Nita Mukesh Ambani, founder of the Reliance Foundation, received the Miss World Foundation’s ‘Humanitarian Award’ for her dedication to philanthropy and social work. Julia Morley, CEO of the Miss World Organization, presented the award at the 71st edition of the Miss World 2024 pageant held at the Jio World Convention Centre in India after 28 years.
“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.
Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in a video message, praised Ambani, stating that she embodies “beauty with a purpose.”
