Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha, Puttur, has been supporting rural communities for more than a century. With partnerships such as the Vivekananda Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, VVS continues to bring essential services to underserved regions.
Many rural villages lack affordable access to medical facilities, and preventive healthcare awareness remains low. Chronic conditions often go undiagnosed due to cost barriers, and holistic health practices like Yoga and Ayurveda need to be reintroduced to communities.
To address these challenges, VVS launched NIRAAMAYA – Holistic Wellbeing & Health Camps, delivering free weekly checkups, medicines, and wellness education directly to villagers in Bannur and surrounding areas.
Project Objective
Provide free health checkups, screenings, and consultations.
Distribute essential medicines at no cost.
Promote preventive healthcare awareness.
