Projects:

Anandwan (Established 1951):

Anandwan serves as the headquarters of Maharogi Sewa Samiti. Dr. Vikas Amte, Baba Amte's older son and his wife, Dr. Bharati Amte are the caretakers of this large community. Anandwan has grown over the last 50 years to become what is perhaps the largest community of people affected by leprosy and physically challenged people in the world. Anandwan is home to those who have been rejected by society. They were the lonely, vulnerable, wounded and abandoned; they were the lost, the last, the least. At Anandwan, every one of them is welcomed with open arms, to stay as long as they wish. More...

The Samiti's work with the primitive Madia Gond tribal people has gained international recognition. More...
