Taking forward the vision of “Sahkar se Samriddhi” (Prosperity through Cooperation), Jamia Cooperative Bank (JCB) launched the “Humanity First” ambulance service to strengthen emergency healthcare access in Okhla.
The service was inaugurated by Ravinder Singh (Indraj), Cabinet Minister for Cooperation, NCT of Delhi, at the bank’s Sarai Jullena branch in Zakir Bagh on Wednesday.
The initiative aims to provide free and affordable ambulance support for critical patients and assistance in dignified final rites. Lauding the initiative, Minister Singh said, “Jamia Cooperative Bank’s work is commendable and should serve as a model for other cooperative banks. When your ambulances save lives, people remember you as their saviours.”
JCB Chairman MQH Beg, an alumnus of Jamia Millia Islamia, said the project was inspired by the United Nations’ declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Cooperatives. “We are starting with two ambulances and plan to expand soon,” he added.
The ambulances, donated to Jamia National Foundation, will serve residents in congested areas of Jamia Nagar and nearby colonies. JCB continues to promote social welfare through cooperation, reflecting its founder late Mirza Faridul Hasan Beg’s enduring vision of community service.
