Hyderabad, Oct 18 In a bid to create a lasting legacy that will uplift generations to come, the Adani Foundation on Friday announced a donation of Rs 100 crore towards the establishment of the Young India Skills University in Telangana.

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, met state Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy here, along with a delegation from the Adani Foundation, and presented a cheque of Rs 100 crore for Young India Skills University.

"Privileged to contribute to the transformative vision and inspiring leadership of @TelanganaCMO Revanth Reddy with the Young India Skills University initiative," Gautam Adani posted on X.

“Together, we are not just shaping the future of our youth - we are unlocking the boundless potential for a brighter, more prosperous India. Here's to creating a lasting legacy that will uplift generations to come,” the Adani Group Chairman added.

Reddy announced in the state Assembly on August 1 that Adani Logistics will be one of the industry partners for the Young India Skills University.

The Assembly passed the Young India Skill University Telangana (Public-Private Partnership) Bill-2024, to establish a university that will equip students with skills to meet the industry demand.
