In the heart of a remote tribal hamlet in Gulitand village, Jharkhand where access to basic healthcare often feels like a distant dream, ACC—part of the diversified Adani Portfolio and India’s fastest-growing building materials powerhouse—is scripting stories of hope and renewal through its robust grassroots interventions.

Community outreach efforts by ACC, in tandem with the Adani Foundation, have spotlighted the silent scourge of preventable blindness plaguing vulnerable families. Among those touched by this lifeline is 59-year-old Bhamuni Devi, whose world had faded into shadows due to untreated cataracts.

Enter the unsung hero: a trained community volunteer, or “Sangini,” who became Bhamuni’s bridge to salvation. With unwavering support, the volunteer guided her through the process of securing an Ayushman Bharat card under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), India’s flagship health assurance scheme. This paved the way for seamless connection to an empanelled hospital, where free cataract surgery awaited—treatment that was once an insurmountable barrier for her modest means.

The procedure proved a resounding success, shattering the veil of darkness that had confined Bhamuni. Today, she navigates her daily chores with renewed vigor, from tending to her home to cherishing moments with loved ones. This transformation isn’t just about restored vision; it’s a profound reclaiming of confidence, self-reliance, and dignity.

ACC’s commitment to such ACC healthcare outreach underscores a broader mission: bridging healthcare gaps in underserved corners of India. By empowering local volunteers and leveraging government schemes like PM-JAY, the initiative is not merely treating ailments but fostering resilient communities. As Bhamuni’s story illustrates, every intervention ripples outward, illuminating paths to a healthier, more equitable future.
