Many elderly individuals in rural India face serious barriers to accessing healthcare, from limited mobility to lack of nearby facilities. These challenges not only affect their physical health but also impact their mental and emotional well-being, reducing their quality of life and increasing dependence on medication.
In 2020, Jindal Foundation launched Swasti Express to provide essential medical care and psychosocial support directly to seniors’ doorsteps. This specialised vehicle, equipped with physiotherapy tools, medical devices, and staffed by trained physiotherapists and healthcare professionals—travels to project villages delivering on-the-spot care. The initiative also promotes mental health through Senior Citizen Engagement Programs, creating safe spaces for interaction, recreation, and emotional connection. By addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of seniors, Swasti reflects Jindal Foundation’s vision of caring beyond bounds.
