FREE Hospitals
Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP) financed the construction and continues to finance the operations of three fully charitable hospitals.
- Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya, Mangarh
- Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya, Barsana
- Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya, Vrindavan
All JKP hospitals are run entirely on charitable donations and are multi-specialty hospitals with modern medical equipment offering free consultation, diagnoses, free treatment (including free surgery), free medication and free follow-up consultations.
These serve a rural population of 1,000,000 within its catchment radius of 80-100 kms, and treat 600-700 patients daily.
Many rural areas in India lack proper medical facilities and even if a health centre is available the majority of people cannot afford the most basic treatment or medications. Therefore, a large portion of the population are deprived of proper health care and suffer terribly.
FREE Secular Education for Girls
Providing free education, uniforms, stationery, and a bright future to students from nursery to post graduate level through charitable funding.
Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalay was founded in 1998 as a self-financed all girls Institute. The institute provides Undergraduate and Postgraduate education to approximately 1500 students with more coming every year. Courses include:
- Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Education
- Master of Arts – Hindi
- Master of Arts – Home Science
Kripalu Balika Intermediate College (KBIC) was established in 1978 in Kunda, Pratapgarh when no other schooling for girls was available. It provides education to approximately 700 girls from Middle and High School Class 6 to 12.
The college is recognised and affiliated with Madhyamik Shiksha Parishat, Uttar Pradesh and follows their curriculum to ensure a quality and contemporary education.
Kripalu Balika Intermediate College Lower Kindergarten (LKG) to Class 5 provides secular primary education (nursery to standard 5) to approximately 700 students. Parents are involved in their child’s education right from the very beginning. There is no discrimination on the basis of culture, religion, caste or creed.
Kunda is situated in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh and has one of the lowest rates of literacy in India. The majority of families struggle just to survive. Having a job, a decent life or the hope of a bright future is so far beyond their reach that education for girls has not been seen as necessary.
