Tata Steel Foundation ensures dignified last rites with hearse van for MKCG Medical College

Berhampur, December 6, 2024: Tata Steel Foundation (TSF), in collaboration with the District Administration, Ganjam has provided a fully equipped hearse van to MKCG Medical College and Hospital, addressing a long-standing challenge for families of the deceased. For years, the absence of a dedicated hearse van at the hospital forced families to rely on costly private transport to carry out last rites, adding emotional and financial strain during the difficult time.

Responding to a request from the District Collector, Ganjam, Tata Steel Foundation donated a hearse van that will be maintained by MKCG Medical College & Hospital and made available to all, ensuring that the bodies can be transported with dignity and respect, free from undue hardship to grieving families.

Manikant Naik, Managing Director, Tata Steel Special Economic Zone (TSSEZ) and Ambika Nanda, Head, CSR (Odisha), TSF handed over the van to Sangram Panda, Registrar, MKCG Medical College and Hospital in presence of senior officials of TSSEZ and TSF.

This initiative highlights the Foundation’s commitment to supporting community needs and upholding human dignity, while addressing critical gaps in healthcare infrastructure.
