Adani Foundation Chairperson Priti Adani Conferred With Honorary Degree
Adani Foundation Chairperson Priti Adani was conferred with an honorary degree at the 16th Ceremonial Convocation of Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education & Research (deemed to be a University) in Maharashtra. As the guest of honour at the event, Dr Adani was recognised for her exceptional contributions to social welfare and education. An honorary degree, or 'honoris causa' (Latin), is a prestigious award presented to individuals for their significant achievements in fields such as public service, arts, and science, without having to complete any academic coursework. Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin, AVSM, VSM, Director General of the Armed Forces Medical Services, was the chief guest at the event. The recognition comes after Priti Adani's previous honour from the Gujarat Law Society University in 2020. She was awarded an honorary doctorate for her contributions to education and corporate social responsibility at the time. Priti Adani holds a Bachelor's of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree from Government Dental College, Ahmedabad. In 1986, she got married to Gautam Adani. In 1996, Priti Adani founded the Adani Foundation with a vision to bridge the gap between urban and rural India. As the leader of the Adani Foundation, Dr Adani has successfully guided the organisation since its inception. It started as a rural initiative in Mundra, Gujarat, and has now grown into one of the world's most influential non-governmental organisations in the field of community welfare. One of the Foundation's recent initiatives involved a three-day soap-making training programme in Kawai, Rajasthan. This programme, which benefited women from 15 villages, aimed to equip participants with skills in production, pricing, and marketing. She has nearly 650 development professionals under her leadership. Earlier, the Adani Foundation honoured more than 1,000 women, known as ' Lakhpati Didis ', ahead of International Women's Day on March 8. The Foundation also celebrated the contribution of over 614 women working at Adani Solar, including technical associates and engineers.
