What JANASEVA FOUNDATION does

A Savitribai Phule Pune University-recognized Research Centre supports evidence-based program design, with collaborations involving WHO, Duke University, PHFI, and Infosys.

The foundation operates a hybrid funding and service model.

COVID-era response included treatment of 1,000+ patients and 11 lakh+ meals.

The organization is led by founder and chairman Dr. Vinod Shah (gastroenterologist) and co-founder/secretary Mrs. Meena Shah, with research leadership under Dr. Subhash Salunke (former WHO-SEARO, Chairman of the Research Committee) and Dr. B.T.
