·         Solar irrigation systems enable uninterrupted farming on 15+ acres, saving ₹30,000 per farmer per season.

·         Solar water pumps ensure clean drinking water access for 150 families, improving health and reducing daily hardship.

Bengaluru, 20 August 2025:  ACC, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, along with the Adani Foundation, has implemented solar-powered irrigation and water systems across the Gram Panchayat of Chhatatand and nearby villages in Sindri, Jharkhand.

These clean energy interventions are helping small farmers reduce irrigation costs, boost productivity, and are also ensuring safe drinking water access for more than 150 families in the region.

Until recently, erratic electricity and rising diesel prices made farming unreliable, while daily access to clean water remained a major challenge for many households. To address this, ACC installed 5 HP solar irrigation pumps across 15 acres of farmland in Chhatatand and Samlapur, enabling low-cost, uninterrupted irrigation.

At the same time, six 2 HP solar drinking water systems were installed across five villages, including Simatand, Kushberia and Jamadoba Basti. The systems pump water into overhead tanks, offering families a sustainable and safe source of drinking water close to home.

By integrating renewable energy into rural infrastructure, ACC and the Adani Foundation are advancing long-term self-reliance, improved health outcomes, and climate-friendly livelihoods in Jharkhand’s Sindri region.

Bengaluru, 13 August 2025: ACC, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, along with the Adani Foundation, is fostering economic inclusion in villages like Samlapur through livelihood opportunities for rural women. By supporting self-help groups (SHGs), with income-generating resources, the initiative is empowering homemakers to become contributors to household income and decision-making.

One such example is Manju Kumari, a 30-year-old mother of two with a strong desire to support her children’s education. In 2024, her SHG, Ma Jagdamba ASM, received a paper plate-making machine through support from the Foundation. Though new to entrepreneurship, Manju quickly learned to operate the machine and manage production with other members. The unit now earns around Rs. 10,000 a month, with Manju taking home a share of Rs. 2,000.

This additional income enabled her to enrol her children in Jharkhand Public School, a reputed CBSE-affiliated institution—an important step toward ensuring them a brighter future. Manju’s story reflects the quiet but powerful shift that can occur when women are given the tools and trust to pursue their aspirations.

·         The initiative helped reduce contamination and promote hygienic washing practices

·         The intervention led to improved water quality and health outcomes in the community

Bengaluru, 30 July 2025: ACC, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, along with the Adani Foundation, is helping improve rural hygiene and public health through the construction of washing platforms in Chhatatand Gram Panchayat of Baliapur block. In villages where open washing near ponds once led to contamination and health risks, the initiative has brought structure, safety and behavioural change.

ACC and the Adani Foundation facilitated the construction of platforms at three high usage ponds in Chhatatand, Simatand and Kushberia villages. These platforms were equipped with drainage systems to ensure wastewater does not flow back into the main water body. Built using durable local materials and with community inputs, especially from women, the platforms offer cleaner, stable surfaces for washing clothes and utensils.

The results have been encouraging. Local health workers reported fewer cases of skin infections and water borne illnesses. Residents, particularly women, have adopted the platforms for daily chores, noting reduced physical strain and cleaner surroundings. Children and youth are also being sensitised toward hygienic practices.

This initiative highlights how ACC is enhancing village infrastructure to promote long term public health. By supporting simple yet impactful solutions rooted in community needs, the company is contributing to a cleaner, healthier rural environment through practical, people focused interventions.
