Establishment of School of Health Sciences
Our programmes have stressed provision of wherewithal for the poor and marginalized to earn a livelihood, escape from the clutches of abject poverty and eventually achieve social and economic mobility. As mentioned in our last annual report, only by better delivery targeting of welfare programmes, our resources can be optimally used for producing impressive results. Poverty alleviation programmes need to stress first of all improving health of the population because only healthy individuals would be able to work their way out of poverty. Health of the poor can be improved only by empowering them socially and economically in view of the gaping chasm in the health status of the poor and middle and rich classes in the country. Considering health as crucial dependent variable, our efforts should be to understand what combination of education, employment and agricultural development would be able to achieve our objective of improving the health of the poor and marginalized. Therefore, we have decided to undertake detailed research on the inter connections between the determinants of health and the expertise and experience of some of the members of the society could be tapped to create such a research and training infrastructure. Therefore, I do hope that the members would approve our objective and also would approve our proposal to apply for getting necessary exemption from the Government of India for classifying our Society as an organization capable of undertaking research dealing with the technical as well as socio-economic and ecological problems involved in poverty alleviation programmes. Our aim is to set up an inter-disciplinary integrated development research institute that would address the preventive, curative, rehabilitative and promotional aspects of health including its social, economic, ecologic and technological determinants.

One can see from the overview of the objectives and activities presented above that we are interested in establishing an institution capable of taking up training, research and service aspects of delivery of health and family welfare care services in the rural areas of India. On the basis of the rich and extensive experience in dealing with rural health and family welfare programmes of some of the members of the society, we have taken up a few research and action projects related to a few significant dimensions of delivery health care in India . It is in the fitness of things and it is the most opportune time at the growth path of the society, that a consolidation of the experiences of the members of the society in training, research and services needs to be facilitated by developing an institution of excellence of international standards related to public health and medicine where training of both medical and paramedical personnel can be undertaken in a rural setting so as to impart a comprehensive, rural service oriented training of medical and paramedical personnel and vital research related to health policy and program formulation and evaluation can be undertaken..
