Telangana Rejects Adani’s ₹100 Crore Donation for Skills University

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy cites ongoing controversies and concerns over public perception as reasons for refusing the corporate contribution.

The Telangana government has declined a ₹100 crore donation from the Adani Group for the Young India Skills University, citing concerns about controversies surrounding the company.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy stated that accepting the funds could create unnecessary discussions and potentially harm the state government's image.
The refusal follows allegations from the U.S. Department of Justice accusing Adani Group of bribing Indian officials for solar energy contracts, which the company has denied as baseless.
A letter from Telangana's Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan was sent to Adani Foundation Chairperson Priti Adani, requesting that the funds not be transferred.
The Telangana government emphasized that no funds from any organization, including Adani Group, have been accepted for the university project to date.
