Jamshedpur: Tata Workers’ Union (TWU) has dedicated a 114-bedded state-of-the-art Rest House for cancer patients and their attendants, providing much-needed accommodation and support to those undergoing treatment. The facility, envisioned through the sustained efforts of the union, is aimed at offering a comfortable and supportive stay to patients and their families during a challenging phase of their lives.
The Rest House was jointly inaugurated by D. B. Sundara Ramam, Vice President, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, and Sanjeev Kumar Choudhary (Tunnu Choudhary), President, Tata Workers’ Union, on the occasion of Diwali.
Equipped with 114 beds, modern amenities and cabin facilities, the Rest House is designed to provide a comfortable residential environment for cancer patients and their family members. The initiative is expected to ease the accommodation-related difficulties faced by patients who travel to Jamshedpur for cancer treatment.
The project has been jointly funded by Timken Foundation, Tata Steel and Tata Steel Foundation (TSF), while Tata Workers’ Union will be responsible for its operation and implementation.
The initiative reflects a collaborative effort involving the three funding partners and the union to extend support to cancer patients beyond medical treatment. Tata Steel’s contribution and continued support have played an important role in bringing the project to fruition.
The inauguration was attended by Satish Singh, General Secretary, Tata Workers’ Union, Shailesh Singh, Deputy President, other office-bearers and several Union Committee Members (UCMs).
