23 March 2026, Hisar, : As part of its commitment to improving community well-being and quality of life, Jindal Stainless, India’s leading stainless steel manufacturer, organised a community event ‘Nanhe Kadam’ in Hisar on March 14. The event honoured the journey of children undergoing treatment under the ‘Elimination of Clubfoot Disability among Children’ programme, supported by Jindal Stainless’ CSR arm in collaboration with Cure International India Trust. The event was graced by Chief Guest Ms Srishti Jindal, Jindal Stainless, as well as Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal. The event also saw presence of medical professionals from Maharaja Agrasen Civil Hospital, Hisar and beneficiary families from more than 20 villages across the Hisar region.
The event also provided a platform for the beneficiaries to share their experiences while enabling meaningful interaction between Jindal Stainless, healthcare providers, and the community, where the importance of completing the treatment was reiterated. During the event, foot abduction braces were distributed to a few beneficiary children by the Chief Guest, along with gifts for the attending children.
Speaking on the initiative, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal, said, “Seeing children take confident steps after timely treatment is both encouraging and a reminder of the importance of early medical intervention and community support. Through this initiative, our effort is to ensure that children born with clubfoot receive the care they need at the right time. This also aligns with our commitment to creating stronger, healthier communities.”
Speaking on the initiative, Chief Guest, Ms Srishti Jindal, Jindal Stainless, said, “Children are the future of our nation, and ensuring their healthy development is essential to building a stronger society. Thanks to Cure Trust in enabling timely treatment and support, enabling children take confident steps towards a healthier future.”
Dr Santhosh George, Director, Cure International India Trust, said, “Clubfoot is a treatable condition, and early treatment can significantly improve outcomes for affected children. We are grateful to Jindal Stainless for supporting timely access to treatment and for staying closely connected with beneficiary families to ensure that children receive the full course of care.”
Jindal Stainless, through its CSR arm Jindal Stainless Foundation (JSF), has been implementing the programme ‘Elimination of Clubfoot Disability among Children’, since 2021, in partnership with Cure International India Trust (CIIT). The initiative is currently active in Hisar, Haryana, and Cuttack, Odisha, as part of which free treatment is provided for children using the globally accepted Ponseti method. The non-surgical treatment includes corrective casting, minor procedures where required, and provision of Foot Abduction Braces (FAB). As the treatment typically continues over few years, regular medical follow-ups and counselling for parents are conducted to ensure adherence to the treatment protocol and prevent discontinuation midway. Over 470 children are currently benefitting from the intervention across both locations.
In Hisar, treatment services are provided at the Orthopaedics Department of Maharaja Agrasen Civil Hospital, where a dedicated clubfoot clinic operates every Tuesday with government doctors and a CIIT counsellor. Families from over 20 nearby villages – like Barwala, Bhiwani, Sisai, Dhanshu, among others – benefit from the programme, which supports children throughout the full treatment cycle without financial burden.
