New Delhi: Nita Mukesh Ambani, chairperson and founder of the Reliance Foundation, was on Saturday presented the Miss World Foundation’s ‘Humanitarian Award’ as recognition to her commitment to philanthropy and social work.
Julia Morley, chairman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, presented the award at the 71st edition of the Miss World 2024 pageant at the Jio World Convention Centre, which came to India after a 28-year gap.
“Nita Ambani, you are known across the world for all the kindness…You do so much,” said Morley, as she presented the award.
“This honour is not just a personal achievement, but a testament to the power of compassion and service that binds us…Throughout my journey I have been guided by the timeless Indian principles of Satyam Shivam Sundaram, representing truth, goodness and beauty. Satyam embraces the truth.
The pursuit of truth is a spiritual journey marked by a quest for purity, integrity and sincerity of purpose. Shivam nurtures the divinity within. I have experienced divinity in the smiles and laughter of millions of children through the work of our Reliance Foundation. Sundaram celebrates the beauty that surrounds us. Find joy in every moment and fill your heart with gratitude and appreciation. Use beauty as a force for positive change,” said Ambani.
Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic was declared the winner of the title. Sini Shetty, the winner of Femina Miss India 2022, who was representing India, bowed out of the contest after a top-eight finish in the competition, which featured 112 contenders from around the world.
