About Us

Dr. Ranbahadur Johari

Our Story

Long before our formal establishment, our journey began to take shape. It was inspired by the dedicated work of Dr. Ranbahadur Johari, a compassionate gynecologist serving rural Gujarat and a recipient of the Eminent Citizen of India award. Dr. Johari's tireless efforts, including over 25,000 normal deliveries, illuminated a path toward improving life in our rural community. He became a trusted anchor, always there for the community in times of need.

Following in his father's footsteps, Dr. Johari's son embarked on a visionary journey. He imagined an organization that would be a strong pillar of support for our community—a place to nurture their hopes and dreams. Today, we proudly represent this enduring legacy, unwavering in our dedication to empower our community and guide them towards limitless possibilities.
