About Us
Gramin Aarogya Foundation is aimed to revolutionise rural healthcare and is dedicated to bridging the healthcare gap in underserved regions of rural India, focusing in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh on priority basis. The Foundation proposes to establish a network of telemedicine-enabled primary healthcare clinics at the tehsil and village level, providing affordable, accessible, and quality healthcare to rural populations. Through advanced teleconsultation technology, diagnostic support, and community-based health services, this project aims to serve over 50,00,000 rural residents annually while contributing to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing.
Mission
To bridge the healthcare gap in rural communities with affordable, accessible, and technology-enabled solutions.
Vision
A healthier rural India where no patient is deprived of medical care due to distance or poverty.
The Need
The Rural Healthcare Gap
- 65% of India’s population lives in villages, but only ~20% of doctors serve there; many CHCs/PHCs face doctor shortages.
- Lack of private healthcare infrastructure in rural India.
- Patients travel 30–50 km for basic care.
- Limited diagnostics cause delayed treatment and higher mortality; routine lab tests often unavailable.
- Digital divide among remaining rural populations; elders hesitate to travel for assistance.
- Bed-ridden/old-age patients need door-step telemedicine support.
- Regular health assistance in rural schools ensures a healthier next generation.
- Need to sensitise adolescent girls on hygiene and sanitary pad usage.
Why CSR Support Matters
Corporate partnership can empower rural communities with primary healthcare at their doorstep, fulfilling Schedule VII of the Companies Act (Health, Poverty, Education, SDGs). With CSR support, we plan to open clinics at each tehsil/Mamlatdar level—targeting 500+ clinics—and leverage India Post as delivery points (approximately 19,300 post offices) across Gujarat and Rajasthan.
All revenue generated will fund local social causes including monthly free sanitary pad distribution in schools, regular school health check-ups, and distribution of school bags and stationery kits to government school students.
