Bauji The Inspiration
Shri O P Jindal - A Tribute
His life's mission was to help others particularly the common
man in every possible way. The list of his philanthropic
activities is rather long. He was the Chairman of N.C. Jindal
Charitable Trust, under whose auspices a 300 Bed N.C. Jindal
Institute of Medical Care functions in Hisar Haryana. A 10+2
Girls Residential School in the name of Vidya Devi Jindal School
is also run at Hisar. The girls school spreads over 40 acres of
land. Another 10+2 school by the name of N.C. Jindal Public
School for 4000 students is being run in Delhi. For his selfless
social services and philanthropic contributions, he was
unanimously nominated as the Chairman of the Maharaja Agarsen
Medical Education & Scientific Research Society. He was also
the custodian trustee of the Agroha Vikas Trust. Sh. Jindal was
known for his unassuming generosity and donates crores of rupees
annually not only to known but also to needy strangers. Numerous
social and religious institution of India also received liberal
donations from Sh. Jindal for noble causes.
He was a successful industry visionary and would remain as a
role model for others. On account of his dedicated services to
various sections of society particularly, of the poor and
backward classes, he was revered by all. In the recent years, he
was dedicating his maximum time for alleviating poverty of the
economically backward people. Sh. Jindal always advocated for
granting a rightful place for weaker sections in politics. He
was above caste politics and wanted all to come up regardless of
their caste, colour and creed. For these qualities he commanded
great respect amongst the masses. He firmly held the view that
all differences in life that exist today can be amicably
resolved with meaningful meetings and dialogues.
Sh. Jindal's philosophy was that without the
upliftment of weaker and backward sections of society our
nation's dream of being a leading nation of the world shall
remain unfulfilled. To realize his this conviction he was
motivated into politics. Like industry even in politics he had a
successful story to tell. He received tremendous support and
cooperation of people in the political arena and resultantly
became a Member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly in 1991.
Soon after in 1996, he was elected as a Member of Parliament in
the 11th Lok Sabha from the Kurukshetra Parliamentary
Constituency of Haryana with a landslide victory. Infact, he was
the first industrialist of India to be elected as a Member of
Parliament in Lok Sabha.
As a Member of Parliament, he proved himself as a matured,
seasoned and an honest parliamentarian who came up to the
expectation of people, who had consigned faith in him. He
liberally funded various welfare projects not only from the
Government but also from his personal resources. Sh. Jindal was
a sitting Congress MLA from the Hisar Legislative Assembly and
was appointed Minister of Power, Govt. of Haryana. Sh. Jindal
won the Hisar Legislative Assembly seat of Haryana consecutively
thrice.
Sh. Jindal's mantra was where others saw walls he saw
doors. Then whether it was opening doors or breaking down
walls he always led the way.
The life journey of Sh. Jindal from a farmer's son to a
successful industrialist, a philanthropist, a politician and a
leader would serve as a great source of inspiration for
generations to come. |
