Atharva Foundation (Mumbai), on Saturday, donated an ambulance to the Ex-serviceman League Mon. Atharva Foundation was founded by BJP legislator from Maharashtra, Sunil Rane, who believes that the growth of a nation depends on the growth of the various sections of its society. The foundation aims to look after the not-so-privileged sections of our society to bring about a positive change in the lives of the less fortunate people of India.
DIPR informed that during the handover ceremony at the Civil Secretariat Complex, Kohima, Home Commissioner Abhijit Sinha, IAS, emphasized the critical importance of health and medical care, especially as individuals age. He highlighted the significance of the donated ambulance in providing essential services to the ex-servicemen of Mon district.

It allows for the swift transport of sick patients to the nearest medical facility, ensuring prompt and adequate treatment. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Atharva Foundation for their generous donation and commended the department for their noble initiative in supporting the welfare of ex-servicemen.
