US company contributes to IIT-K new ward
Kanpur: Co-founders of Opalescent IT Solutions Inc, a US-based company, Manoj Gupta and Neeraj Gupta, contributed funds for an eight-bed ward for economically weaker section patients at the upcoming Gangwal School of Medical Sciences and Technology (GSMST), Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, through the IIT-K Foundation, a US-based non-profit organisation.
The contribution has been made as tribute to their father, late MC Gupta, who served as Superintendent at IIT-K from 1961 to 1997 as well as to underscore the family's enduring connection to the institute. Gupta was honoured with the Long and Satisfactory Service Award in 1987. The new ward will be named in memory of the donor's late parents, Rukmani Gupta and MC Gupta.
Director of IIT-K Manindra Agrawal stated, "Specific contributions like this will help us build an inclusive medical infrastructure and a resilient future healthcare system. On behalf of the institute, I express our deepest gratitude to the Gupta family for their generous gesture, which is rooted in their deep sense of enduring connection to IIT Kanpur."
Speaking on behalf of the family, Manoj Gupta remarked, "Our father dedicated his life to IIT Kanpur. This contribution is not just a tribute to his service but also a way for us to give back to the institution that helped shape who we are."
