Diva & Jeet Adani Celebrate First Wedding Anniversary with Divyang Women

• Announced on 5 February 2025, Adani Mangal Seva reflects Diva and Jeet Adani’s  decision to turn their wedding celebrations into a pledge of social security for  divyang women. 
• In its first year, the initiative fulfilled its commitment to support 500 divyang  women, each with ₹10 lakh Fixed Deposit, to ensure monthly income and long-term  financial stability. 
• Anchored by the Adani Foundation and inspired by Gautam Adani’s philosophy of  Seva Hi Saadhna Hai, Adani Mangal Seva places dignity, continuity and  

empowerment at the heart of philanthropy. 

 Thursday evening marked a moment of reflection, continuity and  fulfilment on the Belvedere Club lawns in Shantigram, as Adani Mangal Seva completed one year  since its inception. The occasion echoed a choice made by Diva and Jeet Adani, ahead of their  wedding on 7 February 2025, to let purpose guide a personal milestone, anchoring celebrations in  service. More than a commemorative moment, the gathering affirmed that a commitment made  quietly had been fully honoured. 

What began as a personal pledge has grown into a structured social security programme, providing  500 divyang women each year with dignity, stability and assurance. 

Anchored by the Adani Foundation, the social welfare and development arm of the Adani Group,  Adani Mangal Seva supports divyang women aged 25 to 40, identified by project partner Youth for  Jobs and holding Unique Disability ID (UDID) cards.  

Under the Adani Mangal Seva initiative, each beneficiary receives a ₹10 lakh Fixed Deposit, created  in partnership with State Bank of India (SBI) as the banking partner. The structure provides assured  monthly income, with access to the principal amount after 10 years, ensuring long-term financial  stability and security. 

The commitment is structured to span at least five years, supporting up to 500 divyang women  annually, with an annual allocation of ₹50 crore to sustain the initiative and its long-term impact. 

The philosophy guiding Adani Mangal Seva draws from Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani’s  belief that ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’, the idea that service must be continuous, disciplined and rooted  in responsibility rather than symbolism. This personal philosophy shaped the initiative’s design and  execution, transforming a family milestone into a sustained social commitment. 

The evening unfolded with quiet purpose and inclusivity. Beneficiaries and their families arrived in  organised groups, supported by volunteers to ensure comfort and familiarity. The program began  with prayer and reflection, followed by a presentation reaffirming the central belief of Adani Mangal  Seva, that prosperity finds meaning only when it creates lasting opportunity for others.

A defining moment of the evening was the distribution of Fixed Deposit certificates. Cultural  performances by the Blind People’s Association of Ahmedabad, including a Garba presentation and  a fusion music performance, added warmth and emotional resonance, underscoring participation  and dignity. 

Gautam Adani’s post on X marked the joyous occasion. He wrote, “Jeet and Diva complete one year  of their married life today. On this joyful occasion, my heartfelt blessings and warm wishes are with  them. On this very day last year, they took the pledge of Mangal Seva. It was a quiet but powerful  resolution to support 500 newly married Divyang daughters every year, with financial assistance of  ₹10 lakh for each daughter. To see this promise continue with the same sincerity, discipline and  sense of responsibility fills my heart with profound gratitude and inner peace. 

With time, this effort has touched many families, offering them not just financial security, but the  dignity of a fresh beginning and the courage to look ahead with hope. I must say, the moment a  daughter’s life regains its smile and self-belief brings a fulfilment so deep that even the greatest  achievements and material success in the world feel insignificant in comparison. 

As a doting father, I feel truly blessed that my children are choosing to carry their personal  happiness into the lives of many families, adding hope, reassurance and quiet strength where it is  needed most. I pray to the Almighty that this spirit of service continues to bring happiness, dignity  and renewed hope into countless lives and that Jeet and Diva remain steadfast on this path of  compassion, purpose and seva.” 

Addressing the gathering, Dr Priti Adani, Chairperson, Adani Foundation, reflected, “Today’s  gathering is deeply moving and a source of immense pride for me. We have come together not  merely for an event, but to honour human dignity, hope, dreams and empowerment. The inspiration  behind Adani Mangal Seva was born from a simple yet profound thought, that personal joy finds its  highest meaning when it is shared for collective well-being.  

When life blesses us with moments of happiness, extending that happiness to society is true  service. That is why Adani Mangal Seva is deeply personal to me. This is not just a program. It is an  emotion. It is a belief that every woman carries extraordinary strength within her. Being differently  abled is not a limitation. It is the ability to see life with resilience, courage and a different  perspective. Every dear sister, who is sitting here, is a living testament to that strength.” 

Speaking earlier, Jeet Adani said, “Mangal seva has taught us that sometimes the greatest support  is the one that stays quietly in the background – steady, dependable and respectful. For us, this is  not something we complete and move on from. It is a responsibility we carry forward.” 

Diva Adani added, “Adani Mangal Seva is built on belief. Belief that security should last. Belief that  dignity should never depend on circumstance.”  

During the program, Gautam Adani launched Adani Mangal Seva’s book comprising stories of  transformation. The evening concluded with a shared dinner that preserved its inclusive and  grounded character. 

As Adani Mangal Seva completed its first year, it stood as a reminder that when intention takes  precedence over occasion, its impact can extend far beyond the moment itself. From large-scale  service initiatives during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj to supporting pilgrims during the Rath  Yatra in Puri last year, the underlying philosophy remains unchanged: that true prosperity is  inseparable from service, and that seva, practiced with dignity, intent and continuity, becomes its  own form of devotion.
