Greetings.
My name is Dr. Sheetal Amte and I work as Chief Development Officer at Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora. Our organisation was founded at Anandwan in 1949 by my grandfather, the internationally renowned social worker Baba Amte for treatment, training and rehabilitation of people afflicted with leprosy and other disabilities such as hearing and speech impaired, visually and orthopedically challenged and socially backward tribal populace through sustained and effective psycho-socio-economic rehabilitation.
MSS’ core belief has always been to give marginalized individuals a “Chance” and not just “Charity” by enabling them to engage in economically productive activities thereby regaining their lost sense of dignity.
MSS headquarters at Anandwan, a cooperative village located in the drylands of eastern part of Maharashtra State, which practices sustainable rural development and community living. Its achievement has laid stress on humane, non-exploitative self-sufficiency. MSS advocates a location-specific and decentralized development model, which grows organically from the soil and involves the people at every stage of conception, planning and execution.
The exclusivity of MSS lies in the system where except a select few trained professionals; the organization relies extensively on ‘homegrown’ talent and expertise in various functions including management, accountancy, architecture, engineering and agriculture. The key of self-management lies in the non-bureaucratic, self-governing culture that pervades MSS where people work with a motivation, born out of a sense of belonging to a shared community.
Over last six decades, MSS has grown rapidly to become an internationally renowned institution in the field of social work, housing the largest community of leprosy afflicted and people with disabilities in India and perhaps, in the world. Till date the organization has qualitatively enhanced the lives of over 2.4 million disadvantaged people.
Every year we conduct many small to medium community action programs through volunteers and interns from various reputed colleges such as TISS, SPJIMR, SIMC,SNDT, SRCC, IITs etc. These projects have been very useful for the disadvantaged community that we serve.
These projects give the students a vast experience in inclusive education, community health, leprosy, dairy technology, livelihood generation environment and youth empowerment programs. Through these projects students get a perspective on handling community action programs, mobilising resources in resource constrained areas, working with sensitive issues at the grassroot and unleash leadership qualities in them.
Like every year, this year also we are inviting applications from interns from various colleges to drive our community projects.
Kindly let us know if students from your reputed institutions will be interested to join us to be changemakers at grassroot level.
For more information, we shall be pleased to send you some books, films and literature about our institution if you could provide us your address.
We look forward to your positive response.
Warm regards,
Dr. Sheetal Amte
