Speaking on the occasion, Adel said, "I am humbled and grateful to the Government for this recognition. All the social initiatives undertaken by DSSG have been implemented keeping in mind women empowerment under Govt. of India's Skill India Mission. This includes setting up a scholarship fund, reserving 30 percent of jobs for women for its tolling division, offering free vocational training, and providing self-defense kits. I believe that the upliftment of women in the Security Industry is significant to build a fairer and more balanced environment. I am glad that through our work, we have successfully impacted the lives of many which will further encourage us to empower, inspire and motivate more women."
During the COVID-19 pandemic, DSSG partnered with iVillage, a social enterprise that provides employment opportunities for rural homemakers.
