Naveen Jindal’s Humanitarian Initiative — 20,000+Jindal Steel Employees to Donate One Day’s Salary for the Rehabilitation of Border Villages 

Raipur (thestates.news) | The historic success of Operation Sindoor under the able leadership
of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has filled the nation with pride. Yet, it has
also left thousands of civilians in Jammu and Kashmir’s border areas facing a grave
humanitarian crisis. In the wake of Pakistan’s brutal attack, many innocent lives were lost, and
villages were reduced to rubble. 
In this time of adversity, Shri Naveen Jindal, Chairman of Jindal Steel and the Member of
Parliament (Loksabha) from Kurukshetra, has taken a compassionate and resolute step to
come forward to support the rehabilitation of affected families in the border regions. 
As part of this initiative, Shri Jindal has announced a financial contribution towards relief and
rehabilitation efforts. Significantly, over 20,000 employees of the Jindal Steel & Power have
voluntarily pledged to donate one day’s salary, transforming this act from an individual
gesture into a unified national commitment. 
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Naveen Jindal said, “The citizens living along our borders are
no less than soldiers. Their courage, resilience, and sacrifice inspire us all. Now, when they are
in distress, it becomes our moral and national duty to stand with them. I urge every Indian and
every institution to contribute to this noble cause.” 
It is noteworthy that following the heinous killing of innocent civilians in an April 22 terror
attack in Pahalgam, India launched Operation Sindoor — a decisive military strike on terror
camps across the border. In response, Pakistan targeted Indian border villages with heavy
shelling, leading to displacement and destruction. 
This act of support by Jindal Steel is not unprecedented. The company has a legacy of stepping
up in times of national crises — from ensuring oxygen supply and free meals during the
COVID-19 pandemic to contributing ₹25 crore to the PM CARES Fund, and offering timely aid
during the 2013 Uttarakhand floods. 
Shri Naveen Jindal’s initiative reflects his deep-rooted sense of responsibility toward the
nation and its people. It sends a powerful message of solidarity to our fellow citizens in the
border regions: they are not alone in this hour of need. 
The collective resolve of the Jindal Steel family is not only a concrete step toward
rehabilitation, but also a reaffirmation of the spirit of national service — a spirit that forms the
foundation of a strong and united India.
