Since its formation, Dr.S.R.Jindal has been nurturing this Foundation like a baby, discharging his moral and social responsibilities as a Patron in the true spirit of the words of Mahatma Gandhi. By dint of hard work, unshakeable commitment and love for humanity, the Foundation has stead fastly pursued its avowed objectives and has moved forward in  leaps and bounds in fulfilling the aims for which the Foundation was originally set up. Believing in the adage "every single paisa of the Foundation is God’s money" Dr. Jindal has been taking utmost care in ensuring that maximum benefit is given to the deserving mankind/institutions, while maintaining absolute simplicity without any pomp and show. Jindal Aluminium Limited( JAL), of which Dr.S.R.Jindal is the sole founder, Chairman and Managing Director, has been contributing substantially to the Foundation for discharging its social responsibilities towards the society at large. In the process, JAL, the Foundation and also various other related Societies/ Trusts/ Institutions are running hospitals/ schools, vocational training centres, orphanages, old age homes, mobile dispensaries, awarding scholarships to poor students and donations to other charitable institutions. At the cost of repetition, it is worth mentioning that while spending money on any charitable activity, it is ensured that not a single paisa is wasted and proper verification and cross checks are made before and after giving scholarships, donations etc. to ensure that financial assistance given is properly utilised. All donations/ scholarships are given without any discrimination of colour, caste or creed. Unfortunately, it is generally seen that the industrial community is not fulfilling its duty towards the society but is indulging in  wasting huge money in cocktail parties and vulgar display of their wealth. If most industrialists in the country, if not all, are able to realise atleast a part of their moral obligations towards the society, the whole country could be transformed into a prosperous society. Below is the slogan given by Dr.S.R.Jindal: "I believe that industry is a self-generating economy. I wish industrialists could contribute their mite for the upliftment of the less fortunate by adopting 1 to 100 villages each as per their capacity besides doing other welfare activities instead of indulging in vulgar display of wealth and wasting it in cocktail parties vis-à-vis five star culture." To fulfill the objectives setout for itself, the Foundation is regularly inviting applications for awarding scholarships, donations, institution of Gold Medals and also awards for dental innovation.

Note: Grant of scholarship/donation/award/fellowship is the sole prerogative of the Foundation and the decision of the Foundation will be final and binding. No canvassing/ personal visit to Foundation's office is allowed and this will be treated as a disqualification.
