Who We Are

Our Mission

Anuyash Arogya Pratishthan is working for the welfare of diabetics. It was established by Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar in 2006. This work was undertaken with the objective of creating awareness about diabetes in the society & providing appropriate assistance to the economically backward sections.

Diabetes is a disease caused by wrong lifestyle & unfortunately India has become the global capital of diabetes. Diabetes is one of the most serious health problems. The mission of Anuyash Arogya Foundation is to make the public aware of it. So, we are working to fulfil the dream of the President’s award recipient, Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar, ‘Diabetes Free India’.

Under the leadership of Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar, who has 27 years of research experience in the field of diabetes, the work of Anuyash Aarogya Foundation has expanded all over India. Our goal is to eradicate diabetes from India & then throughout the entire world. Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar has taken up this challenge & he is committed to it & working with determination.

Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar believes that by making proper lifestyle changes, diabetes can be prevented, controlled & even reversed. Diabetes is not only a health problem but also a social & economic problem & it poses a long term effect on the entire family of the diabetes patient. The goal of the Anuyash Arogya Foundation is to make people aware of the dangers posed by diabetes & its effects on the body.

For this, the following 3 action plans have been prepared.

Preventing non-diabetics to become diabetic

Curing pre-diabetics to non-diabetic

Helping Diabetics to live a healthy life by avoiding further complications and also REVERSING them.

Our Story

Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar firmly believes that there is no prosperity without struggle and based on this positive attitude he has overcome various struggles in life.

High myopia in both eyes at birth caused him to suffer from visual impairment. Also, he has problems with his bones as a result of wrong diagnosis of bone TB at an early age. Ayurvedic treatment revived his life and Dr. Nandedkar decided to devote his entire life to Ayurveda.

Facing all the problems like a brave warrior, Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar continued his education and earned degrees M.Pharm., Ph.D.,M.D. (A.M.), Diploma in Naturopathy and Yogic Science, B.A. (Music), L.L.B. and Diploma in Computer Applications. He has proved his academic intelligence in diverse fields.

The trust & support shown to him by his mother Anusaya & father Yashwant during his entire journey was invaluable. He witnessed his father’s health problems caused by diabetes. Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar was well aware of the health issues associated with diabetes, so he decided to conduct research in this field. Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar has dedicated his life & research on diabetes under the name of Anuyash (Anu-saya & Yash-want) with the aim of extending his parents’ love & blessings throughout his life.

The social work undertaken by Dr. Ravindra Nandedkar has been the result of values instilled by his parents.
