Chairman of the Maharatna PSU Indian Oil, Mr. A.S. Sahney has inaugurated the latest phases of two transformative social initiatives: Phase IX of Parivartan – Prison to Pride and Phase VI of Nayi Disha – Redefining the Future. These initiatives aim to uplift over 1,650 individuals in 28 prisons and 14 correctional homes across India.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Sahney highlighted Indian Oil’s commitment to fostering change and second chances for prisoners and children in correctional homes through sports and skill development. Since their inception, these programs have impacted over 7,300 individuals at 150 locations across 29 states and Union Territories, reflecting Indian Oil’s ethos of “Nation First.” Mr. Sahney also underscored complementary initiatives like the Umeed – A Hope project, which empowers inmates through fuel station employment and retail ventures, such as Tihar Jail Stores at Indian Oil outlets.

The Parivartan program, launched during India’s 75th Independence celebrations, has now reached 8,950 participants in 29 states and Union Territories, offering coaching in 10 sports along with necessary equipment. This initiative has achieved international acclaim, with inmates securing Gold and Bronze medals at the FIDE 4th Intercontinental Online Chess Championship and earning the “Chess for Freedom” award from FIDE.

Indian Oil’s efforts have also been recognized with the Sportstar Aces Chairperson Award for promoting sports for social good and the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards for Thought Leadership, reinforcing the impact of its programs on marginalized communities.
