1. SAPNA in its own modest way has surged ahead in its endeavour to act as an agent of social change in areas of critical concern like public health, women’s empowerment, non-formal education, community development, etc. with focus on the urban as well as the rural poor.

2. SAPNA along with other like-minded individuals has been extending support to the poor patients and attendants coming from far-flung areas of the country and staying in the Safdarjung Hospital Dharamshala. We are providing support in terms of provision of medicines, investigations milk, food, (lunch & dinner), rations, blankets, clothing, transportation, etc. and also cater their other day to day needs. In addition SAPNA is also bearing the cost of operations by providing diagnostic and surgical consumables to the needy patients. Orthopedic aids like crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, collars, etc. are also provided. SAPNA also assists in procuring healthy donors so that blood is sourced on time as per requirement. We are also addressing the counseling as well as recreational/devotional needs of the patients and their attendants.

3. In a similar manner SAPNA is supporting the indigent patients in the Rajgaria Vishram Sadan (AIIMS) by providing milk and morning tea to all the patients as well as medicines & dry rations
to the BPL (Below Poverty Line) patients staying in the Sadan.

4. SAPNA started an Old Age Home on 5th Jan, 2007 for the old, sick and abandoned at Vijay Mandir, Alwar (Rajasthan). Subsequently SAPNA established a Computer Literacy Center on 27th June, 2007 in the same campus for children of the adjoining villages as part of our computer literacy drive. The center has evoked tremendous response.

5. SAPNA has also embarked on an Outreach Health Programme wherein it desires to provide health cover to the poor and the needy with focus on women and children who are unable to access health centres. A mobile team of doctors from Escorts Hospital, Delhi held a Heart Check-up camp in June 2007 at Vijay Mandir, Alwar. This was followed by a Gynae Camp for women organized by the Fortis Group of Hospitals in July 2007 followed by three Eye Camps by Venu Eye Hospital, Delhi during the year. The overwhelming response in these medical camps has highlighted the dire need of health care in rural India. We plan to have at least one such camp every month covering various disciplines of health.

6. In December, 2007 SAPNA undertook the onerous task of looking after unattended patients at the Trauma Centre, AIIMS. We rehabilitate such poor patients who have been abandoned and also provide for after care.

7. SAPNA purchased a Maruti Gypsy PB-17A / 3558 by contributing Rs. 40,000. The remaining amount of Rs. 1,11,000 was paid by Shri Pradeep Vatrana R/o Alwar. A Maruti Van BR - 1X/ 4015 was donated by Shri Rajeev Pratap Rudy to carry out the day to day activities of SAPNA.

8. A dairy was started at Alwar Centre so that milk and milk products could be provided to the residents in the Old Age Home. 4 Cows were donated for their cause.
