Deepak Foundation

Deepak Foundation Deepak Foundation is a leading non-profit civil society organization in Gujarat with its branches in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telengana and Delhi

It was a dark evening of 1981 when C.K. Mehta, Chairman of Deepak Group of Industries (Deepak Nitrite Ltd., and Deepak Fertilizer and Petrochemical Ltd.,) on his way back home after a busy day at the industrial plant in Nandesari (Vadodara) witnessed a woman giving birth in a bullock cart. This disheartening episode led to the establishment of a hospital focused on the health care of women and chi

ldren in the Nandesari industrial area of Vadodara and later evolved into the establishment of Deepak Foundation. Deepak Foundation, a Corporate Social Responsibility of Deepak Group, was initiated in 1982 with a vision of providing healthcare facilities to the families of workers and local communities residing in the industrial area of Nandesari. The Foundation has progressed over the period into a leading non-profit civil society in Gujarat and has expanded its services nationwide with branche offices in Pune, Roha and Taloja in Maharashtra, Hyderabad in Telengana, Indore in Madhya Pradesh and New Delhi.

Collaborative healthcare in action. The SSG Help Desk team recently conducted its weekly group counseling session on postnatal and newborn care at Sir Sayajirao General Hospital, Vadodara, engaging around 20 postnatal mothers and their support networks.
The comprehensive session addressed critical pillars of maternal and child healthcare, including postpartum recovery, newborn care, routine immunization, and the profound benefits of exclusive breastfeeding.

True menstrual equity requires a complete lifecycle approach: Education, Access, and Infrastructure. Deepak Foundation is addressing period stigma and accessibility from every angle. Education shouldn't stop for a period. Beyond handing out individual hygiene packs, we have been establishing emergency supplies directly with school teachers to ensure no young girl ever has to miss a class due to a lack of resources.

In Kuchai, Jharkhand, supported by the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR) and local SHG Group, we took the ultimate step toward self-reliance by inaugurating a local sanitary pad production unit. This doesn't just guarantee affordable hygiene for the region—it creates sustainable livelihoods and financial independence for local women.

From awareness to manufacture, we are proving that when women and girls have access to menstrual dignity, entire communities thrive. Let's keep breaking boundaries together.

Our Sankul kids aren't just learning Pithora art—they are breathing life into the rich cultural tribal heritage of Chota Udepur, Gujarat. Every bold stroke and vibrant color on the canvas is a connection to their roots, transforming ancient traditions into newfound confidence.
Watching their eyes light up as they realize they are the keepers of this sacred storytelling art is nothing short of magical. They aren't just the future but they are the proud custodians of our past.
From heritage to heart, they are painting their own bright futures.

Marking the International Day for Biological Diversity, Gujarat’s Hon’ble Minister for Forest, Environment and Climate Change, Shri Arjunbhai Modhwadia, released a groundbreaking book: "Faunal Biodiversity of Vagra Taluka, Bharuch."
Published by the Deepak Foundation in partnership with Deepak Phenolics Limited, this study reveals an incredible ecological reality: 243 faunal species—including 15 on the IUCN Red List—are thriving right alongside one of the state's largest industrial zones!
As Minister Modhwadia highlighted, this is a shining example of balancing Vikas (Progress) with Virasat (Heritage). It provides the scientific baseline needed to protect our local ecosystems while driving economic growth.
Dr. Ruchi Mehta (Trustee, Deepak Foundation), Dr. Jai Pawar (Director), Shri Nirmal Singh Yadav, and Project Lead Shri Anil Kumar were also present.
