The astounding response from rural & urban poor has strengthened our beliefs and efforts. With an Air of Sacrifice in the complete atmosphere, doctors have been able to provide specialized care to poor patients as well could expand its activities, qualitatively & quantitatively.

Building of Dr. Hedgewar Hospital – Epicenter of the Social Activities of trust

Our vision is We will provide services, Medical & Social, to common man which will be Excellent, Expanding, and Transparent and with Humanity.

Creating Harmonious, Strong, self-reliant and Nationalistic societythrough various projects deriving inspiration from Sangh.

To fulfill this vision, 10-bed hospital was started in 1989 by Doctors with small borrowings from their families. And then doctors decided to manage their life on subsistent income which set an example. And this is the strongest foundation of this organization.

With an Integrated Approach, trust is also running State of Art Blood Bank, Slum Health Project, Rural Health Project and Women & Child Development Programs. Considering Diverse Indian community, where ill health is the manifestation of many social factors as well as economic issues, Integrated Approach is proving to be very effective.

Trust served on this path based on certain strengths--- which are---

Due to rare combination of Quality and affordability of Health care, Ratan Tata, while inaugurating new building in 2001 said ... "The hospital is well equipped, without showing off its opulence. The Hospital is a project of the people, by the people and for the people. I wonder why we should not achieve similar success in other areas also!"

Honorable Shri.Lal krishnaji Advani blessed our organization by saying -"This organization is setting an example in Health Sector exactly as emphasized by Noble Laureate Prof. Amratya Sen. I bow down my head respectfully when I see such work, especially in Health and Education!"

Trust has reached out to slum and rural poor through its 5 Health centers. While intending to bring some social change in slums & villages, doctor is catalyst in this process of transformation leading variety of social slum improvement activities.

Faith and confidence received by these doctors is motivating tool towards their participation and realization of improvement. Now there is well-developed network of volunteers, social workers, and full time doctors to implement various programs & projects. Teamwork and dutiful attitude have made it reputed and popular in this region.

The gamut of social activities run by this trust is:

About 25% of population of Aurangabad lives in slums. We are running 3 centres in these slums through which we reach about 30% of slum population. About 1,50,000 people are connected with us by various social and medical activities. We have our own building and infrastructure at 2 centres, but it is not possible to construct a centre in each slum. We decided to reach these slums and make available best medical service at minimal possible rate. We started a mobile dispensary. It has been named as Shri. Guruji Chalachikitsalay. In mere 7 Years 4,00,000 poorest of poor slum patients have been benefited by this dispensary.

This project is covering 75500 populations from three slums of Aurangabad city. Project has been a great success up till now.
