Serving the Unserved, Reaching the Unreached!
   
         
   
 
   
 
When children in the country suffer the constant wrath of hunger, disease, illiteracy and abuse beyond what their tender years can bear, we need to question ourselves why such a situation exists and why it cannot be changed.
Swami Vivekananda rightly pointed out the root cause of such an adversity in society when he said – “We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”
His thought provoked a sense of hope and gave us the direction to beckon change for a better tomorrow. Following his ideals, my team and I have made a solemn pledge that children must be relieved of the heavy burden of despair which they carry in their hearts, born of poverty which spirals around them and drowns in the whirlpool of hopelessness.
Upon the moral foundation laid by many noble human beings before us.  The Association for Awareness on Rural and Tribal Health Institute, AARTHI was founded 2 decades ago. It was not as simple as a thought  translating into reality over night. Two things were required for the organization to function successfully. First is to identify what is to be done and second is to implement the complete task with the spirit and ensure that the benefits reach the needy in its entirety. The obvious next question in ones mind is how do we achieve this goal?
To achieve this, in – depth survey was done in the rural and tribal areas which revealed that a lot has to be done in all areas to achieve equity and social justice to prevail in society. For, example there is need for educating and empowering people, particularly the most vulnerable sections of the society – the women and children. There is need for building infrastructural facilities, technology and awareness for sustained growth in all sectors of the society. It was also felt that all these objectives can be achieved only with people’s involvement.
   
   
 
Since its inception Aarthi has come a long way with great success stories to its credit also facing hardships and barriers along the journey. It has been a tremendous learning curve for everyone involved. I feel very happy and proud to say that the Association has achieved a lot in this directions since its inception, as is evident by the flow-charts of accomplishments of the past twenty years. Achievements not only give us satisfaction, but also inspire us to take up more tasks and refine dedication. We would like and specialize in the area of disaster management when the constraints of funds and other resources are eliminated to the satisfaction levels of our team.
 
I take this opportunity to humbly acknowledge the valuable support of my associates, donors, government and non government organizations, each and every person who is in some way connected with the Association, for all they have done hitherto and hope to receive the same in future as well.
