The Reliance Foundation’s founder and chairwoman, Nita Mukesh Ambani, received the Miss World Foundation’s “Humanitarian Award” on Saturday in honor of her dedication to social service and charity.
Following a 28-year hiatus, the 71st Miss World 2024 contest returned to India, with Julia Morley, chairperson and CEO of the Miss World Organization, serving as the event’s presenter.
“This honour is not just a personal achievement, but a testament to the power of compassion and service that binds us…Throughout my journey I have been guided by the timeless Indian principles of Satyam Shivam Sundaram, representing truth, goodness and beauty. Satyam embraces the truth. The pursuit of truth is a spiritual journey marked by a quest for purity, integrity and sincerity of purpose. Shivam nurtures the divinity within. I have experienced divinity in the smiles and laughter of millions of children through the work of our Reliance Foundation. Sundaram celebrates the beauty that surrounds us. Find joy in every moment and fill your heart with gratitude and appreciation. Use beauty as a force for positive change," Nita Ambani said while receiving the award.
“At Reliance Foundation, we are making dedicated effort to empower every Indian, especially women and young girls, with education, health care, sports, livelihood and promotion of arts and culture…," said Ambani. Lauding women power at the event, she added,
“What women cannot do, cannot be done."
