AAF-BMGF PARTNERSHIP ROAD TO ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT RACE FOR COVID-19 CURE

A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TWO GLOBAL PHILANTHROPISTS

It’s a new dawn for India’s social sector. Global philanthropists Bill Gates and Anil Agarwal have announced a new partnership to support the Government of India’s Ministry of Women and Child Development (MoWCD) as it works to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2, which aims to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030. During a virtual meeting last week to discuss ways to work together, Bill Gates and Anil Agarwal expressed their shared belief that the future of children and women will be made more secure by eradicating poverty at the grassroots level.

ANIL AGARWAL BILL & MELINDA GATES

The collaboration between the two philanthropists will involve the implementation of best practices of Nand Ghar infrastructure and amenities along with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s systemic strengths to improve health and nutrition outcomes. The desired goal is to widen the spread and scale of Nand Ghars in identified districts of Uttar Pradesh to have deeper and large-scale impact.

AAF JOINS HANDS WITH BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will partner with the Anil Agarwal Foundation and the MoWCD to set up 500 Nand Ghars in Uttar Pradesh over the next 12 months. Majority of the new centers will come up in the districts of Amethi and Varanasi in the first phase of this partnership. Nand Ghar and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will jointly fund the expansion program in a 50:50 ratio and help in the transformation of the Anganwadi ecosystem and strengthen nutrition interventions in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Project Nand Ghar, an Anil Agarwal Foundation initiative, in coordination with the MoWCD, is setting up model Anganwadis with modern infrastructure and focusing on services for eradicating child malnutrition, providing interactive education, access to quality healthcare, and empowering women by providing skill development.

TAKING NAND GHAR TO BIHAR Nand Ghar, which is operational in seven states currently, is now working on a major plan to roll out the social impact project in Bihar. Studies have shown that more than 90 per cent of the children enrolled with Nand Ghars are found to be under the healthy category, with zero slippage into malnutrition.

The Nand Ghar journey began in 2015, and now with the rollout of over 1700 centers, the project is now spread across Rajasthan, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Nand Ghar aims to change the lives of 8 crore women and 2 crore children at the grassroots level.

SALUTING THE SPIRIT OF GIVE-BACK Vedanta group Chairman Anil Agarwal has already pledged that he will give away 75 per cent of his wealth to charity, which would make him one of corporate India’s biggest donors. This is part of his mission to give back to society and eliminate malnutrition, especially among women & children.

AAF-BMGF PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE A LASTING IMPACT

"The Government of India is committed towards enabling a healthy & well-nourished life for every child. The partnership of BMGF and Anil Agarwal Foundation to ameliorate malnutrition will surely have a lasting impact and further strengthen Honourable PM Narendra Modi’s vision of Suposhit Bharat."

SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI - Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, Union Minister for Women & Child Development

ADVANCING INDIA’S HEALTH DEVELOPMENT GOALS

"If I had a magic wand, one of the problems I’d fix is malnutrition. It devastates tens of millions of women and children around the world. Nand Ghar’s work is advancing India’s health and development goals in a meaningful way, and by working together, I think we’ll advance them even faster."

BILL GATES -Bill Gates, Co-chair, Gates Foundation.

TRANSFORMING THE ANGANWADI ECOSYSTEM

We are delighted to partner with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on the Nand Ghar project in state of Uttar Pradesh. We would be jointly developing 500 Nand Ghars in UP with focus on improving health and nutritional outcomes for women and children. Nand Ghar is a joint collaboration with Ministry of Women & Child Development, where we hope to transform the entire landscape of the aanganwadi ecosystem ANIL AGARWAL with focus on nutrition.

-Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta

VEDANTA – FUELLING THE MSME ECOSYSTEM

Vedanta has been fostering the growth of MSMEs. As part of its plan to realise the grand vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the company has been working on a variety of initiatives to make a big difference to small and micro partners and help them reach optimum capacity. As part of its mission to work towards socio-economic growth and nation-building, Vedanta is committed to make a difference the fortunes of the MSME sector.

PARTNERING FOR PROGRESS

"India is the fastest growing country in the world and all eyes are on India. India is the place for opportunities and entrepreneurship, and I would invite MSMEs to make the most of it. India is the only country where you can both produce and sell. Consumption in India is growing in double digits and offers a great opportunity. Vedanta was an MSME which has grown to become a large company. We work very closely with 3000 SMEs, and around 500 of them are from abroad.”

-Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta, while speaking at the Pravasi Bharaitya Divas Convention on 'Targeting US $5 Trillion Atmanirbhar Bharat economy by boosting MSMEs'

THE ROAD TO ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT

Union Cabinet Minister of Railways, Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, delivered the keynote address at the inaugural webinar on 'The Vision and Philosophy of AatmaNirbhar Bharat'.

- Piyush Goyal, PIYUSH GOYAL Union Minister of Railways, Commerce and Industry

“India’s energy consumption is projected to grow at 3 per cent per annum up to 2040, faster than all major economies. India’s share of total global primary energy demand is said to roughly double to about 11 per cent by 2040 driven by strong economic development.”

DHARMENDRA PRADHAN - Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Steel

“Several policies and reforms have been undertaken that are aligned with our vision to unleash the mining potential of the country. We are on our way to transform this sector.

PRALHAD JOSHI - Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister of Coal & Mines and Parliamentary Affairs

AMITABH KANT - Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog

RACE FOR COVID-19 CURE

The wait for the Covid-19 vaccine just got a bit longer for India as two key players were told on Wednesday that their clinical trial data was inadequate for a fast-track approval. At a virtual review meeting, spread through the day, the subject expert committee (SEC) asked vaccine makers Bharat Biotech International (BBIL) and Serum Institute of India (SII) to come back with more data for getting an accelerated marketing authorisation. (Business Standard)

As the Centre starts provisioning for one of the largest Covid-19 immunization drives in the world, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine candidate seems to be an outlier, at least for now. Senior government officials have indicated that India may not procure the mRNA vaccine, which American major Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech have developed, for the immunisation drive. The higher cost of the Pfizer vaccine, already approved by the UK and the US regulators, is among the primary reasons why other options may be preferred by India. (Business Standard)

The US has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine on an emergency basis, with the first shots set to be given within 24 hours. The Food and Drug Administration’s decision has been one of the most politically fraught of the pandemic, which has claimed more than 280,000 lives in the US. (Financial Times)

The third interim data on Sputnik V vaccine’s phase 3 trial in Russia has shown that the adenovirus vector jabs were 91.4% effective at preventing covid-19, its co-developer Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said on Monday. The interim analysis of the phase 3 trial was the last one before the trial is completed in May, when the vaccine developer would conduct a final analysis to determine the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, a company spokesperson said. (Mint)

PEERS INSIGHT

In a boost to its efforts to disinvest stake inAir India, the Centre said Monday that it has received “multiple expressions of interest” for the debt-laden airline. These include bids from the Tata Group and a consortium comprising several of the airline’s employees and a US-based investment firm, sources told The Indian Express. The deadline for submission of formal bids closed at 5 pm on Monday and the Government is expected to notify the qualified bidders on January 5. (Indian Express)

Reliance Industries and other producers of natural gas will no longer need the government’s approval for gas price if it is arrived at using the new guidelines for the discovery of market price, an official order said. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, last week, notified guidelines for discovery of market prices for domestically produced natural gas via e-bidding. ONGC and OIL are also to follow these guidelines for discovery of market price of natural gas from their fields wherever pricing and marketing freedom have been granted, it added. (Hindu)

Australian energy major Woodside Petroleum has exercised its right of first refusal (RoFR) to checkmate ONGC Videsh’s bid to buy 15% stake in a $4-billion Senegal oilfield. The move dashes the ONGC subsidiary’s hopes of its first bargain hunt in the aftermath of the April oil price crash. Sources told TOI that Woodside informed stakeholders and the Senegal government last week of its intention to preempt ONGC Videsh’s deal to acquire another Aussie firm FAR’s 15% in the Sangomar project with a matching offer, estimated at $111 million and further investment of $600 million.

Global alternative asset investor Oaktree Capital Management has emerged as the highest bidder for bankrupt Dewan Housing Finance Corp. Ltd (DHFL), beating Adani Enterprises Ltd and Piramal Group, two people aware of the matter said. Oaktree Capital offered to pay Rs 32,700 crore in the fourth round of bidding for mortgage lender DHFL’s entire portfolio, followed by Piramal with Rs 32,350 crore and Adani Enterprises with Rs 29,860 crore, the people cited above said on condition of anonymity. S.C. Lowy, which had earlier bid for DHFL’s assets, did not submit a fresh bid. (Mint)

JSW Steel raised $250 million by selling bonds overseas. The bond sale is an extension to its earlier issuance in October, when the steelmaker raised $500 million. The bonds, which opened for subscriptions Monday, likely obtained an order book, three times higher than the actual size. Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse helped the company mopping up the funds. Real money investors put in bids amounting to around $1 billion chasing $250 million on similar terms & price, bankers said. (Economic Times)

The Aditya Birla Group is on an investment spree. Its metals major, Hindalco, today announced Rs 7,000 crore investments to double downstream capacity, days after the Group’s cement company UltraTech unveiled major capacity expansion plans. Hindalco also announced a Rs 730-crore investment in setting up a 34,000-tonne extrusion plant at Silvassa. With signs of the economy looking up, the Aditya Birla Group has been one of the few corporates to revive investment plans. (Hindu Business Line)

Adani International Container Terminal (AICT), a joint venture between Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) and Terminal Investment, is raising $300-400 million via overseas bonds as the company aims to lower funding cost by at least 150 basis points to refinance a five-year loan. This is the maiden overseas bond sale by the company, two people with knowledge of the matter said. The bonds are likely to be of 10-year maturities and expected to be priced in the range of 2.90-3%, sources said. (Economic Times)

VEDANTA & THE WORLD

US oil and gas producers have begun to follow their European rivals in setting ambitious targets on cutting their emissions amid mounting investor pressure over climate change. Pioneer Natural Resources, the biggest independent oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin, last week vowed to cut the intensity of its greenhouse gas emissions by a quarter by the end of the decade. That followed recent announcements by rivals ConocoPhillips and Occidental Petroleum that they would reduce emissions from their operations to net-zero by mid-century, marking the first such pledges by big American oil companies. (Financial Times)

ExxonMobil has promised to cut emissions for every barrel of oil it produces by up to a fifth over the next five years, after investor pressure for action on climate change. The company on Monday said it would aim for a cut of 15-20 per cent per barrel by 2025, compared with 2016 levels. The announcement comes as Exxon faces a vocal shareholder campaign to do more to reduce its environmental impact. (Financial Times)

Royal Dutch Shell has been hit by the departure of several clean energy executives amid a split over how far and fast the oil giant should shift towards greener fuels. The wave of resignations comes just weeks before Shell is set to announce its strategy for the energy transition. Some executives have pushed for a more aggressive shift from oil, but top management is more inclined to stick closer to the company’s current path, according to four people familiar with the matter. (Financial Times)

The Church of England has joined a growing investor campaign demanding sweeping changes at ExxonMobil, saying it was backing calls for the appointment of new directors and for the oil supermajor to develop a pragmatic strategy for the transition to cleaner fuels. The Church Commissioners for England, who manage the CofE’s investment fund, said on Thursday they were “pleased to lend their support” to proposals from new investment fund Engine No 1 designed to “re-energise ExxonMobil”. (Financial Times)

Oil giant Saudi Aramco and energy services company Baker Hughes have formed a 50/50 joint venture, Novel, to develop a broad range of non-metallic products for multiple applications in the energy sector. Novel's new plant is being constructed at Saudi Arabia's King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), a 50 sq km energy city aimed at making the kingdom a global energy, industrial and technology hub. (Reuters).

U.S. President Donald Trump’s outgoing administration is set to approve a controversial land swap later this month that would give Rio Tinto Ltd and partners more than 2,400 acres (9.7 square kilometers) to build an Arizona copper mine, even though the project would destroy religious and cultural sites sacred to Native Americans. (Reuters)

Glencore has named global head of coal Gary Nagle as the company’s next chief executive, with Ivan Glasenberg set to step down from the role next year. Nagle will relocate from Australia to Switzerland in early 2021 to complete his transition with Glasenberg, who is also retiring from his role as a member of the Glencore board in the first half of 2021.
