Alongside educational support, Adani Foundation also organised a 15-day Environment Protection Fortnight across its 16 adopted villages. During this campaign, over 5,000 students were provided with 15,000 fruit-bearing saplings for plantation in their homes and courtyards. In Moora, the concluding ceremony saw 400 students receiving two saplings each, followed by a community plantation drive led by senior officials — Mr. Sudhakar Tandon (Chief Business Officer, APL-Raipur), Mr. G. Muralidharan (Project Head), and Mr. Gopal Singh Devora (Zonal Head, APL MP & Chhattisgarh).
The programme also featured cultural performances, including Saraswati Vandana, Chhattisgarhi folk dance, and traditional songs, which were highly appreciated by the dignitaries present.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sudhakar Tandon said, “Education and sports are both essential to give wings to the dreams of rural children. With dedication and hard work, you all can achieve success.”
Mr. G. Muralidharan highlighted the value of sports, saying, “Sports teach us discipline, patience, and team spirit. A balance of academics and games is the key to success in life.”
