Bhubaneswar, 13/09/25 – Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has developed a dedicated fitness-cum-amusement park for 700 students of Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama School in Hatamuniguda, Rayagada. The park, equipped with a variety of play and fitness facilities, is designed to promote physical activity, recreation and holistic growth of students.
The facility was inaugurated by Mr. Prateek Kumar, Vice President & Head, Vedanta Sijimali Bauxite Mines, in the presence of school authorities. The inauguration was followed by a heartwarming sight of students exploring the new space with enthusiasm.

All its students hail from tribal communities across the Koraput region, including Rayagada, Koraput, Malkangiri, and Nabarangpur districts.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “At Vedanta Aluminium, we believe that true community development goes beyond infrastructure – it’s about creating opportunities for holistic growth. This fitness-cum-amusement park will offer children opportunities for play and physical activity, along with a joyful environment that fosters confidence and supports overall development. We are committed to partnering with communities to create such impactful interventions that nurture the future of our nation.”
