Who are we?
AADAR Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded by the blessing of Prabhu Shri Ram for the youth by the youth for serving the citizens, helping the needy, reaching to the unreachable population and to guide the misguided communities of the society.
Swanand Patil, Founder & President AADAR Foundation (medical student, Indian Classical Musician) After being to National Youth Parliament, New Delhi in 2024, came up with an idea of working with passionate group of medico and non-medico youth from Maharashtra, committed to bridging the gap between healthcare and humanity.
With over 150+ dedicated volunteers, we have been actively working to bring healthcare and social awareness to underserved communities – from rural waarkaris to urban slum women.
Our core values:
- •Service with empathy
- •Ambiguity free health services for all
- •Empowering through education
Our Work
Humble Beginnings
Waarkari Aarogya Seva Shibir
Held during the Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage, we served hundreds of waarkaris with:
- Medical checkups
- Dental consultations
- Free medications
Anemia & Oral Cancer Screening
With the help of RSS and Jankalyan Rakt Pedhi, we reached women in slum areas to provide:
- Free anemia screening
- Oral cancer checkups
- Awareness on hygiene and nutrition
“स्वर्गासारखी सेवा मिळाली आम्हाला” (the arrangements of the camp were heavenly)
~ माऊली who we were fortunate to treat
“आमचा कोणीतरी विचार करतय हे बघून भरुन आलं..” (I am glad to see someone is thinking about us)
~ Househelp lady who tested herself for Anemia and Oral screening in our camp
Expanding Impact
Beyond Medicine: Awareness & Education
AADAR Foundation recognizes that healing begins with awareness.
To address the growing concern of child abuse and sexual harassment, our volunteers underwent training under a clinical psychologist to become Good Touch-Bad Touch Educators.
- •Workshops conducted in schools and communities
- •Safe space initiatives for children and adolescents
This step marked a powerful shift from just service to social reform.
A New Milestone - NGO Registration
Legally Recognized, Spiritually Rooted
In 2025, AADAR Foundation proudly became a registered NGO under the Charity Commissioner, Maharashtra.
This gave us the platform to expand our reach, accountability, and collaborations.
- •Strengthened volunteer network
- •Structured operations
- •Grant eligibility and donor trust
2025 Waarkari Seva Camp
Bigger. Better. More Impactful.
Held during the 2025 Ashadhi Wari, the upgraded Waarkari Seva Camp included:
- Medical and Dental Services
- Physiotherapy for elderly and walking waarkaris
- Health Awareness Seminars
- Focus on Women's Health & Menstrual Hygiene
- Cancer Awareness sessions with real-life stories
- Nutrition guidance and health kits distributed
Our volunteers worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk, embodying the true spirit of seva.
Sanjeevani 2025
Empowering First Responders from Within the Community
In a unique blend of culture and care, Sanjeevani 2025 is an initiative by AADAR Foundation and the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Pune, aimed at creating a community of trained first responders during large public events — starting with the vibrant Ganesh festival.
The inspiration came from last year's real-life hero, Tasha musician Swanand Patil, who saved a citizen's life by performing CPR on Laxmi Road. That single act sparked a larger vision: training everyday citizens, especially youth, in basic life-saving techniques like Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
- On August 24, 250+ musicians and non-medical participants from over 15 Dhol-Tasha pathaks were trained in CPR and emergency response
- Earlier, on August 3, 75+ medical students underwent advanced emergency training
- These students will be stationed at key locations like Laxmi Road, Kunthékar Road, and Kelkar Road during Ganesh Visarjan
Sanjeevani 2025 is not just a training program—it's a movement to build a safer, more prepared community, where help can come from the person standing right next to you.
