Health problems in the remote villages are mainly due to extreme ignorance and poverty. Therefore, medical services alone are inadequate to bring about total transformation of our villages. Suitable socio-economic, cultural and religrous activities are also necessary for attaining economic self-sufficiency and moral rejuvenation. For this purpose, the non-medical associate members actively engage themselves in such activities along with the like-minded local youth organisations, motivating them to such activities.
A village is chosen for rendering such promotive services as per the following criteria:
(1) Need : Backwardness and poverty of the area.
(2) Location : Existence of communication links with Headquarters.
(3) Feasibility : This will depend upon ability and resources.
(4) Workability : To work in co-operation with some local club or social organisation.

Prevention is better than cure. In this regard, with the assistance of the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, and following W.H.O. guidelines, this Organisation has formulated a detailed project of a total Preventive Programme. This includes the Sangha's efforts in the areas of Mother and Child Healthcare, Immunization, Family Welfare, Nutrition Supplementation Therapy, Environmental Sanitation, Drinking Water and School Health Programmes.
The organisation is imparting para-medical training to literate youth volunteers for follow up action in the adopted villages.
Thus, it is intended by the Sangha to build up in every adopted village, a permanent infrastructure to continuously monitor the health needs of the village.

The Curative Services constitute an important part of the Sangha's activities too. Curative Services cover the patients treated at the clinics run by the Sangha at its centres. Medicines are distributed free to the poor and needy. Priority is given to children so as to eliminate the poverty-linked diseases like malnutrition and vitamin-deficiency. Eye camps and other medicals camps are organized from time to time.
Besides, there is a Mobile Healthcare Unit equipped with facilities like X-Ray, pathological laboratory, audio-visual system and medicine counter, manned by a team of doctors and other hands.
