The initiative began in 2022–23 with 151 SHG members from 11 villages, who received hands-on training and exposure to scientific turmeric cultivation methods. The SHGs selected the Salem variety and cultivated 4 acres using 20 quintals of seed material. With best practices such as raised-bed planting, organic manuring, and mulching, the women achieved a 3.7x increase in yield, generating over ₹2.66 lakh in their first season.

Encouraged by the success, 261 SHG women expanded turmeric cultivation to 8 acres in 2023–24. A seed bank was established to facilitate the sale and purchase of quality seeds within the community. That year, SHG members produced 10,100 kg of turmeric, generating a total market value of around ₹5.05 lakh.

In 2024–25, 313 SHG women participated in turmeric production, with improved access to organic inputs and technical guidance. Together, they now hold over 3,100 kg of turmeric seeds, including 2,100 kg earmarked for sale to support new entrants and strengthen the local value chain, with approximately 7,500 kg turmeric used for household purpose.

As a member of the Kamal Self Help Group (SHG) under Ambuja Cements’ women empowerment programme, Poonam was introduced to a tailoring and stitching course at SEDI Darlaghat.

Bengaluru, 4 November 2025: Ambuja Cements, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, has long been committed to nurturing stories of resilience through its CSR programmes. One such story is that of Tara Devi, a determined mother from Banjan village in Himachal Pradesh. When she joined a Self-Help Group in 2020, her goal was simple yet profound: to build financial security for her family. Over time, she stepped into a leadership role within her Federation, guiding other women to find their confidence and independence.

Her elder son, Gaurav, achieved a remarkable milestone in 2025 by clearing NEET with the 31st rank in the state. But the joy of his success came with a heavy burden—the steep cost of medical education. Feeling the weight of this challenge, Tara shared her struggle at a Federation meeting. In an inspiring show of solidarity, the women collectively extended an interest-free loan of ₹1 lakh, enabling Gaurav to chase his dream of becoming a doctor. They also pledged to support other SHG families facing similar hurdles, reinforcing the power of women-led communities.

This story is more than just a success for one family; it is a testament to what women can achieve when given support, guidance, and opportunities. Through SHGs, financial literacy programmes, and leadership development, Ambuja Cements continues to empower women like Tara, creating ripples of hope and progress across communities.

·         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, 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.
