Who We Are
Nargis Dutt Foundation is a registered, charitable organization working passionately in the areas of Health & Education. It was first set up in 1981 in New York by Shri Sunil Dutt and the Indian Community in memory of Smt Nargis Dutt.
Over these 42 years, the impact of the foundation has been immeasurable touching the lives of millions of individuals through equipping 100’s of rural hospitals PAN INDIA with medical diagnostic equipment as well as mobile vans, supporting treatment of thousands of cancer patients annually, providing scholarships for meritorious and deserving students and holistic development of rural schools in India. NDF has also worked during the national calamities in India, be it the earthquakes in Latur and Bhuj or the floods in Mumbai, Bihar and Raigad.
NDF works at grassroot levels and due diligence is done for every single case.
The first bone marrow transplant in India was supported by NDF in 1983. Critical Care equipment was donated to Tata Memorial Hospital, after which the ICU was named after Nargis Duttji.
In 2020, Nargis Dutt foundation worked extensively for covid relief and was conferred the prestigious PICC Award by the Governor of Maharashtra.

Raising Funds For
We believe, no lives should be lost due to unaffordability of cancer treatment and no child should be deprived of a good education due to lack of funds.
Save a Life Campaign: Cancer is not only a disease but a trauma through which a family goes through. The aim of this project is to raise funds for cancer patients from disadvantaged families who are taking treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital, Wadia Hospital or a government hospital. Many of these patients come from rural parts of India and face tremendous challenges, besides the disease, when they come to Mumbai. Patients on an average have to undergo 6-12 chemotherapy cycles. Cost of each cycle ranges from 5K to 15K which is taken over a period of a year.
Donate 2 Educate Campaign:
We believe the future belongs to our educated young. To help each child reach their true potential, we are holistically developing rural schools with clean toilets, clean drinking water, extra classrooms, e-learning, musical labs and playgrounds. Besides this, we are also supporting the education of meritorious deserving students in school and higher education. Some of our past students are now working in TCS, Wipro, Ernst & Young and top corporate companies.If students are given an equal opportunity to learn and study, they would not only have a better chance of succeeding in life and but also improving the socio-economic condition of their families.
