JSW MG Motor India, through its community initiative MG Sewa, has handed over a specially retrofitted MG Hector ambulance to Chinmaya Mission Delhi to enhance medical preparedness during community programmes and large public gatherings. The formal handover took place at the Chinmaya Centre of World Understanding on Lodhi Road.
The initiative underscores JSW MG Motor India’s commitment to integrating manufacturing excellence with social responsibility by supporting safety, accessibility, and timely medical response. Under MG Sewa, the company collaborates with organisations actively engaged in sustained community service and public outreach.
The handover ceremony was attended by Chief Guest Padma Shri awardee Dr Ganesh Kumar Mani and Guest of Honour Dr Manju Mani. Addressing the gathering, Dr Ganesh Mani—eminent cardiologist and Chairman, Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket—spoke on healthy living amid rising lifestyle-related health risks, highlighting the importance of prevention and emergency readiness.
Emphasising the critical role of timely care, Dr Mani noted that heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally and outlined the seven ‘S’ risk factors to avoid: smoking, stress, sugar, salt, spirits, saturated fats, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Senior executives from JSW MG Motor India were present at the ceremony, with the lighting of the lamp led by Yeshwinder Patial, who also addressed the audience.
Speaking on the occasion, Yeshwinder Patial, Chief Human Resource Officer, JSW MG Motor India, said, “Today’s handover of the MG Hector Ambulance to Chinmaya Mission underscores our commitment to community welfare and purposeful mobility. The Hector’s robust build, advanced technology, and spacious design make it an ideal platform for emergency medical support. As part of MG Sewa, this initiative reflects MG’s dedication to strengthening healthcare access and ensuring our vehicles contribute meaningfully to society.”
On behalf of Chinmaya Mission Delhi, Brahmachari Soham Chaitanya and Shri Jatinder Dhir received the keys of the ambulance. Trustees, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and members of the Chinmaya Mission community were present during the handover.
Built on the MG Hector platform, the ambulance has been retrofitted into a fully equipped emergency medical response vehicle. It includes oxygen delivery systems, ventilator support, para monitoring equipment, an auto loader stretcher, and customised medical storage, enabling immediate medical care alongside safe and stable patient transport.
The ambulance will support on site medical readiness during residential camps, educational programmes, spiritual discourses, and large public events organised by Chinmaya Mission Delhi. The Mission’s programmes span all age groups, from Shishu Vihar initiatives for children to Vanaprastha programmes for senior citizens, and regularly bring together large and diverse gatherings.
Chinmaya Mission has a long-standing engagement with healthcare as part of its service to society. Chinmaya Mission Hospital in Bengaluru, which began as a modest clinic, has grown into a major healthcare institution serving hundreds of thousands of patients while continuing to provide free and concessional care. The Chinmaya Institute of Nursing supports the training of healthcare professionals, extending the Mission’s contribution beyond treatment into capacity building.
Alongside this initiative, Chinmaya Mission Delhi has outlined healthcare programmes for the year including an eye camp, a free health check up for women, and dedicated health screening for children.
Ms Shibani Khorana from Chinmaya Mission delivered the vote of thanks, expressing appreciation to JSW MG Motor India, the dignitaries, healthcare professionals, and volunteers. She noted that preparedness is an essential extension of care, particularly in a year that marks seventy five years of the Chinmaya Movement, where service continues to evolve in response to contemporary needs.
Through MG Sewa, JSW MG Motor India continues to align its mobility expertise with meaningful social initiatives. The donation of the retrofitted MG Hector ambulance to Chinmaya Mission Delhi demonstrates how corporate capability and trusted community institutions can work together to support preparedness, safety, and service in action.
