Vedanta Aluminium transforms educational infrastructure in Odisha’s Sundargarh, benefiting over 750 students

Bhubaneswar, November 4, 2024 (TBB Bureau): In a significant move to uplift educational standards and foster a brighter future for Odisha’s youth, Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has enhanced the infrastructure of 14 government schools and seven Anganwadi centers in the tribal-dominated Jamkani coal block area of Sundargarh. This initiative is set to impact over 750 students by providing essential school furniture and resources.

As part of this community development effort, Vedanta Aluminium distributed desks, benches, chairs, tables, racks, and almirahs to schools across Mundhelkhet, Codajalanga, Bhograkachar, Ghogharpalli, Jamkani, and Girisma villages. A handover ceremony was held, attended by the headmasters of the beneficiary schools, local community members, and the president of the Block Teachers’ Association.

Expressing gratitude, Bhawani Shankar Pradhan, a teacher at Bhogarakachhar Upper Primary School, said, “We are deeply thankful to Vedanta for their generous support. The new infrastructure has transformed our classrooms, creating a more conducive learning environment for the students.”

Echoing this sentiment, Block Teachers’ Association President Ramlal Patel said, “The improved infrastructure not only benefits the students by enhancing their focus but also reflects Vedanta’s commitment to supporting education and community growth.”

Beyond educational support, Vedanta’s initiatives extend to healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, rural infrastructure, and grassroots sports and culture in Odisha. The company also runs a mobile health unit offering free medical check-ups and healthcare awareness in rural areas, showcasing its dedication to improving lives both within and beyond its operational regions.

Through close collaboration with local authorities, welfare organizations, and community stakeholders, Vedanta Aluminium is driving meaningful socio-economic transformation in Odisha, reinforcing its commitment to a brighter, empowered future for the state’s youth.
