How did this all start, I asked Mr Kailash Choudhry, NSS Pracharak, who is currently visiting Jakarta. After all, all great deeds start with a seed.

Mr Kailash narrated that Kailash Chand Agarwal ‘Manav’ was a witness to a dreadful road accident near Pindwada of Sirohi District in May 1976. In the accident forty persons were badly injured, of which some passed away while others were shifted to the hospital. Manav ji actively helped the accident victims in his individual capacity and was very touched by the plight of the poor patients. One such incident was when one of the patients ate only one of the three rotis provided at meal times so that he could share the other two with his hungry relatives. This led to Manav ji going from door to door on his bicycle and asking for a handful of atta (wheat flour) and making rotis every morning to distribute to the poor at the hospital.

From that humble start NSS has grown to 17 Hospitals having 1100 Beds with operation of 100 persons per day. It has one of the best Hospital in North India where 2,08,000 patients are operated Free Of Charge till date for Polio & Disability – suffering from various limb disease.

All the services of the trust are free of cost and the Sansthan is entirely run by the donations it receives. All the treatment, welfare and rehabilitation activities of Sansthan are being made possible only because of the generosity extended by the people all across the world in the form of donation.
