Inception: 2016

Under the Healthcare domain, Deepastambha Charitable Trust runs Niramayaa—a preventive health program that brings basic check-ups, food-based nutrition, and health awareness to rural and urban communities.

Many people in rural areas only visit a doctor when an illness becomes severe. Niramayaa changes this by bringing basic check-ups directly to community doorsteps. By identifying health risks early and offering practical, low-cost dietary solutions, the project helps families stay healthy without fear of heavy hospital bills.

Testimonials

“हणमंतवाडी येथे केवळ ५० रुपयांत स्तनाचा व गर्भाशयाच्या मुखाचा कर्करोगाची तपासणी करून घेण्याची संधी मिळाली, याचा मला खूप आनंद आहे. माझ्यासारख्या अनेक महिलांना आर्थिक अडचणीमुळे अशा तपासण्या करणे शक्य होत नाही. या शिबिरामुळे महिलांच्या आरोग्याबाबत जागरूकता निर्माण होण्यास सुद्धा मदत झाली. आमच्यासाठी कमी दरात या तपासण्या उपलब्ध करून दिल्याबद्दल दीपस्तंभ चॅरिटेबल ट्रस्ट पुणे या संस्थेचे मनापासून आभार!”
