Our community Health initiatives offer doorstep healthcare to remote rural areas and city slums, at a token cost along with regular health behaviours change drives. These initiatives have plot about positive changes in the vital Health Parameters in the region. The dedicated team of doctors and staff, with the sound network of Arogya Banks and Arogya Mitra (Health Volunteers) deliver the sustainable health solutions.

Community Health

Our education initiatives facilitate holistic development and promote inclusion for the marginalized sections. The path finding project in Child Education has set precedence in formal pre-primary education. The complimentary education projects for the slum and remote village students are the first of its kind and relentlessly being implemented by a band of zealous volunteers. The Special Education, again, is an important all-in-one project serving many.

Education

In this era professional skills are important for self-employment. Daily struggles to make ends meet, coupled with lack of employment & career opportunities are the reasons of poverty. That's why we started short term skill development courses for free or at a token cost. Our training in Catering, Tailoring, Electrician, Beautician, Computers and Paramedical Courses are tailor-made for the market needs & provide effective solutions for unemployment.

Skill Development

NRM wing of SPMESM is working with the most adversely affected section of the Global Climate Change- the small and marginal farmers for their Water and Soil Conservation. The Marathawada region of Maharashtra is infamous for its recurrent droughts and its consequences on the human life. Keeping in mind the need of the region, we have started multiple watershed development and micro-irrigation projects that have led to farmers seeing more than 100% increase in their produce.

Natural Resources Management

While working for rural health, SPMESM came across the various root causes and decided to work on them, too. Climate change effects, socio- political problems and volatile markets for agro produce have been contributing towards Agrarian Crisis & agro- based livelihood. Farmer Producers’ Companies, Agricultural Extension projects, Market Linkages and other initiatives by SPMESM are making a significant difference in the lives of farmers.

Sustainable Development

Women and girls in the semi urban and rural areas are victims of orthodox beliefs and practices that form a vicious cycle inhibiting growth, leading to further complications in adulthood. That's why we started customized & innovative initiatives to cater to their specific needs. These programs saw women from slums uniting to resolve their own issues displaying leadership.

Women Empowerment

Over years SPMESM has developed strong communication platforms with the intention of Behavioural Change Communication (BCC), an essential component of every developmental project. The latest and important tool is our Community Radio- Radio Deogiri 91.2 FM is already popular with its blend infotainment and awareness programs.

Community Radio

Answering to the SOS call in any disaster, SPMESM has been always on the forefront of Relief Activities.      It has been acknowledged for its selfless and organized relief and rehab work during the early Covid-19 Lock down and Vaccination Drives. It also has been providing fresh, healthy meals to 300 elderly citizen everyday at their doorstep.

"This is the first Diwali in last 15 years that we’re celebrating with true joy!”
Sayaji (name changed) became an addict of Alcohol 15 years ago. His health, finances and relations were tarnished. The family also had to go through a lot of sufferings. They went from pillar to post to free him off the addiction but all in vain!
Couple of years ago, SPMESM’s Arunodaya Mental Health Project was started in their village. Along with other addicts, Team Arunodaya provided treatment and rigorous counseling support to Sayaji. After 8/9 months’ efforts Sayaji finally could free himself from the vicious cycle of the addiction. More than a year now, he has remained away from alcohol which is a major victory for him! 
When Arunodaya team met his wife in a routine visit recently, she shared the feelings with tearful eyes!
Sayaji now has regained his communication powers, too. A good example of it- he single handedly convinced all 30 Manas Mitras (Mental Health Volunteers of 30 villages) to enrol themselves to Postal Life Insurance Policy!
Arunoday Mental Health Project is working hard to improve the mental health status and de- addiction. Thanks to Wipro Foundation for their ardent support!

"आम्हाला आज १५ वर्षांनंतर खरी समाधानानं दिवाळी साजरी करता आली बघा..!”
सयाजी (नांव बदलले आहे) यांना १५ वर्षांपासून मद्यपानाचे व्यसन जडले होते. त्यापायी नोकरी, कुटुंब, आरोग्य सगळ्यांची वाताहत झाली. नातेवाईकांनी खूप ठिकाणी नेऊन आणलं, पण काही फरक  पडला नाही. त्यांच्या गावात सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळाच्या अरुणोदय मानसिक आरोग्य प्रकल्पाचं काम दोन वर्षांपासून सुरु झालं. परिसरातील इतर मद्यपाशाच्या रुग्णांप्रमाणे सयाजींवरही अरुणोदय टीमने उपचार व समुपदेशन सुरु केले. ८/९ महिन्यांच्या सतत प्रयत्नांनंतर सयाजी व्यसनमुक्त झाले. आणि आता जवळजवळ एक- सव्वा वर्ष होऊन गेलं; ते व्यसनांपासून संपूर्णपणे दूर राहिले आहेत!
त्यामुळं यावर्षीची त्यांची व  परिवाराची दिवाळी खऱ्या अर्थानं समाधानाची गेली. फॅालो- अप साठी टीम गेली तेंव्हा त्यांच्या पत्नीनं गहिवरून हे उद्गार काढले!
व्यसनमुक्तीनंतर सयाजींनी स्वतःला सकारात्मक कामांत गुंतवून घेतलं आहे. त्यांनी अरूणोदय प्रकल्पाच्या सर्व मानसमित्रांना (३० गावांतली मानसिक आरोग्याचे स्वयंसेवी कार्यकर्ते) पोस्टल जीवन विम्याचे महत्व पटवून सांगितले आणि सर्वांनी पॅालिसी काढूनही घेतली!
अरूणोदय प्रकल्प ३० गावांत व्यसनमुक्ती व मानसिक आरोग्यावर महत्त्वाचं काम करत आहे. विप्रो फाऊंडेशनच्या सहकार्याने हा प्रकल्प छत्रपती संभाजीनगर जिल्ह्यात आम्ही राबवत आहोत!

कोई दुख 
मनुष्य के साहस से बड़ा नहीं..
वही हारा 
जो लड़ा नहीं..
(कुँवर नारायण)
… But this courage (साहस) is displayed when one gets the assurance that someone is firmly standing by them!
Many girls have to face the unfortunate sexual misconduct and abuse. Fear of defamation, violence prevent them from opening up or resisting to such abuses. Many a times, they just prefer to burry the incidences bearing its consequences on the personality. 
SPMESM’s Kishori Vikas Project recently had an event in a big school for pre- adolescent and adolescent girls. Samvadinis (female facilitators) and female trainers/ counsellors discussed a variety of topics related to abuses and sexual misconducts. They used innovative communication methods like ‘role- play’ to elaborate the complexity of the topic. 
As a result, 5 girls came forward at the end of session with tears in their eyes and shared that they too were subjected to such misconducts and had not spoken about it before! The school session had given them the courage to speak up!
A swift follow up action by our tram, school administration and family members resolved the issue and the girls were relieved of fear and shame!
This year, KVP is working with 24 schools. Over years, we have been empowering thousands of adolescent girls in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar City and Rural areas on changes in adolescence and coping skills. The range of the awareness programs is from ‘Good Touch- Bad Touch’ awareness to ‘Management of emotions in adolescence’
Thanks to Minex Foundation, Mumbai for their ardent support!

… पण हे साहस येतं ते ‘आपल्यासोबत कोणीतरी आहे’ या आश्वासक भावनेतून!अनेक मुलींना लैंगिक दुर्व्यवहाराला सामोरं जावं लागतं. कित्येक वेळा बदनामीच्या, हिंसेच्या भितीमुळं मुली त्याविरूद्ध आवाज उठवणं टाळतात. इतकंच नाही, तर कुठं या अन्यायाची वाच्यताही करत नाहीत. 
सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळाच्या किशोरी विकास प्रकल्पाने नुकताच एका मोठ्या शाळेतील किशोरींसाठी किशोरवयातील बदल व त्यांचं समायोजन यावर कार्यक्रम घेतला होता. प्रकल्पाच्या संवादिनी व समन्वयक ताईंनी मुलींसाठी लैंगिक दुर्व्यवहार, हिंसा व दुजाभाव यावर सत्र घेतलं. त्यात ‘रोल प्ले’ आदींच्या माध्यमातून त्यांना विश्वास दिला की कुठलाही दुर्व्यवहार सहन करून घ्यायचा नाही. 
सत्राच्या शेवटी पाच किशोरी डोळ्यांत पाणी घेऊन ताईंना भेटायला आल्या. त्या सर्वांना दुर्दैवाने अशा दुर्व्यवहाराला सामोरं जावं लागलं होतं. किशोरी प्रकल्पाने बळ दिल्याने त्या पहिल्यांदाच याविषयी कुणाशी तरी बोलत होत्या!
प्रकल्पाच्या कार्यकर्त्या- शाळा व्यवस्थापन- पालक यांच्या समन्वयाने त्वरित कार्यवाही झाली. मुली भयमुक्त झाल्या. 
यावर्षी एकूण २४ शाळांतून ‘गुड टच- बॅड टच’ पासून ते थेट ‘किशोरवयात भावनांचे व्यवस्थापन’ पर्यंतच्या सर्व विषयांवर मुलींसोबत खुली चर्चा होते आहे. 
गेली अनेक वर्षे मुंबईच्या Minex Foundation च्या सहकार्याने छत्रपती संभाजीनगर शहर व ग्रामीण परिसरातील हजारो मुलींचं समुपदेशन व सक्षमीकरण करण्याचं काम किशोरी विकास प्रकल्प करत आहे

Sanjivani was one of the less privileged girls from  SPMESM’s project areas, who was on the verge of giving up education. There wasn’t any formidable arrangement and the family couldn’t afford any. 
SPMESM’s Project Ashish came to her rescue. It picks up needy boys and girls for vocational training at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Sanjivani, too, could pursue her Paramedical Skills Course and subsequently got a job as a Patient Assistant. She now works at SPMESM’s Shri Guruji Mobile Clinic Project. 
Her father had to give up the irrigation pipeline laying work due to lack of money. Sanjivani, with her salaries, proudly help her father complete that. With her, the family has become self reliant!
Every year, project Ashish sponsors stay, food and vocational training for 50 rural girls in Paramedical Skills and 50 boys for Industry related skills. All of them get placements immediately. 
Thanks to Canpack India Pvt Ltd for making this possible!

वह प्रदीप जो दीख रहा है झिलमिल, दूर नहीं है..
थककर बैठ गये क्या भाई! मंजिल दूर नहीं है..
(रामधारी सिंह दिनकर)
संजीवनी; सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळाची कामं चालतात त्या दुष्काळी भागातील एका गावातील युवती. घरची प्रतिकूल परिस्थिती आणि जवळ उच्च शिक्षणाची व्यवस्था नाही. त्यामुळं प्रगतीत अडथळे ठरलेले. 
सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळाच्या आशिष प्रकल्पाने संजीवनी आणि तिच्यासारख्या गरजू व जिद्दीने शिक्षण घेऊ इच्छिणाऱ्या ग्रामीण मुला- मुलींसाठी व्यावसायिक शिक्षणाची व्यवस्था केली. संजीवनीचं छत्रपती संभाजीनगरात राहणं, भोजन आणि रूग्णसहाय्यक प्रशिक्षण वर्षभर या प्रकल्पाद्वारे पूर्ण झालं व लगेच तिला नोकरीही मिळाली. सध्या ती मंडळाच्याच श्रीगुरुजी मोबाईल क्लिनिक मध्ये नोकरी करते. 
तिच्या वडीलांनी शेतीतील पाईपलाईन पैशांअभावी अर्धवट सोडली होती. संजीवनीने समंजसपणे आपल्या पगारातून हे काम पूर्ण करायला मदत केली. तिच्याबरोबरच घरही आत्मनिर्भर होत आहे. 
आशिष प्रकल्पामुळे दरवर्षी ६० मुली आरोग्य विषयातील व ५० मुलं यांत्रिक विषयातील प्रशिक्षण पूर्ण करतात व स्वतःच्या पायावर उभी राहतात. 
या प्रकल्पाला महत्त्वपूर्ण सहकार्य कॅनपॅक इंडिया प्रा. लि यांच लाभलं आहे.
