Jubilee Memorial Hospital, Visakhapatnam by donating Rs.60 lakhs. The wing was named after
the erstwhile Chairman, Late Dr. Bharat Ram. The hospital is a charitable institution located in
the neighbourhood of the Visakhapatnam Plant, catering to the medical needs of the
underprivileged sections of society. Equipment such as dialysis unit, ultramodern ventilator,
laparoscope and portable X-ray were also donated. This fully equipped wing caters to around
