REC Limited Commits Rs. 15 Crore for Free Medical Treatment of Children with Congenital Heart Disease for the Second Consecutive Year

18 Oct 2024

In a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, REC Limited, a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Power and a leading NBFC, has committed Rs. 15 crore to provide free medical treatment and surgery for approximately 1,000 children born with congenital heart disease from economically weaker sections of society.

The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) formalizing this noble endeavour was signed between Ms. Taruna Gupta, Executive Director of CSR at REC Limited, and Shri Vivek Gaur, Trustee of Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust. The agreement was exchanged in the esteemed presence of Shri Vivek Kumar Dewangan, Chairman and Managing Director of REC Limited.

This initiative is a continuation of REC’s previous CSR initiative, “Healing Little Hearts,” where Rs. 15 crore was allocated to treat 1,000 children. The success of the initial project, which provided these children with a new lease on life, has motivated REC to extend its support to even more families in need.

Through this initiative, REC Limited reaffirms its commitment to social responsibility by ensuring that children born with congenital heart disease receive the necessary medical intervention to lead healthy and active lives. This initiative underscores REC’s ongoing dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those in need through its CSR activities.
