The Melcom Group of Companies marked the Fifth Anniversary of the passing of its Founder and Chairman, Mr. Bhagwan Ramchand Khubchandani, by donating GH₵40,000 worth of food and educational items to four selected institutions.
The event, which took place at the Melcom Head Office in the North Industrial Area, served as a tribute to the philanthropic vision of the late founder, whose leadership focused heavily on the pillars of health and education.
The beneficiary institutions; Amanorkrom Presby JHS Library, Dzorwulu Special School, Akropong School for the Blind, and Accra Wesley Girls School, received a comprehensive package of support designed to address both student welfare and academic resources.
The items included bags of rice, corned beef, and light meat tuna, alongside packs of bottled water.
The Group also provided school bags, exercise books, and a wide selection of reading books to support the students’ academic journeys.
Mr Ramesh Sadhwani, Joint Managing Director of Melcom Group of Companies, said the gestures was an extension of the Melcom Care Foundation’s mission, which had seen over GH₵25 million invested in community projects across Ghana since 2013.
He noted that the late Chairman viewed education and health as critical sectors that impacted every facet of society, a belief that continued to guide the Group’s corporate social responsibility strategy.
“This strategy has previously included the distribution of 70 medical refrigerators to over 50 hospitals and the collection of approximately 11,500 units of blood for the National Blood Bank through annual drives,” Mr Sadhwani said.
He noted that beyond this immediate donation, the Group reaffirmed its commitment to education through its existing scholarship schemes for employees’ children.
It is also in partnership with the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UNIMAC), which honours the late founder through the Best Graduating Journalism Student Award.
The ceremony was attended by key management figures, including Madam Sonya Sadhwani, Group Executive Director, who assisted in the presentation of the items to the schools.
Ms Eunice Agyeiwaa Marfo, the Girl Child Coordinator of Amanorkrom Presby JHS, commended the Melcom Group for their consistent support, noting that the food and educational materials would significantly alleviate some of the challenges faced by the students.
