New Delhi, Aug 29, 2024: ACC along with the Adani Foundation has constructed a 300-metre cement concrete road in Yelubenchi village in Karnataka’s Bellary district, ensuring reliable all-weather connectivity for over 4,000 villagers.
The road, built with a budget of Rs 15 lakh, has transformed the lives of 4,050 residents at Yelubenchi. Previously, the community faced challenges such as accessing educational institutions, and transporting agricultural produce, particularly during heavy rains, when the muddy road would become practically unusable. With the successful completion of the road, residents are now able to transport their produce to markets without disruption, students reach school on time, and all the residents, including children, women, and the elderly, have reliable access to medical services.
Among the many villagers who have benefitted from this development, Pallavi C shares her appreciation, saying: "I am an agricultural labourer, and a member of a self-help group (SHG) supported by the Adani Foundation. During the rainy season, the previous road used to become so muddy and slippery that it would be quite difficult to get to work. Now, with the new CC road, I can reach work without any hindrances, easing my daily commute and the quality of my day-to-day life."
ACC Limited, a subsidiary of Ambuja Cements, is one of India’s leading producers of cement and ready-mix concrete. It is a member of the diversified Adani Group - the largest and fastest-growing portfolio of diversified sustainable businesses. ACC has 20 cement manufacturing sites, over 82 concrete plants and a nationwide network of channel partners to serve its customers.
