On 26th July 2005 Entire Mumbai people faced one of the worst days in their life. Almost everyone lost something in that heavy flooded rainfall. This type of disaster never happened in the history of Mumbai.  Every person was seeking help to save their life. Many of them lost their lives, their relatives, their family members, their friends, and their entire earnings in this disaster. Thereafter many Govt. and Non-Govt. Organizations, Trusts, Societies, Social workers came forward to help people. Because of heavy rain, flood-like situations, and full of garbage, new challenges arise from epidemics. Mumbai started facing diseases like malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, etc. It is very difficult to reach each and every part of Mumbai to control this epidemic like situation. Govt. try their best but there are certain areas where no one reaches and no one takes care of them.

Pragatee foundation is one of the trusts for social, health, and education Development; find out such affected areas and organize a free medical camp, free medical distribution camp, etc. Pragatee foundation’s survey team found that there are areas where diseases are there but because of poor background, people are not able to take proper treatment and medicines. Even today there are many cases that come forward of malaria, dengue, lepto, etc. Pragatee foundation is totally non-political trust. It doesn’t have any political touch with any political party. It is a fully social body.

So on 4th Sept 2005 Pragatee foundation organized a Free medical check-up and Free medicine distribution camp at Indira Nagar 01, Near Amrit Nagar, Sai Nath Road, Opp. Datta Mandir, Ghatkopar (w), Mumbai – 86 between morning 8:00 A.M. to Evening 2:00 P.M. Pragatee foundation selected qualified doctors’ team under Dr. Pramod Nishar (M.D., Hindusabha Hospital). The team includes Dr. Baba Meshram, Mrs. Dr. Veena Meshram, Dr. Rupesh Mandaokar, and Dr. Jayendra Singam. Celebrities like Marathi Movie Actress Prema Kiran (“DHUMDHADAKA” fame), the Area corporator Mr. Kumar Pandeyji, local social workers, etc. visited and encouraged us. There were 55 volunteers and 10 Team Leaders appointed to control and manage this camp successfully.

Media channels like “C” TV and local cable channel CITI cable broadcast this event and encourage us. FM Radio channel – Radio city made an announcement about this event 3 or 4 days before during their programs. Maharashtra. Here we spend around Rs. 40,000/- (Forty Thousand Only).
