The proposed project aims to address the rehabilitation needs of treated leprosy patients and promote sustainable development in Raigad District. The project will encompass the following key components:

This will ensure comprehensive medical care, including regular OPD services, surgical ulcer treatment, physiotherapy, and medical aid splints.

The project will also include a gaushala (cow shelter) for milk production, utilizing manure for organic farming, a biogas plant, and vermicomposting.
3. Education and Residential Facilities: Establishing a residential high school with computer facilities for the children of leprosy patients, including Adivasi kids.
