About UsA small incident can change the entire course of life! Seeing a lady giving birth in a bullock cart, Mr. C.K. Mehta, Chairman of Deepak Group of Companies thought of setting up a hospital in the Nandesari Industrial area of Vadodara. This idea materialised into the Deepak Medical Hospital, which then became the birthplace of Deepak Foundation way back in 1982. The primary aim was to provide medical and health care services to the workers and to the local community near the industrial area of Nandesari, comprising about 30 villages. |
