Mumbai: Essar Foundation has always been leading from the front when it comes to society and community uplift. Employees from Essar Power and Essar Foundation donated essentials to the residents of Jay Janardan Swami Anath and Vrudha Ashram, an orphanage and home to old aged abandoned senior citizens, situated in Lasalgoan, Nashik around 320 kilometers from Mumbai.
The ashram is run by a couple – Dilip Baburao Gunjal and Sangeeta Dilip Gunjal. As part of its ongoing support to the poor and homeless, Essar Foundation along with Essar Power, provided essential items like rice, dal, cooking oil, wheat pulses, etc to the ashram.

She has been sponsored by Essar Foundation for her sports and studies.
Payal Chhabra represented the Foundation team and handed over the material to the couple. Gunjal thanked Essar Power and Essar Foundation for the support as it will help provide sufficient food to the children and old-aged members of the Ashram.
