Ahmedabad: The Adani Education initiative by the Adani Foundation has collaborated with GEMS Education, a global leader in private K-12 education, to establish temples of education across the country. With an initial donation of INR 2,000 Cr from the Adani family, this Adani Education partnership will prioritize making world-class education and learning infrastructure affordable to people from all strata of society. The Foundation is the CSR arm of the Adani Group – India’s largest infrastructure portfolio.
In line with Chairman Gautam Adani’s social philosophy, सेवा साधना है, सेवा प्रार्थना है और सेवा ही परमात्मा है, the Adani Education mission will also give rise to best-in-class research institutions focused on developing teaching competencies supported by innovation and capability development.
The first ‘Adani GEMS School of Excellence’ under the Adani Education program will come up in Lucknow in the academic year 2025-26. Over the next three years, at least 20 such schools in the K-12 segment will be rolled out across India’s primary metropolitan cities and later expanded to Tier II to IV cities. Through this Adani Education initiative, 30% seats in CBSE curriculum will be free for underserved and deserving children. Leveraging the Adani Group’s pan-Indian presence and GEMS’ global expertise, the model aims to deliver scalable, affordable, and sustainable quality education.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to making world-class education affordable and widely accessible,” said Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group. “Through Adani Education and global collaboration with GEMS Education, we aim to equip the next generation of change-makers to become socially responsible leaders in India.”
“Our vision has always been to make quality education accessible to every learner,” said Sunny Varkey, Founder & Chairman of GEMS Education. “The collaboration with the Adani Foundation strengthens the Adani Education vision, enabling us to expand our reach and deliver global educational excellence across India.”
The collaboration believes that transforming a nation requires strong investment in youth development. This Adani Education collaboration will help build a highly skilled, value-driven talent pool. The Adani-GEMS schools will benefit from a global curriculum integrated with the best of Indian education systems.
