NEW DELHI (India CSR): In the wake of Operation Sindoor’s resounding success, which dismantled terror infrastructure across the border, employees of Jindal Steel have come together in a heartfelt act of patriotism. By contributing one day’s salary each, they have collectively raised Rs 2 crore for the Armed Forces Battle Casualties Welfare Fund to support the welfare of soldiers and their families impacted in the line of duty.
The cheque, representing this united employee contribution, was formally handed over by Chairman Naveen Jindal to Hon’ble Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi today.
“Our soldiers are the true sentinels of our nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and steadfast commitment to protecting India inspire us all. This contribution from the Jindal Steel family is a humble gesture to honour their service and to stand firmly with them and their loved ones,” said Naveen Jindal.
This initiative continues Jindal Steel’s legacy of standing with the nation in moments of need. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company contributed Rs 25 crore to the PM-CARES Fund, supplied free oxygen to hospitals in Delhi, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, distributed meals and PPE kits, upgraded medical facilities, and supported women’s self-help groups in producing over 100,000 protective masks. In 2013, after the Uttarakhand (Kedarnath) tragedy, the company swiftly provided relief and essential supplies to disaster-hit regions.
Through this united gesture, the Jindal Steel family reaffirms its deep respect and gratitude towards India’s Armed Forces, underscoring a shared commitment to support those who safeguard the sovereignty and security of the nation.
