સુશ્રી ઈન્દુમતીબેન નગીનદાસ સંઘવી
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावक: |
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुत: ||
"Weapons cannot cut It (the soul), nor can fire burn It; water cannot wet It, nor can the wind dry It."

"Indumatiben Sanghavi was a great philanthropist. I did not know her personally as I had met her only once when she was sick. She gave a lot to Shri K K SHAH SABARKANTHA AROGYA MANDAL as a donation. The hospital benefitted a lot of poor people. I believe charity to the poor is truly serving the ALMIGHTY. May her soul rest in peace and the HEAVENS shower their choicest Blessings to this pious soul."

"With the passing of Indumatiben, a social worker, a respected lady of Saurashtra, and a worthy daughter of Amreli, the society, and especially the Vatrak Hospital, has suffered an irreplaceable loss. Her invaluable contribution, spirit of service, and humanitarian work for the society will always be remembered. Her connection with Vatrak Hospital, in particular, was very distinctive and unique. She was always eager and ready to ensure the development of Vatrak Hospital and that patients received the best facilities. The construction of the spacious, modern, and well-equipped assembly hall built on the Vatrak Hospital campus is a direct result of the substantial donation given by Induben. She strived day and night to wipe the tears of thousands of poor and needy people, not only in the Vatrak area but across the entire Sabarkantha region. No one who sought her help ever returned empty-handed. The simplicity of her nature, the compassion flowing from her heart, and her spirit of service brought fundamental transformation to the lives of countless people. Indumatiben's dedication to service and benevolence will always remain an inspiration to all.
We pray from the bottom of our hearts that God grants eternal peace to the departed soul."
"I felt a jolt in my heart with the eternal departure of Indumatiben. She dedicated her entire life to the service of the poorest and most marginalized people in society. She took meticulous and subtle care to ensure that every single penny of her donations was used prudently, which directly benefited thousands of needy people.
Decades ago, her unwavering bond with Vatrak Hospital was forged, and it remained intact until her last breath. With her eternal departure, I feel the loss of a close family member."

"I have been a witness to the fact that the revered Indumatiben did immense service for the needy, personally visiting remote villages in the backward areas of Amreli, Aravalli, and Sabarkantha. The Vatrak Hospital family offered her warmth, like one of their own, and Indumatiben was completely satisfied with this.Until her last breath, she maintained a perfectly pleasant and happy demeanor. A sense of contentment pervaded her face. She truly lived a divine and benevolent life.During my career, I have come into contact with many donors, but Indumatiben stood out among them all. Her loss will be permanently felt not just by Vatrak Hospital but by numerous institutions across Gujarat."

"Indumatiben's tradition of donating her personal savings and the entire inheritance received from her father to charitable work continued uninterrupted until her last breath. I estimate that she donated a total of more than 10 crore rupees across the Sabarkantha and Aravalli districts. Vatrak Sarvajanik Hospital was like her new maternal home.I met her numerous times over the last three years. She selflessly dedicated her everything for public welfare. Our entire region will forever be indebted to Indumatiben. Her beacon-like work in various fields such as health, education, girl child education, and sanitation will continue to guide future generations."

"The moment one hears the name of Indumatiben Nagindas Sanghavi, the image of a compassionate, sensitive, and affectionate figure dominates one's mind. She understood the suffering of the poor as her own pain, and the torrent of donations she unleashed serves as an example for all the esteemed members of society. Through her service, her name will forever resonate in the hearts of the people."
Kanubhai Shah
Former Honorary Secretary

"I consider it my good fortune to have had the opportunity to be close to Induben and work under her guidance for the last fifteen years. By giving substantial donations to charitable organizations without any personal interest, she has set an excellent example in society.Her personality was like a coconut: very hard on the outside, but extremely gentle on the inside! The fragrance of her service work will continue to spread for years to come."
Vasantbhai Joshi
Honorary Joint Secretary, Vatrak Hospital

"With the passing of Sushri Induben Sanghavi, the underprivileged people of society have lost a guide. Her father, Nagindas, and uncle, Laxmidas, earned a considerable amount through their adherence to Gandhian values, thrift, and planned investments. They resolved to utilize all of this only for social service. Sushri Induben also joined this endeavor and determined to use her capital for such social work. She remained steadfast in her resolve throughout her life.She generously donated to many institutions, helping them thrive. She spent the last two decades of her life with Shree K. K. Shah Hospital in Vatrak. She made this hospital her home. She gave a massive contribution to the hospital's development. She lived a life that will inspire everyone."
