As part of its ongoing commitment to community welfare, Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), the CSR arm of Hyundai Motor India Ltd, has provided two Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances to Primary Health Centres in the villages of Takve and Yelse, located in Maval Taluka, Pune district. The initiative, with a total investment of ₹80 lakh, is aimed at strengthening emergency healthcare services in remote areas of Maharashtra.
The ambulance handover ceremony was attended by key state leaders, including Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, School Education Minister Dadaji Bhuse, Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Dr Neelam Gorhe, Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Anna Bansode, and Zilla Parishad CEO Gajanan Patil. Representing Hyundai Motor India were Puneet Anand, AVP and Vertical Head – Corporate Affairs, and Saurabh Sharma, Domain Head – CSV.
The donated ALS ambulances are equipped with vital emergency equipment such as ventilators, oxygen cylinders, and suction devices. These units are capable of handling critical care cases involving trauma, maternity emergencies, and pediatric situations. The effort forms a key component of HMIF’s flagship health initiative SparshSanjeevani, which is focused on enhancing access to quality medical services in underserved and rural regions.
Established in 2006, HMIF drives Hyundai’s social responsibility programs across India. The foundation focuses on sustainable community development through initiatives in healthcare, education, environmental conservation, road safety, skill-building, and disaster response.
In education, HMIF has supported school infrastructure upgrades, provided scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and promoted digital learning tools. The foundation also backs skill development and vocational training programs to improve employment opportunities for youth from low-income families.
Within the healthcare domain, HMIF runs several initiatives to enhance medical access in remote areas. This includes mobile health units, medical equipment donations, awareness drives, and its SparshSanjeevani program, which has played a significant role in deploying ambulances and emergency care services in rural India. Environmental initiatives by HMIF have included afforestation efforts, water management projects, and promotion of renewable energy sources—all designed to foster ecological balance and involve communities in sustainability practices.
Road safety awareness is another focus area, where HMIF partners with local authorities to conduct educational campaigns and training programs aimed at reducing road accidents. In times of crises, such as natural disasters, HMIF has actively participated in relief operations—distributing essential supplies, medical aid, and helping with community rebuilding efforts.
