Agar aap sapne dekhoge nahi, toh sapne poore kaise honge?

On my recent trip, a young pilot named Captain Neha Kapoor walked up to me and told me that she used to work at Cairn Vedanta. It made me happy to hear that people who have worked with us have succeeded in their careers. Pilots like Captain Neha are role models to our young girls everywhere. Through her hard work, she has proven that you can fly as high as you want. What makes me even happier is knowing that India has the highest percentage of female pilots across the world (12.4%)!  If any young girl is reading this, I urge you to go after your dreams. Manzil unhi ko milti hai jinke hauslon mein jaan hoti hai.  And as for the parents of our young girls, let them know they can be anything they set their minds to! After all, sky's the limit…

Thanks Sir for encouraging the nation's daughters. Such blessings and encouraging words will indubitably spur them on to greater heights. Seeing them, more will follow suit. Parents should realize that girls are excelling in every field they are being given a chance and support them. Their growth will undoubtedly usher in further growth of the nation.

Thanks for this message. It is a great advice to young girls and their parents. And considering who is giving it, the impact is additionally strong.

Controversy and criticism[edit] In 2004, a committee of the Indian Supreme Court charged that Vedanta had dumped thousands of tons of arsenic-bearing slag near its factory in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, resulting in major poisoning of the environment and neighbouring population. In 2005, another committee of the Indian Supreme Court charged that Vedanta had forced over one hundred indigenous families from their homes in the Indian state of Odisha, where it sought to mine bauxite. According to the committee's report: "An atmosphere of fear was created through the hired goons", and residents were "beaten up by the employees of M/s Vedanta". Vedanta's actions in Odisha were rebuked by the British commerce agency, and the Church of England investment funds sold their shares in the company in protest. In Zambia, Vedanta dumped hazardous waste into the Kafue River, from its copper mine there, according to a lawsuit filed by 2,000 residents, resulting in widespread human illness and the death of fish. A local judge stated: "This was lack of corporate responsibility and criminal, and a tipping point for corporate recklessness". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Agarwal_(industrialist)

Anil Agarwal Sir - What is amazing is to see is the confidence that young girls possess today. Both, in having a clarity of mind and purpose. As well as the will to pursue and succeed! So good to see that they are not bound by any parochial barriers. And a lot of credit must be given to their families, friends, and the conducive environment which encourages such thinking and pursuit. The only disconcerting thing remains is that most such achievements are still largely limited to the affluent families and/or those coming from metropolitan cities! How I wish that this culture permeates across all strata of society - and where the means and opportunities are limited - the state - and even the corporate sector - steps in and sets up such "Centres for Fulfilling Dreams!" For both young girls as well as young boys.

We are so proud of you, Neha!✈

Vedanta has always given me profits when I have invested. No doubt it's the values which makes it fly high and not just balance sheets.
