Disease Awareness

Healthy Communities. Aware Communities.

Disease Awareness

At Nishita Foundation Seva Samiti, we believe that awareness is the first step to prevention and cure. Millions of lives in India are affected each year due to lack of awareness about common and preventable diseases. Our Disease Awareness Initiative focuses on educating communities—especially in rural and low-income areas—about symptoms, prevention, early detection, and available treatments for various illnesses.

Our Mission

Save lives by spreading knowledge and connecting people to the right resources at the right time.
