Kolkata, Nov 30: Billionaire Indian entrepreneur
Mukesh Ambani has announced a donation of two million dollars
to the health programmes of the International Federation of
Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.
Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, made
the announcement at the federation's general assembly
currently taking place in Geneva, a RIL spokesperson said
here today.
His support was inspired by the effectiveness of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in their response to the Gujarat earthquake two years ago which killed over 20,000 people, Ambani, who chairs the board of directors for the Foundation of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said.
Urging business corporations to 'go beyond financial equity to building social equity', Ambani also pledged to put the six million subscriber base of his it company, Reliance Infocomm, at the service of the Red Cross in India to access millions of citizens and to mobilize their support, he said in a release.
