    AMBUJANAGAR (GUJARAT):
    Ambuja Cements, the 9th largest building materials solutions provider globally and part of the diversified Adani Portfolio, enabled a new livelihood opportunity for women in the Kodinar region by facilitating the handover of e-autos to 10 women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs) on the occasion of International Women’s Day at Ambujanagar.

    As part of the initiative, the women associated with Sorath Mahila Vikas Sahakari Mandali and local SHGs underwent two months of specialised training in e-auto driving at the Skill and Entrepreneurship Development Institute (SEDI) Ambujanagar. The training programme focused on equipping participants with the skills and confidence required to operate e-autos safely and efficiently.

    Following the training, the women purchased the e-autos with extended load support from Sorath Mahila Vikas Sahakari Mandali. The vehicles were formally handed over during a programme where Ambuja Cements officials encouraged the women to embark on their self-employment journey.

    The trained women will operate the e-autos in and around Kodinar, providing transportation services for local passengers as well as school-going children, thereby contributing to safer and more accessible mobility in rural areas. This initiative reflects Ambuja Cements’ commitment to strengthening women’s empowerment and sustainable livelihoods by enabling skill development and income-generating opportunities for women in rural communities.
