NEW DELHI: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on April 2 and offered prayers to Ram Lalla and sought blessings. He later visited Shri Nishulk Gurukul Mahavidyalaya for an institutional interaction.
He was accompanied by his wife Priti Adani, son Karan Adani and daughter-in-law Paridhi Adani. Adani’s visit to the Ram Mandir coincides with the Hanuman Jayanti celebrations — the day marking the birth of Lord Hanuman.
Speaking to the media about Ram Lalla ‘darshan’, Adani said, “My family and I had the opportunity to visit the magnificent Shri Ram Mandir. It is a deeply emotional and proud moment for us. This temple is not just a centre of faith, but also a symbol of India’s culture, unity, and self-confidence.” Later, Adani interacted with students and faculty of the gurukul and observed a learning environment where discipline, inquiry and values come together to preserve and transmit India’s civilisational knowledge systems.
“When learning is rooted in values, it does not just shape individuals, it shapes the future of a nation. Our responsibility is to carry these traditions forward while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow,” he said. He emphasised the urgency of preserving India’s knowledge systems even as the country accelerates into an AI-driven future. He affirmed that the Adani Foundation, the social welfare and development arm of the Adani Group, will support the gurukul ecosystem by enabling a convergence of tradition and technology through an AI-enabled laboratory.
With around 200 students, the gurukul offers free education, ensuring that knowledge remains accessible and inclusive. The campus also includes a gaushala, a traditional cow shelter, reflecting the integration of cultural, ecological and rural practices within the learning environment. The institution carries a rich legacy, with Mahatma Gandhi and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose among its early visitors.
