Event Summary

Joymoti, a 53-year-old female elephant, was swept away by floodwaters in India — Nagaland during the second week of July and rescued by local communities with government assistance. She sustained multiple injuries, including wounds, a damaged right eye, and a pre-existing leg fracture. After receiving initial local care, she was airlifted to Vantara in Jamnagar, Gujarat, for specialised veterinary treatment. This air transport of an elephant for hospital care is a first-of-its-kind undertaking in India. Vantara, founded by Mukesh Ambani, Executive Director of Reliance Industries, is providing the treatment. Additionally, Vantara has proposed establishing three wildlife veterinary care centres in India — Assam, including a dedicated elephant centre, to be operated by the India — Forest Department.
