Healthcare

Healthcare continues to be one of our foremost priorities in rural and underserved regions. Our efforts are driven by our belief in ‘Swathyam-Arogyam Sanraksha’ – ensuring timely care and strengthening the reach and reliability of healthcare services for all. We are committed to making quality healthcare accessible and dependable, improving health outcomes in these regions.

Community-Based Primary and Preventive Care

Mobile Medical Units

Since 2017, we have deployed two fully equipped Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) across 41 villages in three Talukas of Panchmahal district, Gujarat. These MMUs serve as travelling clinics, bringing doctors, nurses and essential diagnostic tools directly to underserved communities with limited access to basic medical services.

The MMUs provide a comprehensive range of free outpatient services, including:

• Consultations with qualified medical professionals
• Distribution of essential medicines
• Maternal and child healthcare support
• Vaccinations and preventive diagnostics
• Basic diagnostic services
• Health education and counselling

These outpatient services often serve as the first point of contact for the community, enabling timely identification of broader health issues. Insights gathered from field activities inform further targeted interventions such as malnutrition camps and referrals for specialised treatment, helping to improve overall community health outcomes.

Health Camps

We conduct dedicated malnutrition camps focused on adolescent girls aged 7 to 19, addressing critical nutritional needs during this formative stage. Additionally, we organise early breast tumor detection camps utilising advanced iBreastExam technology, alongside cervical screening programmes to promote women’s health.

These health camps are conducted ensuring local community engagement and trust. For individuals requiring advanced treatment, we provide both financial assistance and emotional support, reinforcing our commitment to comprehensive healthcare access. Under the 4C Health Programme initiated by the Health Department of Daman, we adopted 14 villages during FY 2024–25. Our contribution to these communities includes:

• Distribution of ration kits tailored for patients suffering from anemia, tuberculosis (TB) and malnutrition
• Provision of medical support alongside health education initiatives to promote awareness and preventive care

Through these efforts, we aim to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life in these adopted villages.

Disease-Specific Medical Support

Medical Support for Chronic and Infectious Diseases

We provide targeted assistance to vulnerable patients through focused healthcare interventions, including:

• Regular supply of diabetic medication for children in Panchmahal
• Provision of nutritional supplements for tuberculosis (TB) patients, in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat
• De-addiction drives conducted by medical professionals in high-risk areas to promote recovery and improve community health

Free Dialysis Centre

We collaborated with a Foundation to provide essential medicines and consumables for their Free Dialysis Centre, which delivers life-saving dialysis treatment to underprivileged patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This partnership plays a vital role in ensuring continued access to critical care for those who would otherwise be unable to afford regular dialysis.

Education and Skill Development

We recognise that access to quality education and relevant skills is fundamental to long-term social and economic empowerment. Our initiatives are designed to address gaps in learning, infrastructure and employment readiness — particularly among marginalised communities. By focusing on inclusive, impactful programmes, we aim to build self-reliant individuals and resilient communities.

Foundational Learning and Access to basic Education

Infrastructure and School Environment

We have supported the development of schools and Anganwadi centres to create safe, engaging and inclusive learning spaces.

Electrician Entrepreneurship Training

We successfully created a professional learning platform to upskill electricians aimed at making them self-reliant and confident. Through a certified government - approved 2-day training programme collaborated with CSDC & Skill India. We partnered with local expert agencies and offered a 2 - day RPL - certified electrician training programme across 3 states covering 7 cities. Trained 2000+ electricians, followed by assessment conducted by government - recognised assessors. We secured 92% passing rate. We received excellent feedback from the electricians with a feedback score of 9.6 out of 10.

Cultural Education and Life Skills

Performing Arts and Music

To nurture holistic development and preserve cultural heritage, we offer specialised programmes including a three-year Bharatanatyam dance curriculum that fosters discipline and grace, alongside a sevenyear Classical Vocal Music program leading to Visharad certification. These initiatives cultivate artistic excellence while promoting cultural continuity and personal growth.

Self-Defence and Empowerment

To promote self-defence skills among girls in Halol, we organised a three-year martial arts training course culminating in a Black Belt certification. This year, driven by the girls’ enthusiasm, a fourth batch commenced. The programme equips participants with practical self-protection techniques, boosting their self-confidence, personal safety and overall personality development.
