to all its operations.
Presently the Foundation has made its presence felt in ten states across the country and is engaged in programmes like Natural Resource Management, agricultural development and improvement of health status, educational support and economic enhancement.
Inception
ACF was formally registered in 1993 after two years of interaction and engagement with rural communities, with the mission to "energise, involve and enable communities to realize their potential". ACL started off by working with a few rural communities around our parent company's cement plant in Kodinar, and have come a long way to being functional in 655 villages, in 10 states covering a population of 10.2 lakh people across India today. ACF takes its values from its parent company and with its “I CAN” spirit aims at making people prosperous where they are.
Genesis & Approach
The ACF team at all our locations work to constantly plan and implement developmental programmes with the support of the village communities. With the support and co-operation of our communities, we have been able to bring about tangible changes in different aspects of their lives.
