  • Lok Biradari Prakalp ______
    LOK BIRADARI PRAKALP ____________________________________________________________________________________ Background: Lok Biradari Prakalp (LBP), a project of the Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora, was started by the legendary social worker Baba Amte in 1973 for integrated development of Madia-Gond , the primitive tribals of Bhamragad in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, India. Baba’s younger son Dr. Prakash Amte and his wife Dr. Mandakini Amte are running the project since 1974, forfeiting the opportunity of lucrative medical practice. Many dedicated volunteers like Vilas & Renuka Manohar, Gopal & Prabha Phadnis, Dada & Baban Panchal, Manohar & Sandhya Yempalwar etc. since then, have joined LBP. Dr. Digant and Aniket sons of Prakash and Mandakini and their wives Dr.Anagha & Samiksha respectively have also joined LBP. The following are the current activities of LBP. (A) The Hospital – Medical Services The MSS's Tribal Welfare Programmes have gained international recognition for their preservation of the culture of tribals of India, who are facing extinction through modern development, exploitation and disease. Dr.Prakash and Dr.(Mrs) Mandakini Amte have both worked tirelessly under extremely difficult conditions to help in the preservation of India's tribal people. Lok Biradari Prakalp (The People's Brotherhood) [Est. – 1973] situated in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra serves the Madia-Gond tribals who are alienated from the outside world. In this particular project primary health care was given top priority. Six sub centres were started in the interior forest area, geographically wide apart from the main hospital, of which three are still functional. The early years of the project entailed a massive struggle in the extremely difficult conditions of a thick and remote forest.

  • Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries Kulkarni C Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries: a Case Series Chaitrali Kulkarni
    Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries Kulkarni C Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries: A Case Series Chaitrali Kulkarni Abstract India, once called the land of villages, has developed not only in its urban but also rural sector. An Indian village community is a political, economic, and a cultural system. While geography is only one of many factors that contribute to health inequities, access to health-care services has been cited as disproportionately poorer for rural residents. With various organizations working hard toward improving the quality of life in these areas; community education, empowerment, good local governance, and preventive occupational therapy are found to be important steps in rural rehabilitation. Therapists have to have understanding of rural life, people, their beliefs, culture, and how this affects health. The Madia-Gond tribal, who have inhabited Gadchiroli for decades, are an extremely remarkable race, affected by chronic poverty, adverse incorporation, a decline in employment opportunities, and the neglect of rural development. This article reports experiences of an occupational therapist working in the tribal areas for the tribal people, who were utterly ignorant, and ages and centuries behind time. Key Words: Occupational Therapy, Quality of Life, Rural Rehabilitation, Tribal INTRODUCTION A dream came true when I got a call from Dr. Anagha Amte about acceptance of my application to serve at their non-governmental organization (NGO). The journey commenced with lots of plans and expectations,
