Our Mission

Objectives of the Society:

  1. To receive, control, and supervise proper utilization of the income of the Foundation received from Hamdard Laboratories India and/or its resulting trusts as Qaumi/charitable income, and from any other body, person, or concern, Indian or foreign, in any form as aid, grant, or bequest, with or without any condition, to protect and promote the interests of the Society, and to safeguard the rights, or privileges and interests of all those who derive benefit from the Society.

  2. To spend the income of the Foundation only within the territories of India and only on secular objects of public charity which satisfy the following two cumulative tests:
    a) They must be objects of public charity for the benefit of all persons irrespective of caste, colour, creed, or religion, such as relief of the poor, education, medical relief, and the advancement of any other object of general public utility not involving the carrying on of any activity for profit; and
    b) They must be consistent with the principles of the true teachings of Islam. Provided, however, that in spending the income on objects of public charity, priority shall be given to the collective needs of the country or to such needs as may benefit the largest number of persons or their future generations, irrespective of religion.
