Tribal health care program provides preventive and curative primary health care to the tribal communities of approximately 180 tribal villages in the Peth and Trimbak taluka of Nasik district. Some of these tribal villages lack the basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water. The government health care centers are at long distance and not easily accessible. Hence, health has always been compromised and overlooked. Niramaya initiated its activities in 2008 and since then it has reached almost 40,000 tribal villagers every year.
