For five decades, the Singhvi Charitable Trust has stood as a pillar of Sugal Group's commitment to giving back, inspired by the philosophy of "Live and Let Live" and serving the community with consistency and care.
Inspired by Bhagwan Mahaveer's timeless philosophy of “Live and Let Live”, Shri Sugalchand Jain established the Singhvi Charitable Trust in 1974, with an unwavering commitment to support the deserving and uplift the underprivileged. The Trust undertakes various impactful, community-driven initiatives and continues to address key social challenges.

The Singhvi Charitable Trust has been conducting free dental, eye and general health camps for poor and underserved people since 1974. In Chennai, regular camps are organised in rural areas with limited access to healthcare, while medical camps are also conducted in villages of Pali district, Rajasthan. Free medicines, spectacles, food, consultations and other basic medical services are provided. The Trust is recognized by the LIMCA BOOK OF RECORDS (2009) for extensive free spectacle distribution.
Since 2001, the Trust has been providing financial assistance to poor and needy patients requiring heart surgery. Assistance of ₹15,000 per patient is provided towards surgery. The Trust also provides need-based financial support for other medical treatment and medicines. This support helps economically weaker patients obtain treatment that they may otherwise be unable to afford.
The Trust provides monthly pensions to needy and destitute members of the Jain community, particularly in Chennai and Rajasthan. The assistance is aimed at helping elderly and financially vulnerable persons meet their basic needs with greater dignity and independence.
The Trust established Mahaveer Ashray, a palliative care centre at Sriperumbudur in 2017, and handed it over to the Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, on 22 June 2017. The centre was inaugurated by Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, on 12 April 2018. It provides care to terminally ill patients, with focus on pain relief, comfort and dignity. Patients receive food, medicines, physiotherapy, pain management, psychological support and terminal care under the medical and technical guidance of the Cancer Institute, Adyar.
The Trust supports animal welfare through Jinendra Jeevdaya Kendra, a large animal shelter at Uthukottai near Chennai. The centre provides shelter to cattle, pigs, horses, monkeys, cats, dogs, sheep, mules and goats. Many of these animals have been rescued from cruelty, illegal slaughter, abuse or abandonment. The centre provides them with food, shelter and care in a natural and safe environment.
