iron Folic Acid tablets.
• In order to involve all stakeholders in the journey towards
a SuPoshit Village, 1,844 village events were organised. Sanginis at Work

Vilasben - From Sangini to

Sarpanch and SHG Head, Jageshwar, Dahej

Until she became a SuPoshan Sangini, Vilasben was

unaware of the grass-roots conditions of the village. As
she moved from door to door in the course of her work, she
saw that a lot needed to be done to improve the village.
Hidden leadership qualities spurred her to file a
nomination as a Sarpanch candidate. Her work as a
Sangini enabled her to gain the support of the people and
eventually become the Sarpanch as well as the head of an
SHG. She is thankful to SuPoshan for giving her an identity
as well as opportunity.

118
 Outputs and Outcomes
• Over 1,84,040 women and adolescent girls participated
in focus group discussions.
• In all, 99 Severely Acute Malnourished children in the
age group of 6-60 months were referred to the
Malnourishment Treatment Centre for treatment and
were cured.
• Due to a combination of curative interventions and
change in food habits at the family level, 690 Severely
Acute Malnourished children moved to Moderately
Acute Malnourished status.
• Also, 1,627 Moderately Malnourished children have
moved to a healthy status, purely due to behavioural
change in food habits and hygiene at the family level.
Thus from the beginning of the project, 3,300 children
have been cured of Acute Malnutrition.
• Furthermore, 1,855 cases of anaemia have moved to the
upper level of Hb.
• 285 SuPoshan Vatikas (special kitchen gardens) were
developed.

SuPoshan is supported by Adani Wilmar Limited. Considering the success of

Namda on the Path of Revival

ASDC launched artisan training in Namda - a dying

craft form of the Kachchh district of Gujarat. The
first initiative of its kind, the skill development
training on Namda is aimed at preparing a future
generation of artisans for the historic art form.

Originally innovated by an artisan of the Mughal Era

in the 11th century, Namda was primarily practised by
the Pinjara and Mansuri communities among the Artisan Training in Namda, Kachchh
Sama Muslims native to Kachchh. Without proper
e n c o u ra g e m e n t , m a r ke t i n g a ve n u es a n d
promotion, it suffered a major setback as artisans
gradually switched over to other professions for
earning their livelihood.

The Adani Group has undertaken an initiative to

protect the craft and make it popular and
sustainable. The training programme commenced
with a lot of enthusiasm and expectations among
the trainees committed to bringing back the past
glory of Namda. The best part of this initiative is
that a Namda expert himself will be training future
artisans.

UDAAN

The primary objective, behind organising visits under Project Udaan, is to encourage young
minds to develop an interest in all sorts of enterprises and to encourage them to dream big in
life. The project hopes to inspire students into becoming leading visionaries and
entrepreneurs of the nation. It gives students an opportunity to broaden their horizon in
terms of career possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead. Udaan visits are completely
free for all government schools and colleges and are conducted around the year.

The Beginning of a Dream

At the heart of this project is the inspirational story of nation building icon Shri Gautam Adani,
Chairman of the Adani Group. He visited the Kandla port in Gujarat as a young boy with a mind
full of endless possibilities and eyes riddled with curiosity. He was overwhelmed by the expanse
of the port, the huge ships, tankers by the water and the imposing vessels and containers lining
the harbour. It was here that his dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur was born.

Today, he is pegged as the visionary who is on his way to transforming the entire coastline of
India. And now, he wants to gift this inspirational experience to every child and student in the
country; he is entirely convinced that if a trip to a port could inspire and influence him to such a
great extent, it is bound to have the same profound effect on young, smart minds of the nation.

It has been eight years since this educational initiative was started
by the Adani Foundation in Mundra. Project Udaan keeps marching
from strength to strength. Recently, it crossed the 2 lakh mark at
Mundra in terms of participants. Indeed, the massive numbers
achieved by the project point towards the scale and popularity of
the entire initiative. Since 2010, an utterly impressive 2.5 lakh
students (all over India) and participants, from more than 3,200
institutions, have had the opportunity to take part in Project Udaan.

Students of high school, especially from Std. 9 to 12, are

encouraged to take part in the exposure tours. It is believed that at
this age they would be able to absorb the learning in a better way,
which could help them to shape their lives. Special efforts are taken
to reach out to schools in rural areas. Apart from schools, college
students are also encouraged to visit and get ignited. The
participants are accommodated in modern hostels at Mundra and
provided transport throughout the tour and wholesome meals at all
locations. The information about various on-site operations is
imparted through fun-filled, interactive sessions, with oral and
audio-visual presentations.

 Specially-abled Students Dreaming Big, Ahmedabad

Project Udaan by the Adani Foundation inspires

young minds to dream big. Recently, 75 specially-
abled students from the School of Blind, Ahmedabad,
recently visited Adani Group's Port, Power Plant and
Edible Oil Refinery (Brand Fortune) in Mundra to
understand about the grand scale of operations that
contribute to the growth story of the nation.

In a day and age where education continues to reside mainly within the pages of a school
textbook and the four walls of a classroom, Project Udaan continues to create a difference in
the educational sector by creating experience-based learning. The project keeps the
conveyor belt of India's young dreamers moving from hope to inspiration, and eventually,
from perspiration to success. The culmination of it all, for the Adani Foundation, would be
the discovery of the next brilliant visionary; for the country, however, it would be the
beginning of a new successful chapter.

the residents of the labour colony in the vicinity
of APSEZ. As a part of the Employee
Volunteering Programme, employee families
and company associates from three residential
colonies of the Adani Group distributed warm
clothes among 350 labour families. The clothes
included 150 blankets, 100 sweaters and
jackets along with winter caps and socks. The
warm clothes were donated by employee
families, company associates and residents of

Book Donation

The Adani Foundation gave its employees an

Adani Employees Donating Books opportunity to fuel young minds by organising a
Book Donation Drive in Ahmedabad, Mundra, Dahej and Hazira from 10 to 16 May 2017. The
overwhelming response proved that it is in giving that we receive! Volunteers participated in
large numbers at all locations and donated books and stationery for the needy. The books
ranged from educational textbooks and reference books to value-education and
storybooks. Books were from the Gujarat Board as well as other boards in various languages
including English, Gujarati and Hindi. Sorting was done after the collection drive was over,
and the books were distributed to needy students of schools and skill development centres
across different locations. This drive was one of the first steps taken towards achieving the
Foundation's dream of an educated India.

EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING PROGRAMME

Education Enhancement Programme

The Adani Foundation has taken up the initiative of transforming schools with the support
of employee volunteers especially executive trainees. They give two hours every week for
teaching maths, English and science to the students. Employee volunteers work in four
groups. Each group is assigned to a particular school and is responsible for its
transformation. Currently, 15 employees are working with the students of Std. 5 to 12 in
seven schools. In the span of just one year, the programme has become very successful.

A successful village cleaning campaign was organised by Adani Ports and SEZ Limited
(Baroi, Luni and Sadau), Adani Power Limited (Siracha), Adani Wilmar Limited (Dhrub) and
Mundra Solar Private Limited (Tunda Wandh).

Focusing on the appalling sanitation situation in India and citizens' responsibility in

maintaining cleanliness, the Adani Foundation and Adani Power Maharashtra Limited,
Tirora, merged ‘Swachhagraha' with the ongoing 'Aamche Gaon Swachh Gaon Abhiyan' to
launch cleanliness drives in the nearby villages wherein the staff participated voluntarily.
These drives were usually carried out on Sundays or holidays under the leadership of the
Station Heads, HODs and the Foundation's team. Station Heads lead the teams along with all
HODs and motivate villagers for following good sanitation practices. They address the
audience with an inspirational talk and also appreciate the efforts put in by the villagers
especially children and women who have the potential of becoming agents of change.
