Niramaya Health Foundation

What Niramaya Health Foundation does

Niramaya Health Foundation is a Mumbai-based non-profit organization, registered under Section 8 of the Indian Companies Act and founded in 2001, that delivers community health programs to underserved urban slum and rural populations. The foundation operates across 6 Indian states, 77 urban slums, and 28 villages, reaching more than 10 lakh (1 million) people annually through 12 distinct health programs covering child malnutrition, maternal and antenatal care, adolescent anemia, tuberculosis support, menstrual hygiene, and school health. Direct beneficiaries in FY 2022-23 numbered 2,11,638, including 18,187 children up to age 10, 32,610 adolescents, and hundreds of pregnant and lactating mothers.

The core delivery model is a hybrid physical infrastructure comprising stationary community health clinics (notably Aarogyasanjivani in Mankhurd), mobile medical units serving slum pockets in Mumbai and rural villages in Palghar, Raigad, Satara, and Pune, school-based health and hygiene corners (in 33 schools), and door-to-door community outreach by trained health workers and volunteers. Programmatic offerings include AarogyaJeevan (child malnutrition in Andheri-Jogeshwari), Aarogyasampanna (Trombay), TEJA (adolescent anemia reduction in Chembur-Govandi, achieving 85% hemoglobin improvement), SPARSH, MAMTA, MANAS, SWASTHYA, MAHI (menstrual hygiene), and multiple TB nutritional support programs. All services are provided free of cost to beneficiaries.

The business model is grant-funded rather than revenue-generating. Niramaya is supported by recurring multi-year Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) grants from a concentrated set of Indian corporates (Tata Motors, Tata Power Community Development Trust, Wipro Cares, Asian Paints, Godrej and Boyce, Godrej Consumers, GeBBS Healthcare Solutions, Sterling and Wilson, Metropolis Healthcare, APM Terminals, Clearing Corporation of India, Tree of Life Foundation), supplemented by individual donations, partnerships with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and ICDS for government health system integration, and limited international funding. The foundation is governed by a board of honorary directors and led by CEO Dr. Kshama (Todankar) Nikam. The organization celebrated its 25-year milestone in 2025 and continues to scale its multi-state footprint and program portfolio.
