The Adani Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Adani Group, contributed ₹100 crore to the Telangana government to set up a university that imparts skills in industries that require trained youth.
In this regard, a team led by Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani called on Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad on Friday and handed over the donation amount. Overjoyed, the Chief Minister’s office tweeted the moment on X as a reflection of cooperation between the Adani Group and the state government.
The Chief Minister’s office stated that Gautam Adani promised to continue supporting Telangana’s youth empowerment and skill development initiatives.
Young India Skills University, coming up in Hyderabad under the Young India Skills University, Telangana (Public-Private Partnership) Act, 2024, seeks to bridge the gap between what the industry wants and what academia provides.
According to its website, “The model of YISU would be of public-private partnership, and as a matter of fact, a partnership of the State government and industry to ensure that the curriculum is tuned with the market demands.”. This career-oriented skills approach provides students with realistic competencies they will need in today’s workforce, thus setting them on a path to successful careers.
