Commemoration of Navsari Oxygen Plant Installation
Navsari Oxygen Plant
The Naik Family Foundation installed an oxygen plant during the height of the Delta Covid wave in India. During the Covid wave hospitals were overwhelmed with patients in need of Oxygen and many didn't have enough. Oxygen plants provide high amounts of Oxygen to the hospital they are installed in and additionally any excess oxygen can be canned and sent to other hospitals in need. The plant was installed at the MGG Hospital in Navsari which has 230 beds.
Improvements to Hansapore Elementary
Paragjibhai Naik was from the village of Hansapore and did everything he could to give back to the village that he grew up in. In order to continue his legacy the Naik Family Foundation partnered with the Rotary Club to make key additions to Hansapore Elementary like a playground, herb garden, smart board, and water purifier.

Medical Camps
Blood donation Camp in Navsari
The Naik Family Foundation is organizing a Blood Donation Camp this month. A large turnout is expected. In the past, the Naik Family Foundation partnered with CBCC India to host two medical camps in Navsari. In 2020 they gathered 90 cancer patients who had limited medical access to a checkup. In 2021 they brought a van that tests for 7 different types of cancer to screen over 70 patients who had limited medical access. One patient tested positive and was treated at Nirali Hospital.
The Naik Family Foundation will soon be having a medical camp for young students with limited medical access as well as a sickle cell testing camp for the Adivasi people who are prone to the disease.
Providing Notebooks
Over the last two years, the Naik Family Foundation has provided notebooks for elementary school children in Navsari. They have provided over 15,000 notebooks so far and they will continue to deliver these notebooks once a year going forward. The notebooks contain 200 pages for the students to use and the inside covers commemorate Prakashbhai, Paragji Naik's second-oldest son, and former Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai.
