The foundation has been a financial pillar for his charitable initiatives, supporting various trusts, hospitals, schools, and colleges without seeking external support. Dr. Jindal's dedication to social welfare is further evidenced by his support for thousands of underprivileged students through scholarships and backing numerous NGOs committed to serving the less fortunate. Dr. Jindal’s commitment to preventive care aligns with his belief that naturopathy can alleviate the burden on allopathic hospitals, transforming the lives of millions globally.
