Adani Foundation Chairperson highlights role of access, skills and entrepreneurship in driving women-led development at national conference<\/em><\/h4>\n

TFP Bureau, New Delhi, February 28,2026: Emphasising that women are central to India\u2019s journey toward becoming a developed nation by 2047, Priti Adani<\/strong>, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation<\/strong>, said women must be recognised as the true architects of the country\u2019s transformation and growth.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the \u201cEmpowered Women, Developed India\u201d conference organised by Chintan Research Foundation<\/strong>, she underlined that policy intent must translate into sustained economic participation for women across sectors. Welcoming Union Minister for Women and Child Development Annapurna Devi<\/strong>, she praised ongoing government efforts to promote women-led development and called for collective institutional action to remove structural barriers.\"\"<\/p>\n

Drawing from field experiences, Dr. Adani said empowerment begins with access \u2014 particularly access to information, technology and markets. In rural regions where formal education levels remain limited, she noted that simple agricultural mobile applications introduced through Foundation initiatives have enabled women farmers to obtain real-time guidance on irrigation, fertiliser use, seed selection and market prices. This, she said, has improved crop yields, strengthened incomes and boosted confidence among rural women.<\/p>\n

Highlighting livelihood initiatives, she pointed to the growing success of women-led dairy collectives. More than 3,500 women are currently associated with self-help group\u2013based milk collection centres supported by the Foundation, collectively handling over 7.5 million litres of milk annually. Transparent pricing systems, quality testing and structured procurement processes, she said, have improved income stability and enhanced bargaining power for these women.<\/p>\n

She also spoke about flagship health and livelihood programmes designed to address grassroots challenges. Under the \u201cSuposhan\u201d initiative, trained local women volunteers have helped improve the health of more than 325,000 women of reproductive age. Another programme, \u201cSwabhimaan,\u201d has provided sustainable employment opportunities to over 4,500 women across 300 self-help groups. Such initiatives, she stressed, demonstrate that empowerment is not charity but a structured process of expanding access to skills, finance, leadership and markets.\"\"<\/p>\n

Referring to the Union Budget\u2019s recently announced \u201cSelf-Help Entrepreneurs\u201d initiative, Dr. Adani described it as a significant policy step that could help women transition from microcredit beneficiaries to independent entrepreneurs with access to growth capital. She said the move aligns with the Foundation\u2019s philosophy of accelerating women\u2019s economic advancement and leadership.<\/p>\n

Panel discussions at the conference focused on entrepreneurship, governance and rural leadership, reinforcing the view that women\u2019s participation in the economy is essential for long-term national prosperity. Concluding her address, Dr. Adani urged institutions, industries and policymakers to prioritise removal of systemic barriers and expand opportunities across education, training and enterprise ecosystems.<\/p>\n

She ended with a call for collective action and confidence in women\u2019s potential, stating that the next phase of India\u2019s growth will be powered by women leading in classrooms, workplaces, village enterprises and digital marketplaces, adding, \u201cLet her lead, she will make her own way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
