Nargis Dutt Memorial Foundation was established in 1981 in memory of Nargis Dutt, a famous movie star of India. She was a very caring human being whose dream was to see that the best available medical care can also be provided to people who are poor and needy.
While undergoing specialized medical treatment in New York for cancer, Mrs. Dutt articulated her dream and repeatedly expressed her regret that the medical care that she was able to receive was unavailable in her motherland. Her deep concern for the sick and disabled led her to set definite goals toward making improved medical services available to the poorest in India. She already had considerable work to her credit in the care, rehabilitation and education of handicapped children in India. Unfortunately, she did not live long enough to see the evolution of her dream. Her husband Sunil Dutt and many concerned friends are pursuing the goals that keep Nargis' dream alive.
