The vision for the Centre for Social Outreach and Tribal Welfare is built around one of the fundamental precepts of Ayurveda: treat the suffering patient as the vaidya’s own child. Maitri , friendship and Karuna, compassion, are two fundamental principles espoused by this ancient branch of medicine and have been uniformly embraced at all AVP centres. At AVP Pathanjalipuri, this vision is transformed into the Centre for Social Outreach and Tribal Welfare
The centre is primarily engaged in two activities:
A weekly clinic for the tribals and periodic medical camps in rural areas has been an ongoing activity. Over the years, the centre has reached out to a sizeable population of the locals and has become a thriving centre for quality medical assistance.
The Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation is a registered, Non-Profit service organisation dedicated to bringing education & village development to rural India. The overriding philosophy is to take a holistic approach to social and economic development.
The Ekal movement is the largest grass roots, non-government education movement operating in remote and tribal villages of India. Camps are conducted in our campus, with the objective of giving awareness programs to tribal people and village group.
AVP Pathanjalipuri partners with Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation and conducts free medical camps at various locations for the benefit of the surrounding tribal and economically disadvantaged population. Areas include
The centre is also actively engaged in empowering the youth and has embarked on several training programmes to train tribal youth on taking care of medicinal plants. The initiatives have also resulted in helping them become Grama Swaasthya Sevak (Village Health Volunteers) in association with Arogya Foundation.
Our commitment to the community is made possible through our deep understanding and work with various partners in service. Our service impact touches several interior communities and geographic areas. We deeply value our partnerships with the government and private institutions, social work models who lend us support by working in tandem with our vision for a healthier world.
