Mumbai: The Adani Group will take responsibility of school education of children who have lost their parents in the horrific triple-train accident at Odisha’s Balasore district on Friday evening.

“We all are deeply distressed by the Orissa train accident. We have decided that the Adani group will take the responsibility of school education of the innocents who have lost their parents in this accident,” Gautam Adani tweeted in Hindi.

The founder and chairman of the Adani Group said it is the joint responsibility of “all of us to provide strength to the victims and their families and a better tomorrow to the children.”
