The real heroes are the children and their exceptional performances in overcoming their hearing challenges. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible initiative. The dedication and passion exhibited by the entire team, united by a common goal, are truly inspiring. BPCL's efforts to support this remarkable team are driven by a noble purpose, and I extend my best wishes to everyone involved."IMEMIRC is a charitable organization that operates the 'Indorewala ENT Hospital,' a state-of-the-art super-speciality care center in Nashik.
