  • To be well versed of the entire medical issues and troubles faced by the underprivileged communities specially women and children,
  • To provide free medical relief to all those families who due to their poor economic condition & strict traditional norms are not able to approach specialists for appropriate medical treatment & ultimately suffered hazardous infections
  • To have the complete info about the other serious illness common among villagers and refer them to the referral centers for the medical tests.
