India’s leading industrialist, Gautam Adani, has taken over a well-known high school in western Maha-rashtra state that Carmelite nuns ran for over five decades. Adani Founda-tion, the charity arm of the billionaire with business interests from apples to aviation, took over the management of Mount Carmel Convent Senior Secondary School in Cement Nagar in Chandrapur district from the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel (CMC) in September, a CMC nun told on October 1. Since 1972, the CMC nuns have managed the school, owned by India’s leading cement maker, Associated Cement Company (ACC), which Adani Group acquired from Switzerland-based Holcim in 2022. The ACC built the school with its funds for Corporate Social Respon-sibility and entrusted the management to the nuns.
