Project Udaan:
Project Udaan is an educational outreach initiative by the Adani Foundation, inspired by
Gautam Adani's childhood experience seeing Kandla Port. It offers students—especially from
government schools—direct exposure to Adani’s large-scale industrial operations at Mundra.
The goal is to ignite entrepreneurial aspirations while aligning with the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goal on Quality Education.
Objective of Visit
The primary objective of the Project Udaan visit to Mundra for college students is to provide them with
meaningful exposure to large-scale industrial operations and real-world applications of their academic
learning. By visiting key Adani Group facilities—such as the Mundra Port, Adani Power thermal plant,
Adani Wilmar manufacturing units, and renewable energy setups—students gain first hand insight into
diverse sectors like logistics, power generation, FMCG production, and sustainability. Additionally, the
exposure fosters entrepreneurial thinking and inspires students to pursue ambitious goals by witnessing
the scale and vision behind global enterprises. The visit emphasizes the importance of sustainability
and corporate responsibility, helping students understand how modern industries are adopting eco-
friendly technologies. Overall, Project Udaan serves as a motivational and educational platform that
encourages holistic growth, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of India's industrial landscape.
Students witness automation, large-scale operations, safety protocols, and logistics first hand.
It sparks awareness about industrial processes, renewable energy, manufacturing, and port operations.
The immersive experience fosters motivation, aspirations, and a broader understanding of modern industry.

Accommodation during the visit is arranged at Shantivihar (Shanti Vihar) Guest House in
Mundra, which offers a peaceful and well-maintained environment for students. The stay

which ensures timely meals, organized schedules, and cultural or recreational activities to

cleanliness, the overall experience at Shantivihar is positive and supportive of the educational
goals of Project Udaan.
