Poornima holds profound spiritual significance in the Hindu calendar, symbolizing peace, prosperity, and selfless service. Aligned with these timeless values, Bikanervala Bangalore embraced the sacred principle of “Annadanam Mahadanam”—the belief that feeding the hungry is the highest form of charity—by serving freshly prepared, nutritious meals to more than 500 underprivileged people.

Nourishing the Body and Soul:

The food distribution drive, which took place between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, saw a joyful turnout of poor women, children & the old. Prioritizing hygiene, quality, and taste, the culinary experts at Bikanervala curated a traditional, wholesome menu that resonated deeply with the values of the company.

The beneficiaries were served a hearty spread consisting of fluffy, golden Puris, a rich and savory Mixed Vegetable Curry, a fragrant Vegetable Pulao accompanied by a refreshing Pachadi and a traditional sweet finale of rich Besan Chakki along with Clean, packaged Drinking Water

Reflecting on the success and emotional impact of the initiative, Mr. Pramod Murarka,  Director of Bikanervala Bangalore, stated:

“At Bikanervala, our relationship with society extends far beyond serving quality food through our outlets. We believe in serving humanity with dignity and care. Poornima is an occasion of gratitude and reflection, making it the perfect time to give back to the community that has always supported us. Witnessing the smiles on the faces of over 500 people today reinforces our belief that when food is served with love, it nourishes not only the body but also the soul. We are deeply grateful to Sri Salasar Balaji Seva Samiti for partnering with us to make this noble endeavor possible.”

Deepening Community Impact

The Annadanam Seva successfully achieved its core objectives of reinforcing Bikanervala’s long-term dedication to social responsibility and fostering a culture of collective kindness. By bridging corporate resources with grassroots community needs, the event significantly bolstered the ongoing social welfare efforts of the Sri Salasar Balaji Seva Samiti.

Both organizations worked in seamless coordination to ensure that the event was conducted smoothly, respecting the dignity of every single beneficiary. This drive marks another milestone in Bikanervala Bangalore’s overarching vision to create a meaningful, positive impact on society, proving that a business truly thrives when it uplifts the community around it.

Bengaluru, 24 June 2026: ACC, along with the Adani Foundation is creating pathways to livelihood and economic independence for persons with disabilities through its Adani Skill Development Centre (ASDC) at its Thondebhavi plant.

For years, Channamma K.S., 36-year-old woman with a physical disability and speech disorder, carried a determination that far exceeded the opportunities available to her. She had worked hard to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree, hoping education would open the door to meaningful employment. Yet despite her qualifications, finding a job proved to be difficult.

At home, Channamma relied on the support of her family. Her father worked as a farmer and her brother earned a living as a daily wage labourer. While they stood by her through every challenge, she wanted the chance to contribute financially and build a life defined by independence.

Her turning point came when she enrolled in the Saksham programme at the Adani Skill Development Centre (ASDC). Over the course of three months, she received training designed to strengthen her employability, workplace readiness and confidence. This programme equipped her with practical skills while helping her navigate the challenges that had previously limited her access to opportunities.

As her capabilities grew, so did her confidence. With the support of the programme and guidance from the ASDC team, Channamma successfully secured employment as a back-end executive in Marathahalli. Today, she earns Rs. 15,000 per month and receives free food and accommodation, providing her with both financial security and professional stability.

Reflecting on her journey, Channamma says, “ASDC gave me the skills and confidence I needed.”

For Channamma, this job along with a steady income is a testament to her resilience, determination and belief in her own potential. Adani Foundation at ACC Thondebhavi, demonstrates how targeted skill development and inclusive opportunities can help individuals overcome barriers and participate more fully in the workforce.
