Hyderabad, February 24, 2026: Gemini Edibles and Fats India Ltd, makers of Freedom Healthy Cooking Oils, has extended its decade-long collaboration with Seva Bharathi Telangana to organise the annual ‘Run for a Girl Child’ initiative aimed at supporting the education of girls from economically weaker sections.
To create awareness and encourage participation in the run scheduled for March 1, 2026, at Gachibowli Stadium, a flash mob featuring beneficiary girls was organised in association with philanthropy partner Sattva Knowledge City. The event was hosted at Sattva Knowledge City, an office asset of Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT).
The organisers stated that registrations for the run contribute towards enabling access to education, healthcare and skill development for underprivileged girls. Over the past decade, the initiative has impacted more than 10,000 girls.
Mr. P. Chandra Shekhara Reddy, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Gemini Edibles and Fats India Ltd, said, “A girl’s education has the power to transform families, communities, and ultimately the nation. By supporting girl child education, we are building a stronger, more prosperous India for generations to come. We are happy to be associated with this initiative for a decade. I urge all Hyderabadis to join the ‘Run for a Girl Child’ and be part of this movement—because every step taken in the run helps empower a girl with the education and confidence she deserves.”
Mr. Chetan Pimpalkhute, General Manager – Marketing, Freedom Healthy Cooking Oils, stated, “This campaign reflects our core belief that true progress begins at home with healthy choices and equal opportunities. By combining awareness about heart-healthy cooking and active lifestyle. This activity is designed to inspire action. By linking health awareness with girl child empowerment, we are building a community-driven movement that promotes both personal well-being and national progress. Through ‘Run for a Girl Child,’ we are turning participants into contributors towards a larger social cause.”
Smt. Dr. Sumalatha, Vice President, Seva Bharati, Telangana, said, “We have been working continuously with the partners like Freedom Oil to create more awareness about Run for a Girl Child. This is a unique initiative where a significant portion of the contribution by each runner is used to educate a girl child. Therefore we request more and more people to register and support the education and health of a girl child to make a healthier and better country.”
The upcoming edition aims to expand participation and continue support for girls’ education through community engagement.
