Thank you, Mukesh. And well done, Isha, Akash, and Anant. Dear members of the Reliance family, our esteemed shareholders, Namaskar. Congratulations on another path-breaking year of achievements and growth. None of this would be possible without your trust, partnership, and support.
This year, Reliance Foundation enters its 16th year of dedicated service to India. Over the last 16 years, Reliance Foundation has touched the lives of over 97 million Indians across every single state of India. We work in nearly 100,000 villages—that is almost one in every sixth village of India. With a simple vision to help every village become more self-reliant, more climate-resilient, more rejuvenated, and full of opportunities and hope.
Today, I would especially like to speak about three transformative initiatives. First, a university that will raise India's global standing in higher education. We have received approval from the government of Maharashtra to establish a state private university. Our upcoming permanent campus at Dronagiri, spread across 410 acres, will be truly world-class in size, design, and excellence in academics and research. It will host seven world-class schools with a focus on AI and emerging technologies: the School of Engineering and Computing, the School of Management and Entrepreneurship, the School of Law, Governance, and Policy, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the School of Medical Science and Public Health, the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and the School of Education. The university will offer undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral programs. In line with the vision for Viksit Bharat, our university will help Mumbai transform into a knowledge city and Bharat into a knowledge power.
This year marks the first anniversary of Vantara. And this year we also laid the foundation stone of Vantara University—a global university dedicated to training the next generation of wildlife conservationists and veterinary scientists.
Second, a garden for all of us—20 million Mumbaikars to enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, build communities, and make memories. We now have a world-class team working on the master plan design for the Coastal Road Gardens. Spread across 130 acres, these gardens will be home to more than 60,000 trees, shaping a vast new green lung for Mumbai. It will feature shaded walking and cycling paths, open maidans, public gyms, children's play areas, vibrant spaces for arts and culture, and state-of-the-art facilities for sports including cricket, football, tennis, kabaddi, basketball, pickleball, and more. What Central Park is to New York, Hyde Park to London, and the Botanic Gardens to Singapore, we hope the Coastal Road Gardens will be to Mumbai.
Third, a medical city that will bring world-class healthcare to the heart of Mumbai. Reliance's plan to modernize Seven Hills Hospital marks a significant milestone. With a planned capacity of 1,500 beds, Seven Hills is envisioned to be one of Mumbai's largest hospitals, leading in clinical research, cancer care, emergency and trauma services, organ transplantation, and neurodegenerative disorders. The hospital will leverage advanced medical technologies, artificial intelligence, and digital health platforms. It will also have more than 450 beds dedicated to serving the economically weaker sections of society.
Through our education and sports for all program, we have reached more than 29 million young children and youths all over the country. This year our Reliance Foundation athletes won 386 national and international medals. As an IOC member and a proud Indian, I carry a dream very close to my heart—a dream shared by over 1.4 billion Indians—to bring the Olympic Games to India.
Reliance Foundation carries forward our founding conviction that what is good for India is good for Reliance. 16 years ago, we made a commitment to our nation. 97 million lives later, that commitment has only grown deeper, stronger, and more urgent. India's time has truly come. We are a civilization reclaiming our destiny. Thank you. Jai Hind.
