Know more about us
Who we are
Homoeopathic Academy of Research & Charities is dedicated to delivering holistic healthcare based on homoeopathy to the underprivileged. We also prioritise raising awareness about public health and sanitation through educational campaigns, along with organising medical camps in rural regions.
Our support extends to vulnerable groups like PLHIV, orphans, the elderly, street children, and others. We provide crucial services including education, healthcare, and shelter. To achieve our goals, we depend on donations in various forms.
Our work and its impact
We have also conducted 5 workshops in 4 talukas, involving dialogues on the impact of mobile phones and strategies to encourage reading. As part of these efforts, over 1000 books have been distributed to the 5 participating schools, averaging around 200 books per school.
Here are a few of our other initiatives:
1) We supported 330 underprivileged, orphaned, and HIV-affected children with complete educational kits.

Swadhyayshakti Abhyasika: A reading room/library was set up to empower underprivileged girls. These initiatives collectively address education, health, hygiene, and empowerment.
How we will utilise these books
The funds raised through this campaign will be utilised to provide joyful books from Pratham Books in mother tongue languages to address the growing concern of excessive mobile phone use among children and teenagers in Parbhani. This widespread mobile phone addiction is leading to communication breakdown, confusion, and hampered physical, mental, and intellectual development in students. To counter this, the Homoeopathic Academy of Research and Charities organisation is initiating 'Mobile Detox Therapy' brainstorming sessions starting from August 1, 2023, across Zilla Parishad schools in Parbhani district. The books will help foster a reading culture among children keeping them engaged and informed.
