Anandwan, literally, Forest of Joy, located near Warora in Chandrapur district in the state of Maharashtra, India, is an ashram, and a community rehabilitation centre for leprosy patients and the disabled from downtrodden sections of society. It was founded in 1948 by noted social activist, Baba Amte. He developed Anandwan to be a self-contained ashram. Residents are self-sufficient in terms of basic subsistence through agriculture. Baba Amte also shaped Anandwan as an environmentally aware community to have practices in place for energy utilization, waste recycling and minimizing usage of natural resources that might otherwise lead to their depletionAnandwan today spreads over 200 hectares and has two hospitals, a university, an orphanage, a school for the blind and a technical wing. More than 5,000 people are dependent on it for their livelihood. | ||
Hemalkasa, The Lok Biradari Prakalp is located near Hemalkasa a village in Bhamragad taluka. Lok Biradari Prakalp (LBP) is a social project of the Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora involving a hospital, a school and an animal orphanage. It was started on 23 December 1973, by the social worker Baba Amte in 1973 for integrated development of Madia Gond. It is situated at Hemalkasa. There were hardly any roads worth mentioning. The area would remain cut off from civilization during the monsoons and their aftermath for about 6 months. Although the conditions were daunting, Baba's younger son Dr. Prakash, a surgeon and his wife Mandakini, an anesthetist volunteered to work among the Madias. Over 1973-74, by learning the tribal language and by their compassionate behavior the doctor couple gained the confidence of the tribals and established a reputation for serving them. The Indian government has also awarded them the Padmashree, the highest national civilian award. The first of its kind in India, the 'Amte's Animal Ark' has a fascinating beginning. | ||
Somnath is spread across 1300 acres, located in the lust green forests of Tadoba. Situated 54 kilometers north-east of Chandrapur, it is about 100 km south of Anandwan. The heavenly place Somnath is the granary of MSS. The Somnath Project began as a leprosy rehabilitation center in 1967. Baba's vision was that cured leprosy patients would till the land and produce grain for the entire Maharogi Sewa Samiti family. | ||
